US Senate investigates possible exaggeration of Iraq intelligence tinyurl.com AFP - Fri Feb 13, 3:11 PM ET <snips> The US Senate intelligence committee voted to investigate a possible exaggeration of intelligence by the US administration in making its case for war in Iraq. The Republicans had initially wanted to limit the scope of an investigation to gaps and errors in intelligence concerning the evaluation of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. But Democrats pushed for the committee to investigate whether some members of President George W. Bush's administration, including Vice President Dick Cheney, had sought to influence the Central Intelligence Agency.

Don't you just love it when you respond to a post, make an excellent point about the inaccuracy of the post you are responding to, and that individual responds back at you with another article, completely off topic, because he just can't address the point you have made....oh so typical.

We have a lot of National Guard in Iraq right now. All these attacks on the National Guard by the Kerry team and Democrats are ticking off many Americans. * * *

I was there while Bush was here missing drills and out working on campaigns. Our airfield had f104's, not f102's so I doubt Bush was being readied to take over in a pinch. He was back here learning to fly a jet about to be obsoleted, bet that was intentional too.

Sorry Kenneth, you're wrong. CNN just had a blurb about that. It turns out that about 100 Guardsmen were killed in Vietnam in the late 60s. Remember, during that period there were several hundred men dying EVERY WEEK in Vietnam. It was totally understood at that time that, as opposed to the truth being that the "chances of going to 'Nam from the Guard were high," the NG was a very sure way to AVOID serving in Vietnam. It's not like that now but it absolutely was then. RE: "Mr. Breslin should pull his head out of Hanoi Johns a** long enough to Google, as the saying goes. He will find the Nationl Guard represented among the first to go 'Nam. But the 'truth' is an unknown commodity among the self proclaimed elitists of the moronic left. I would wager the chances of going to 'Nam from the Guard were high, as the Guardsmen were already trained in their specialty, and with those drafted did a helluva job until the Kerry's and Hanoi Jane took over." PS, the picture showing Kerry and Hanoi Jane together with a microphone at a podium is now proven to have been a fake. Yes, a fake using digital technology. Did you fall for it?
