* stolen election: never been proven one way or the other.

* selected President: never heard that one.

* tax cuts for the rich: duh.....what part of this one do you not get?

* Saddam was contained - sanctions were working: they were....there were no WMDs, no purchase of yellow cake uranium, no ties to al Qaida....as the Bushies contended.

* rush to war: that's right.....the weapons inspectors wanted more time......Bush wouldn't give it to them. Why?

* unilateral - go it alone canards: we did go it alone,nothing false about that....oh yeah, there was the ten men from poland and the 6 guys and a gal from Bulgaria but the invasion was unilateral.......its been American lives and American money and American firepower......primarily.

* Iraq war planned before 9/11: that's right.......the neocons were pushing for an invasion while Clinton was president.

* Bush knew in advance about 9/11 & did nothing; I pray that's not true.

* illegal war: all war is illegal.

* Bush lied us into war: what part of his one do you not get?

* the imminent threat canard: you're getting redundant.

* civilians intentionally targeted/massive civilian casualties canards: I hope not.

* if we go to War in Iraq, there will be a dramatic increase in terrorist attacks globally: There have been......terrorism has been on the ascendancy for the past two years.

* the Wilson/Plame/yellowcake canards: you keep using the word canard incorrectly.....there is nothing false about Wilson/Plame/yellowcake.....stop listening to Rush.

* quagmire: what do you call Iraq these days?

* bogged down: see quagmire

* Bush's justification for war was "stockpiles" of WMD's & nothing else: that was one of the major reasons given.......if you doubt that, then revisit Powell's Feb. presentation to the UN.

* Saddam had no ties/connections to Al Qaeda: he didn't...if you think he did, prove it.

* there were no terrorists in Iraq prior to Saddam's removal: if there were, they were much fewer than there are now.

* The Bush Admin falsely linked Saddam to 9/11 as part of the justification to go to war: true.

* Bush was AWOL: Where was he when he was missing meetings?

* Bush received "special" treatment based upon
Dan Rather's forged documents: haven't heard that one.

* Bush's crushing of dissent & freedoms: haven't heard that one. He has restricted freedoms.......hasn't stifled dissent......yet.

That's enough....throwing everything but the kitchen sink is a great way to get away from the core issues and prevent any meaningful discourse. Its a great way to deal when you can't possibly win a one on one discussion.

And btw you overuse the word canard and with most examples, used it incorrectly.
