To liberalme: I am an Indepedent and you are obviously a plant because even Conservatives would not accept what you call lies. It seems the biggest lie is your handle.

SIGH--- I am not a plant--although I do have many beautiful plants--I am not one of them. I am a mere person, who refuses to fall victim to the Bush BS over these past several years.
Not only were the statements I made true--but I truly believe certain people in this country knew 911 was going to happen!

I was independant once--then I got smart!

That I oppose the lies spread by Bush haters does not mean I am for Bush - I am against the extreme damage done to this country BY the Bush haters and their lies.

1--not a lie---Bush "misled" the world over 900 times.
Would "misled" be akin to a lie? Was the statement on the news a lie?

2--Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction-Bin Laden wasn''t there--Sadam wasn''t harboring terrorists. Lie?

3--How about the mistreatment of our troops at Walter Reid? Lie?

4--How about the thousands of deaths in Iraq caused by "misinformation--a lie?

You really should stop listening to the scare tacticts of the Bush regime--go on the internet--google anything you accuse the libs of lying about, then come back and call us liars again.

Cn you say Flipflopper?

935 lies.

4000 dead Americans, BECAUSE OF THOSE LIES.

1.9 trillion down the tube, BECAUSE OF THOSE LIES.

The US dollar, worthless, BECAUSE OF THOSE LIES.

And Cheney/Halliburton walking away with the spoils of war, BECAUSE OF THOSE LIES.

Great legacy, from the Butcher of Crawford.

To jkantor or any other moron who thinks their is such a thing as an enemy called "terror." Just how will I know when this imaginary war is over. Does Dorothy arrive with Toto and declare "Mission Accomplished." Just what do you expect to happen, turn all of the Sunnis and ****** into Born again Christians so thay will hold hands for Koombaya?

[gabbysmomrs]

The rush is on. Bush, Cheney and their cohorts haven''t succeed at reaching the goals they and those who are behind him set when elected. Did any of us really think he wouldn''t extend the war? Please, get this guy impeached before he gets this accomplished, Please.

[marcodele]

The extreme damage done to this country is from the lies Bush told congress and the American people.
Nothing can change that fact.

So Bush can "re-mission" the war on terror as many times as he changed excuses for invading Iraq. The facts remain U.S. soldiers are dying and our economy is sinking, thanks to W and the idiots who kept making excuses for him.

[jerr11]

Get ready for the big event tonite!

THE STATE OF THE UNION,

otherwise known as:

ANOTHER EVENING OF LIES AND CRA*P.

[liberalme]

I think he should have done nothing, zero, zip. Just let the terrorists do what they want.

I agree!! Then, more likely than not, 911 may not have ever happened if Bush had done nothing!

[briannorwood]

Just another dagger into Bush''s legacy. We all knew that Afghanistan was the central front on the war against Al Qaeda...And that the Administration took its eye off the ball there.

And why? So Bush could set his sights on Iraq-- a country not even remotely involved in Al Qaeda.

That was a blunder of unprecidented dimensions, for which the Bush "legacy" will never recover.

In 2007 Condoleeza Rice in a meeting with President Musharaf of Pakistan said the administration was not happy with the progress being made on their end of the Caspian Sea Pipeline. Unkown to the administration at the time, Musharaf was talking to Iran & India.
January 24,2008 India announced a plan for a 2,775 km Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline. Union Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said, "Iranian ambassador spoke to me tuesday and they are very keen that the project takes shape as it is in the interest of all three countries ". Times of India
This is a new twist that does not fit Cheney''s energy policy for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas pipelines headed for Pakistan to supply Asian markets.
Will Musharaf dump the USA''s Caspian Sea Pipeline now that he has Iran on line in this new deal? Or will he take both pipelines through Pakistan for Asian markets ?

February 12, 1998 John J. Maresca vp of UNOCAL oil appeared before a House sub committee. The purpose of the meeting was to gain support for exploitation of oil & natural gas resources purchsed by BIG OIL in the Caspian Sea area. In his testimony he stated, "The key question is how the energy resources of Central Asia can be made available to nearby Asian markets ". The exploitation option stated : "One obvious route south would cross Iran, but this is foreclosed by American companies because of U.S. sanctions (with Iran ) . The only other possible route is across Afghanistan, which of course has it''''s own unique challenges. " He continued saying, " the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments,lenders (world monitary fund & world bank ) ,and our company "......" UNOCAL and other American companies are prepared to undertake the job ".

More than a year and half before 911 the CIA Special Activities Division was conducting operations in Afghanistan, trying to topple the Taliban regime for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas Pipelines.

There is no such thing as a terrorist, that is a word made up by the winner of the war to describe the people that were defeated but refuse to stop fighting.

Until there is equity in the world and the corporations (mostly american) stop rapeing other countries, there will be guerrilla warfare,

The mindless christians that support the criminal in the
white house are responsible.

[samsel3]

These people are responsible for the wars.

On January 26, 1998 in a letter to the President the PNAC asked Clinton to invade Iraq and get rid of Saddam Hussein. Clinton denied their request.
We can all talk about the past, but what about now and the future ? Presently the PNAC (Project for a New American Century ) and the CNP Council for National Policy is planning your future. These two secretive organisations with crossover membership of several hundred of the richest men in the USA put Bush & Cheney in office to accomplish their global agenda.

Terrorists are merely opportunists. The true enemies are the ones among us who make them possible.

You are a fool ! Take another sip of the Kool-Aid, it''s a different flavor today.

[jkantor]

And when the bombings start here - we will hold you accountable for undermining the war.

[jkantor]

The reason why we are losing "the war on terror" is precisely because the news media and the liberals make it out to be "Bush''s" war. It''s everybody''s war. And if you aren''t with us, you''re against us. Terrorists are merely opportunists. The true enemies are the ones among us who make them possible.

It''s all about BIG OIL. The administration wants regime change in Venezuela. Conoco-Phillips, Mobil Exxon & Chevron would not accept new conditions for their oil leases. They wanted significant control in new areas of the gulf of Venezuela, but the Venezuelan''s are looking after it''s own interests and offered a diminished role in developing oil reserves or nothing. As a result all three companies were terminated. The owners of these companies are Richard Cheney''s friends and now look for the administrations strong arm tactics.

In 2006 & 2007 Iran & Venezuela vested oil deals and partnered to develop tracts in Venezuelas Orinoco Reserve. One tract Iran will help develop contains approximately 30 billion barrels of oil.
Venezuela''s total oil reserves are estimated at 265 billion barrels which could top the Saudi''''s Reserves.

Venezuela, has struck oil and natural gas deals with Iran & Malaysia , as well as China and Russia . China & Russia. will aid and protect Venezueala if needed .

Compared to what is going on in Africa and the Middle East the average American is well protected. Count your blessings.

Compared to what is going on in Detroit the average resident of Martha''s Vineyard is well protected. Count your blessings.

That is about a hell of a note, isn''t it? The Bush apologists are now resorting to "Well, we could have dorked it up worse, you know.".
