Why is she snarling? sure looks like it to me.
Who would even WANT to remember such a meeting, if nothing was done

Would not expect anything different. Typical of the Bush administration. Reality is obviously not a concept they deal in at any level.

[staff2--2008]

What this administration (and republicans in general) does well is duck accountability...I have never seen so many forgetful people in one place...think about that when you vote republican...don't forget...

How is it that she is Secretary of State - also considered to be a brilliant person that she cannot remcall a meeting with the CIA regarding an impending attack on our country? Oh! pleeees.

[abbe7]

Maybe will a little bit more help she will recall

What would you expect her to say: "Well, yeah, I knew. But if we just sat back and did nothing it would give George the reason he needed to attack Iraq and overthrow Saddam. Something he's been wanting to do since day one."

As Americans we really do not know much about evil. *Now we do. We have to stop finger pointer, and get really serious, and fight a total war for our future.
That means doing whatever it takes to protect us and win.



* slitting throats on plaines, killing innocents in the thousands, after liberation of Iraq, killing fellow Arabs, targeting women and children, sadistic torture. (Our people jumping out of WTC. - show the pictures everyday media ! --) And..cutting off heads of innocent reporters. What next ? Nuclear bombs, biologic ? We are decent, they are evil. We are "feeling bad" for gitmo prisoners, and their rights, they are planning to dominate the world.

NICE RICE!

Just ride the wave of ignorance.
Just like the rest of us! Yea!

I bet you it's gonna work for Abramoff!!
Good call Rove!

For how much responsibility these people have, they sure are forgetful.

Hey Stopne,
Don't know why we attacked the serbs except for the ethnic cleansing thing going on.
However that has been taking place in many countries.
That is not important to the situation we are in now.
Same for Clinton and his fun with Monica.
(Reality is most men would have done the same thing, History and surveys show cheating happens more then most are willing to admit)
The interfearence of Ken Starr's investigation might have had something to do with Clintons decision making. (Most Republicans said those missle attacks were trying to take the focus away from Ken Starrs investigation)

However the information you state is not accurate.

"What we did though was have solid evidence that Saddam was seeking WMDs (if he didn't have them), that he DID have ties to terror groups, and he was torturing and killing his people."

This has already been shown to be false information regarding ties to Al Qaeda and WMD's.
As far as torturing and killing goes, it is happening elsewhere all the time.

Still does not help us in the current situation with Al Qaeda.
The war with Iraq is about oil and money for the war machine. Also for the money it brings the direct benefactors on the other end of the Government contracts.
It's not about morals, otherwise we would be stepping in in Africa.
It is also not about WMD's otherwise we would be after North Korea, Pakistan, India and Iran.
All developing Nukes.
Again none of this takes care of Al Qaeda.

What I find incomprehensible: that after all those warnings of possible terrorist attacks y'all decided to take a month long vacation in Texas after only 7 months on the job!
