Yep, a retarded leftwinger like you would take a joke and attempt to fashion into another of your hatelets. You prove my point, halfwit. _______________________________________________________ This is the pattern. First, bury the Kerry sex scandal story. (In the past that would be the end of it). Oooops, Drudge finds it. Ignore it. It keeps spreading via the Internet. OK, mention it in passing and ridicule it. No luck, its still there and now everyone's curiosity is piqued. OK, label it right wing rumor. No good. All right FINE!!!! Report on it indignantly. Now lets up the Bush went AWOL stories. In fact, not only did Bush go AWOL, while he was flying in the Air National Guard, he strafed African American Neighborhoods.

And the soap opera continues.. Iraq arms hunt in doubt in '02 Fri Feb 13, 6:21 AM ET Add Top Stories - USATODAY.com to My Yahoo! By John Diamond, USA TODAY A classified U.S. intelligence study done three months before the war in Iraq (news - web sites) predicted a problem now confronting the Bush administration: the possibility that Iraqi weapons of mass destruction might never be found. The study by a team of U.S. intelligence analysts, military officers and civilian Pentagon (news - web sites) officials warned that U.S. military tactics, guerrilla warfare, looting and lying by Iraqi officials would undermine the search for banned Iraqi weapons. Portions of the study were made available to USA TODAY. Three high-ranking U.S. intelligence officials described its purpose and conclusions. "Locating a program that ... has been driven by denial and deception imperatives is no small task," the December 2002 report said. "Prolonged insecurity with factional violence and guerrilla forces still at large would be the worst outcome for finding Saddam's WMD arsenal." The report went to the National Security Council but was not specifically shown to President Bush (news - web sites), the officials said. The study findings diverge from statements by U.S. officials that caches of banned weapons would be found. In February 2003, two months after completion of the study, CIA (news - web sites) Director George Tenet told lawmakers, "I think we will find caches of weapons of mass destruction, absolutely." Tenet was aware of the internal study, said a CIA official who advises him. But Tenet, who declined to comment, viewed its warnings as just one possible scenario among many. Tenet's view has changed. "Finding things in Iraq is always very tough," he said last week at Georgetown University. The study, which is still classified, and comments by David Kay, the former chief of the U.S. arms search in Iraq, call into question the president's remark Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press that "we'll find out" what happened to Iraq's weapons. Kay told lawmakers last month, "There will always be unresolved ambiguity" about the fate of the Iraqi arsenal. Kay said he now believes that Iraq did not have banned weapons before the war and had probably destroyed them more than a decade ago. The study looked at scenarios including Iraqi use of chemical or biological weapons and the possibility that no weapons would be found. The study considered but rejected the possibility that Iraq had no banned weapons. The study said arms searchers would be "trying to find multiple needles in a haystack ... against the background of not knowing how many needles have been hidden." Some of the obstacles outlined by the study included the expected rapid movement of U.S. ground forces over wide areas, leaving critical sites vulnerable to looting. Guerrilla warfare, the report predicted, also would make the weapons search difficult.

Why don't you lighten up on Bush. At least he has a conscience and does do what he says unlike his predecessor. I don't agree with Bush on many social issues as he has pandered to the middle too much. I feel he is trying to get along with his opponents in Congress to get something accomplished which is rare in Washington DC. If we continue to move down this road of immorality and what can you do for me syndrome we are headed towards the path of the Romans. This is why I intend to read Savages new bestseller "The Enemy Within". Since you love our country like you claim as well as the nature that God provided us you might learn something from this reading. You've been listening to Wolf Blitzer too long. I am not a diehard Bush fan however compared to Kerry theres no choice other than Bush. At least he is grounded in Christian principles (not Gay marriages,Abortion) which are clearly against those principles. As I stated earlier, name me one country that became a great nation from entitlement programs. I intend to take my family to the premier of "The Passion of Christ" as I hope many families do. If we all would follow the principles and learn from what the Bible teaches we would have that kinder gentler nation.
