Republican cut and run?

Obviously, the sanctions worked better than anyone knew, but he still had the desire to obtain them, and it's wrong to assume he would never obtain them again. We know he had them and he was willing to use them. We also know he condoned, encouraged, financed and rewarded terrorist activities.

9/11 proved the status quo was not acceptable.

Of course, some people actually believe Saddam sent military leaders and scientists to Niger to buy coffee.

LOL

:lolBIG:

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Secretary Powell: The sanctions, as they are called, have succeeded over the last 10 years, not in deterring him from moving in that direction, but from actually being able to move in that direction. The Iraqi regime militarily remains fairly weak. It doesn't have the capacity it had 10 or 12 years ago. It has been contained. And even though we have no doubt in our mind that the Iraqi regime is pursuing programs to develop weapons of mass destruction -- chemical, biological and nuclear -- I think the best intelligence estimates suggest that they have not been terribly successful. There's no question that they have some stockpiles of some of these sorts of weapons still under their control, but they have not been able to break out, they have not been able to come out with the capacity to deliver these kinds of systems or to actually have these kinds of systems that is much beyond where they were 10 years ago.[/FONT]

Now lets bomb these fuckers... ope:

Fine Willie. Maybe had you and the rest served in the armed services you might not take as lightly what small justification it took the Bushies to get 4500 of our guys killed. Please start working on your spin on what good they did.

 

[Willie99]

Gee Fletch, thanks for showing that Powell totally agreed with me

But what's with that misplaced "LOL"?

:lol:

As I've shown many times...it's not about the 4500 servicemen killed doing what they signed up to do. Bush didn't draft them...you might have a point if that were true.

Many more in the armed forces died unde,r Clinton without a war...it's a damn dangerous job just keeping the machinery running 24/7 all around the world.

Enough of the crocodile tears about the 4500...you are using their deaths to further your politics...and its despicable of you to do that.

 

[punter]

Hmm, I'm despicable to bring up their death while Bush is blameless because they volunteered.

You are in dire need of professional help.

The total number of US military who died during Clinton's eight years exceeds the 4500 military who were killed on the job during Bush's eight years.

However, of that former group, the number who died on the job could be collectively assembled in a small hotel room. The rest all died of natural causes and/or older age while still being employed by the military.

I would worry about GW Bush losing sleep over the thousands of American men and women he sent to their deaths to protect his corporate masters, but I honestly don't think he's bright enough to realize the magnitude of his obscene choices.

BTW Punter, really like the Tasmajerry slang

 

[punter]

Thought about Tajmajerry but it just didn't seem to fit.

That thing is unfucking believable. They are finally straightening out the mess that the old turnpike left. Going to help traffic flow a bunch.

Last time I was in town was April 2007 and they were just getting going when we visited SixFlags and a ball game at The Temple.
