U.S. News & World Report's Michael Barone Says We Are Only Beginning To Learn About What Went On Behind The Scenes

[talkingham]

Yet another press apologist article granting full pardon to the Bush lies, cherry picked intelligence. No mention of Colin Powell''s fake mobil lab photos shown to the UN and the world. No mention of the Bush team''s character assasination of anyone who opposed their lies, the generals fired or forced to retire because they advised Bush that the occupation of Iraq would be a disaster. NO mention of the outing of a CIA whose husband went public on the Bush lies in his State of the Bush Nation of lies.

To say that EVERYONE on both sides of the isle believed these lies is yet another lie. The lies presented by the intelligence community to the senate and house have been waived off as bad intelligence gathering. Bad because they knew in many cases that the so-called intel came from known liars who made hundreds of thousands of dollars on their lies.

Lie-on. It works. Bush is obviosly a well trained graduate of the School for Scoundrels.

They knew Saddam was crippled and posed no real threat to us after the first Gulf War - he had his hands full dealing with the same Islamic extremists that have killed more than 4,000 of our best equipped troops and permanently maimed another 25,000.

Lie, lie, lie and then lie some more.

"If one bothered to actually read the article it clearly states EVERYONE on both sides of the isle thought Sadam was a THREAT end of story. THe vial politics and hatred from the left is misguided and solely driven by politics not facts." Posted by notblue

Oh the article states it, so it must be true? What about the parts that are clearly not true? are they true also, because the article said so?

''The picture Feith paints is at considerable variance from the narratives with which we''ve become familiar.''

That''s because he knows history will remember him as the little weasel who helped lie the nation into war. It''s little wonder he would try and lie his way out as well.

Barone, if by some bizarre miracle these posts reach you, are an weak apologists and you - like Feith - only fool those eager to be deceived. You''re both little cowardly maggots IMO.

Plus the fact that most warmongers are NOT in the military would be on the side of those who wanted an end to wars. You''ll also find that most people in the military are of the belief that war is THE LAST OPTION and should be avoided at all costs - the simple reason for this belief being that they are the ones who stand to lose their life, so they have a vested interest in maintaining peace.

"To achieve this one hell of a war would have to be fought. I am sure the warmongers would probley win"

Not necessarily. All we need to do is build dig a moat around them and leave them stranded. Leave them where they are and WE all go somewhere else ;)

Plus, peace loving people outnumber warmongers by ratios of hundreds of thousands to one. That''s a vastly overwhelming majority. Plus factor in that MOST warmongers have no taste for war if THEY have to fight it - most are armchair generals who hide behind those that actually do the dying. Given that the numbers of those who want peace are vast, and that we have a CAUSE that we''d possibly have to fight FOR, then we could never lose. The warmongers only like war for the sake of it and that''s why they usually lose those wars, they''re fighting against ideology. People die, but ideas live on...

I like this idea!!

Please, give me a break. The neocons wanted a war for all of the wrong reasons: oil, war profiteering, etc.,. I really believe that they think the American people are not so intelligent (although reading some of the neocon postings - one would have to agree to a certain extent). What would one expect from Donald Fieth? He and the rest of the cronies thought they could conduct war on the cheap and the roar against war would eventually go away as long as we won and won fast. Bad judgement on their part. Had any of the ''paper tigers'' ever served they wouldn''t have rushed into an unprovoked war. This is when W got congress to give him the authority for war saying he would exhaust all diplomacy first, and the next thing you know he is on TV telling Saddam that he and his sons had 48 hours to leave. Nothing wrong with that but he misled congress. No good comes from the "fruit of the poisionous tree" and that is why nothing has went right for the Administration with regard to this war. Feith and the rest of the paper tigers, please just crawl under a rock and stay there!

To achieve this one hell of a war would have to be fought. I am sure the warmongers would probley win because the masses have soft bellies and no taste for war. There will be wars and rumors of war. When a country is attacked, somebody has to die.

When we close our minds to reallity, we only see what we believe.
There are those who still think the "actual" price of oil changes on a day to day bases.

To find fault is easy, all we have to do is close our eyes and visualize.
