Scheuer: Bin laden gave a speech or a statement in November of 2001 and he said basically: We don't have to do anything else to the Americans regarding their domestic society. They are going to strangle their own society. They will eat away at their civil liberties. They'll become divisive within.

They are going to strangle their own society. They will eat away at their civil liberties. They'll become divisive within.

They will eat away at their civil liberties.
Bush and Company have done that

They'll become divisive within.
All of us for that

We will get around to the proper Democratic ticket sooner than I thought. Everyone will be dead tired of Hillary and Obama long before the first primary and ready for a winning ticket.
Think about Gore/Richardson. The Republicans would be scared to death over that one.

We could have some Republicans for dinner, but we've had way too much "lying pig" over the past 6 years.

The fact remains...Major Scott Ritter, USMC was 100% correct in his on-the-ground assessment of Saddam's WMD capability. Myself, and millions of others, with the not unusual ability to assess
facts, realized that he and his team had not found WMDs, that the US had given the UN dozens of leads based on their intelligence resources and these leads turned up nothing--this is not secret...it was a matter of public record at the time. It was patently and painfully obvious that Saddam had no WMDs...save to all those too obtuse or too interested in making the case for war, to care about the facts of the matter.

Incidentally, I didn't claim to 'know more than the CIA'...all I had was the common knowledge available at the time...you know...that which Edwards ignored...and there were millions of us who knew this. In those halcyon days when the invasion was young, the 'mission accomplished' and the Democrats firmly on board the war bandwagon...the chickenhawks and Bush worshippers would accuse us of 'hoping that no WMDs were found so that the US would look bad...' Now, we have the Democratic apologists bleating the old Bush excuse..."faulty intelligence," to excuse their negligence.

By the by, I'm sure you are not troubling with the psychological ramifications of correcting my spelling lapses while dissecting and altering my 'handle'.

I wish Clinton II was only irresponsible and naive. Actually she is calculating, amoral, and evil.

What kind of a Democratic party would support such a calculating pro-war liar like Clinton II after George Bush? As if we never learn. We get what we deserve, but even as cynical as I am I can't believe we deserve this amoral, indecent, lying and corrupt pyschopath woman as our president. You would think one power-hungry sociopath such as George Bush would be enough for this nation.

The only difference in what you say is Mr Slick Willie also said WMD's were there and so does (well she use too) Mrs. Clinton. One President had guts the other had more urgent things to take care of...the things he was wanting and not getting (what he thinks) at the White House.

bennyblack1 says, "due to some satelite video that I saw..."

Wow! That must be a reliable source! Almost as good as "I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another..."

FYI, benny, the UN had inspectors on the ground in Iraq. They never found any WMD. But Bush made them all go home when he attacked Iraq, so I guess we'll never really know the truth. But it's likely that several years of extreme "sanctions", plus daily bombings, seriously hampered any possible attempt by Hussein to develop WMD.

At least you're right about one thing-- the soldiers who spent time in Iraq came back f'ed up, and the soldiers there now will return f'ed up, and Bush and Cheney don't give a flying fig what happens to them since they are simply pawns in their evil game of destruction for profit and power.

Easy to point fingers when you haven't been around long enough to be called for any of your own misguided calls. Obama needs to lighten up and let Hilary bury herself in her hypocrisy. Hilary, left alone, is her own worst enemy. I still say Obama is not ready for the job as president...he needs to serve first as vice...and learn how not be reactive to the likes of Hilary.
