Bush's Favorability Rises, Kerry Slips

"Fifty-seven percent of the poll's respondents said they have a favorable opinion of Bush, compared with 52 percent who said they did in a Jan. 29-Feb. 5 survey conducted as Kerry was sweeping Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses.

Kerry's favorable rating has slipped to 53 percent from 63 percent at the end of January, according to the poll."

Nice. Now the GOP needs to increase the pressure of this noose around the Democrats' necks! Hit them hard on their 8 year failure and, most importantly, on politicizing the commission in order to obscure that failure, rather than joining with the President to stop America's enemies.

You deliberately misrepresented what Powell said and you were caught.

Explain exactly what is "concrete evidence"? I would venture to say that if it were possible for it to exist, you would claim it is fabricated.

Oh , and this is good, from the article you posted, If there is no evidence linking Al Qaeda and Iraq, why does the article say:

intelligence had revealed that Zarqawi and members of al-Qaida had set up a weapons lab at Kirma, in northern Iraq, producing deadly ricin and cyanide.

And now you are criticizing Bush, for waiting to build a coalition before attacking Iraq. Goodness man, you should not assume that everyone is as dense as you are.

So you you are saying that the Clinton Administration blew up the only phamecuetical plant in the Sudan - without concrete evidence?

August 27,1998 - "Iraq may have used Sudan as a cover to obtain illegal chemical weapons materiel beyond the scrutiny of U.N. weapons inspectors, the State Department said Wednesday."

"The two countries established very close relations after the Persian Gulf War in 1991, and "we believe there were links between the Sudanese and Iraq on this issue," said James Foley, the department's deputy spokesman...Hundreds of Iraqi experts have worked in Sudan since the war, including in the manufacture of munitions, Foley said. "We have evidence of ties between Sudan's chemical weapons aspirations, the Shifa facility and other chemical weapons actors," he said.

" ...The conclusion about the Iraq connection was based, in part, on intelligence interceptions of telephone calls, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

Foley described the plant Wednesday as part of a "military-industrial complex" operated by Islamic militant financier Osama bin Laden"

re:"There has never been any concrete evidence linking Iraq to Al Qaeda. All that we have seen is innuendo, doublespeak, disinformation and sheer dishonesty."
