Ted Re...First let me say........I don't know this Asia Times publication any better than you do. I simply posted an article from there at one time.
Isn't it amazing how you can change your tune when you wish. When somebody from Asiatimes prints something which favors your side, why, they are the most honest paper in the world; when it goes against you, the paper is thrash. Asia times has writers for both of our sides. Escobar has written articles favoring both east and west, but mostly east. Most of the rest seem to favor east or wast, not both, however the paper employs both conservatives and liberal, unlike most American rags.
don't know if Herr Pfluger of the German Parliament is a reasonable person or someone looking to start trouble.
well, why don't you enter Friedland Pfluger into google and see what comes up. I did and came up with over 90 articles. Pfluger is very influential in Germany, like Daschle would be here.
I do know that its surprising that Pfluger says its not okay for him to release alleged secret documents but it is okay for Schroeder......that's doesn't make sense
It makes perfect sense. Only the president here, has the ultimate authority to release classified documents. Pfluger was shown classified documents, just as LIeberman here was, under the condition he didn't release them. Schroeder as president has the authority to release those documents if he so choses. By claiming Gw has no proof, when Schroeders own intelligence agency has confirmed that Saddam has them, is an outright lie. He is deceiving the German people for his own political purposes.
Amer. and Brit intelligence and France and Germany believe the former theory is correct while Bush, Blair and apparently German intelligence believe the latter theory is correct.
That is an outright lie. American, Brit and German intelligence all agree that Iraq, has WMD. along with Blix. GW and Blair believe what their intelligence agencies have told them. Schroeder prefers to ignore his intelligence service to suit his politcal purposes. Don't even begin to try to tell me that the CIA doesn't think Saddam has WMD; in fact Powells speech today had proof from the CIA that Saddam has WMD.
The UN inspectors were to assist us in determining which theory is the correct one........that doesn't seem to be happening
Wrong again. The UN weapons inspectors were to inspect the destruction of Saddams weapons, not go around and try to find them. 1441 said that Saddam had to disclose where his weapons were, and the inspectors would make sure they were destroyed under UN supervision.
Again, I don't know the credibilty of Herr Pfluger......there are some crazy members of the Bundestag.
Don't you think schroeder would challenge Pfluger if he could. Why not have the intelligence agency, confirm or deny the existence of WMD, what would be classified about that; just as you were claiming Gw should do for us. Well, Gw did release intelligence today; shouldn't Schroeder do likewise.
If human decency is the issue why are we not in the Ivory Coast right now.....people are getting slaughtered left or right.......or Nigeria for that matter.
Thats easy. How many of them have WMD threatening the US. How many of them have tortured 1500 prisoners by using them as guinea pigs for Saddams gas experiments. How many of them have connections to Al qaeda, and are plotting to kill thousands with their deadly gases.
He thought the US would be too chickenshit because the Reagan and Bush administrations led him to believe we were all friends. It would seem Saddam doesn't understand GOP politics and friendship, huh?
Saddam doesn't understand human nature. Would you stand by a friend, if you knew you friend killed his wife and children. Some times a presidnet has to stand up for hman rights, not friends. Saddam wasn't the symbol of evil, threatening human rights, when he took office 23 yrs ago. Things change. |
