  • Wow-Bush WAS moral?

    Speaking of the quest for WMDs in Iraq, I for one can barely express my shock that they were not found after the U.S. invasion. Before the war, I allowed that the body of evidence supported the existence of WMDs. That did not seem like sufficient reason to embrace a second war, abandoning Afghanistan. Instead, I was quite certain that the real ...

  • Re: Lying piece of garbage

    Dearleader nyc:Dear god! Mustard Gas!! I was a fool to ever oppose this war! They even had the ''know how'' to create other weapons of mass destruction like bottle rockets and m-80s. If we hadn't invaded, Saddam's unchecked stockpiles of mustard gas would have been an immediate threat to the United States' vital trench warfare security! I was ...

  • In 1991 we knew that there was nothing there

    The US and NATO allies did a very extensive and thorough inspection (that I took part in, btw.) on NBC weapons presence and capabilities. Nothing, Zip, Zilch, NADA!!! and we collectively decided: ''He ain't got sh1t.'' We also decided:''We ain't gonna be telling anyone, because the 'neighbors' (Turks included) are going upon him like stink on ...

  • The State of the World

    looking into the future back in 1945 must have given nuclear scientists pause. we are in the middle of it so we don't really see what we're in. nuclear proliferation among rogue states is upon us. terrorists will get their hands on them too (if not already).And let's not forget the chemical and biological wmd's that abound. This is a when, not if ...

  • Libya and WMD

    Libya did not give up its WMD program because of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Former Assistant Secretary of State Indyk and NSC Director Leverett addressed this in the LA Times and NY Times respectively in 2004. Libya began offering to give up its WMD program in 1999 but the United States wouldn't discuss it until Libya met the conditions of UNSC ...

  • Colin Powell IS America

    Sir- You are an outrageous journalist with a pen. Colin Powell has done more for this country than you will ever do with your scaving words. Why not try to DO something instead of SAYING something. Be in the moment... kinda like the person you so disrespectfully wrote about. Why did you try to shift weight on Powell when the Bush admin is the ...

  • Big News About the WMD Intelligence

    Salon.com, which does some pretty outstanding investigative journalism, has a new story out today in which two former CIA officers say that, prior to the war, Bush dismissed secret intelligence that called into question his claims about Iraqi WMDs: http://www.salon.com/opinion/blumenthal/2007/09/06/bush_wmd/ In a nutshell, the administration ...

  • Colin Powell as Tragic Superhero

    His sole superpower, 20/20 hindsight, gets him in trouble. He has to stand up for his beliefs at the appropriate times as opposed to X years down the line. I blog a little more about this here: http://dubesor.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/colin-powell-a-tragic-superhero/
