Zzzzz... SNORT! HUH, WHAT??

Man, that story is such a snoozer, I think I''ll use it for a betime story for my kids.

Hey, did you hear THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT starting next year. Now we can blame THEM for everything from now on!!!

Let''s see how they adjust to having "absolute power" like the GOP did 8 years ago. LOL!

Let''s see how big of a crater THEY make...

Even if you do, you still can''''t read them. Sandy Berger smuggled out the secret archives that proved Bill Clinton''''s crimes.

Remember him? He took out secret docuemnts in his underwear. When questioned, his excuse was that he intended to put them back before he left, but he forgot that the secret documents were in his underwear.

Oh, yah! That''''s bringing the Clinton years back to me...

And Mr. Berger lost his law license over those "copies".

He did not out a CIA agent on active duty.

TS/SCI with all the tickets. Drives you crazy I know. Drives me crazy that I can''''t use specifics but comes with the territory. I just have to live with it. THe most irritating is that public "facts" is a dubious notion at best.

Well your clearances sure trump any I ever held. And you are right about dubiuos public facts and that includes any presented in favor of either party. We can agree to disagree but there were mobile chemical weapons labs found and uranium etc. Bush and the congress both acted on the same intelligence so the nameless puppeteers are the ones who lied I guess.

Then there is the matter of the United Nation''''''''s Charter which Bush violated by the invasion of Iraq

Please. The UN is an impotent organization that lacks the intestinal fortitude to back up it''s own sanctions. This is evidenced by the fact that Iran continues to enrich uranium while thumbing their noses at the UN.

What the UN is or is not - is not the question.

Bush violated a signed treaty with that organization.

Unless you have the highest security clearance, you have not read the full intelligence reports.

Bush Uranium Lie Is Tip of the Iceberg

7/18/03

Five months later, the truthfulness of one claim in George W. Bush''s State of the Union address has become the focus of growing media scrutiny. The attention media are paying to this single assertion should be part of a larger journalistic inquiry into other misstatements and exaggerations that have been made by the Bush administration about Iraq.

In the January 28 speech, Bush claimed that "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." That assertion was similar to claims made previously by administration officials, including Secretary of State Colin Powell (CBS Evening News, 12/19/02), that Iraq had sought to import yellowcake uranium from Niger, a strong indication that Saddam Hussein''s regime was reconstituting its nuclear weapons program.

In fact, the Niger story, as documented by journalist Seymour Hersh (New Yorker, 3/31/03) and others, was based on crudely forged documents. In addition, the administration''s own investigation in March 2002 concluded that the story was bogus. As one former State Department official put it, "This wasn''t highly contested. There weren''t strong advocates on the other side. It was done, shot down" (Time, 7/21/03).

Don''''t let public facts get in your way. Unless you have the highest security clearance, you have not read the full intelligence reports. This country has secrets like any other and rightfully so. If you know something, then so do our enemies.

I don''''t need to read the article, I have read the intelligence reports. The American people were lied to.
