(Although, for some reason now, I have a vision of him as an Elder Horror... Ia! Ia! Bush ftaghn! Nope, doesn't work...)

If Bush Sr. was organizing this war he would have had some solid fake evidence ready to sway the UN Security Council and public opinion when he needed it. Bush Jr. can't even produce fake evidence that will stand up for a day or two. Jay

Post #88,177 by deSitter 3/13/03 9:33:18 PM Reply	Re: Same feelings Well, that's somewhat different than being fake - that's merely bad rhetoric. Was something actually concocted? (As Spock would put it, one must distinguish a lie from mere exaggeration.) -drl
Post #88,226 by JayMehaffey 3/13/03 11:41:33 PM Reply	Possibly The IAEA said the some of the evidence presented to it about Iraq's nuclear program was fake. But it isn't clear if that was US or British, plus it's always possible they where simply passing on bogus information provided by one of their sources. I would also put the attempts to link Saddam to 9/11 beyond the level of exaggeration. This claim has been made again and again by Bush, despite leaks from the intelligence services that indicate they don't think it's true. Jay

It has to be hard to ignore an elder statesman of your own party... who is also a former President... who also had much the same situation you had to deal with... who also happens to be your father...

How Bush helped fund Saddams chem-bio weapons programs. How Bush refused to "get" Saddam after the First Gulf War. It just goes to show, you can NEVER know who your REAL enemies are.
Post #88,173 by marlowe 3/13/03 9:21:33 PM Reply	With all due respect... we wouldn't have this particular manifestation of the terror problem if Papa Bush had followed through the first time. What's he trying to be the Republican Carter now? "Drawing on his own experiences before and after the 1991 Gulf War" but not during? The future is leaving the station, the US is at the throttle, and the Left isn't on board. No oil for TotalFinaElf! CHICKENHAWK! Scourge of clucking hens everywhere! Victory is the answer.

Shades of the grudge-keeper in Giant, the Upanishads of Texas oil-critters.. Coke & booze together can make a mediocre personality positively unstable. But not to fear - Muricans will elect Anyone who Walks Tall. (Or not really-elect, as the case may be.) Ashton
Post #88,323 by cwbrenn 3/14/03 11:04:42 AM Reply	I don't mind walking tall there's nothing wrong it. In fact, I consider it an admirable quality in a person. But it needs to be combined with, you know, other things. "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young
