"Some Democrats who voted to authorize the use of force are now rewriting the past," Bush said. "They're playing politics with this issue and they are sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy. That is irresponsible."

Good job unifying!

Maybe Bush just got sick and tired of the Democrats not accepting his outreach. He's been trying to unify for the past 5 years. Democrats just keep bitching about stuff that isn't true.

One time I was at Friendly's and I wanted a chocolate cone, but then I changed my mind and wanted a Reese's Pieces Sundae. The guy behind the counter got so mad when I rewrote ice cream history and got all in my face for sending mixed signals to Baskin Robbins and the crew in the kitchen.

When you are at friendlys you have to order "the wizard" there is no other ice cream.

You still think they have WMDs??

The fucking Friendly's menu tells me they have the Apple Cobler Sundae so I get excited every time I go. But when I go to order it the waitress bitch is always like "We just ran out."

In between the spectrum of democrat reality and republican reality I honestly believe that Saddam was in the middle bracket, heading more towards the republican reality every chance he got.

democrats should LOVE bush... I mean look at all the stuff he's done:
-Added entire new branches of government
-Increased Government spending
-Centeralised the federal government and stripped the states rights

I mean, come on!! This is the kind of stuff that democrats think of when they jerk off.

Not only that, but he spends money like a socialist! He's increased poverty entitlements by at least 30 percent, education by 50 percent, and pell grants by 30 percent(?). And they have the balls to say that Bush HATES the poor?!?!

Why is it every time W says he'll do something, then either fails or goes back on his word 100%, someone has to rush in and make an excuse for him?

He said he's get the dems and GOP to agree and be as one, and they haven't. He didn't say "Hey guys, can you work together?" He said he'd unify, plain and simple. Didn't state under what circumstances.

He said he'd find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and he didn't.

He made a plan to eradicate terrorism (which is much like trying to exterminate "awesome" or "sleepiness"...how the fuck are you going to eliminate something that is loose in it's definition?) and of course that's never going to see the light of day.

At this point I feel like he could pull out his dick and start raping a chinese baby on national TV and still someone would defend his actions.

wow, why a chinese baby though

Georgey don't like China much these days.

I don't seem to recall him saying that he would actually eradicate it. His idea was always marginalizing it so much that it was completely useless and that there would be a worldwide rejection of it.

Also, if you say you're going to be a uniter, I don't think anyone's going to call you a bullshitter if the other side you're going to try to unite with is constantly throwing baseless allegations at you about lying, etc.

woops, forgot to put my name in there

they'll call you a bullshitter if you start attacking one of the sides you want to unite, yes. See quote above.

Oh, so he's really not trying to pack the court with christian goofballs who want to overturn Roe?

And he really didn't just give the credit card companies a giant hand job by completely emasculating Chapter 7 protection?

I could go on but I'm not going to write a novel.

You can't be serous though. "stuff that isn't true"???? Gimme a fucking break, kid.

heh-heh

it's no use, Josh.
They have their minds made up about how the world works.

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:

I say it's about fucking time. See quotes above.

Christian fundamentalists on the court? Did you know that Alito upheld abortion statutes that didn't involve the basis of Roe V. Wade and that John Roberts, as an attorney, argued on behalf of gay rights?

Damnit, I forgot my name again.

And on the issue of lying through his teeth about WMD's, I could also go on and on and on and on and on proving thathe didn't lie, but I'm not going to write a novel either.

Now, people say that, after 6 months of being able to clean up and after bribing UN weapons inspectors, the fact that he DID try to get uranium from Niger, and the fact that entire buildings have disappeared before the invasion, the fact that there's no actual nuke heads found (try finding the last beer keg in California, to get the idea of what that's like) somehow means that the exact opposite is true, and that Saddam had absolutely nothing happening in his country. I find it hilarious that people will tout this argument, then get pissed off at Christian Fascists who believe that, since we haven't found the missing link to prove that WE evolved from monkeys, that proves that God not only exists, but also created us. That's pretty hypocritical.

I'm not sure I follow you pat

You're saying it makes sense that the president said we have absolute proof beyond even the slightest shadow of a doubt -- incredibly tangible, real, and appropriate evidence that anyone else would believe the same way we do -- that Sadam has WMD, and then we show up and WOOPS! not even a trace of them having ever been there or ever having been transported to or from there... You're saying that's not deception or lying?

Conservatives are the cancer killing democracy. I love how they say folks on the left manipulate more, when clearly they have the track record of abusing power like this for years and years and years. Simply put they're the biggest liars and bullshit artists going, and are responsible for destroying the Golden Age of America more than anything else. Still they'll deny it, still they're to scared to admit it, still they keep making things worse.
I love how they constantly change reasoning of actions, he's not a hawk - he's a uniter, he's not a liar - he has more integrity than clinton, he's not a fuck up - he's a born again christian or whatever. The sad part is that they live inside the fictional reality and are too sheep like to stand up for themselves and the country.

and also he has not been able to back up why he made those claims in the first place? And we overstepped UN due-process and policies to do this...that's not even the least bit unnerving?

still pat, you need to clarify the actions of the president when he said he'd "unify" but has done nothing but pit each side against each.

wow, this is just sad...you surprise me Pat

oh course it's not unnerving, conservatives only care about money and themselves, it doesn't matter that Bush is assaulting the American people daily with lies, misinformation etc...nothing matters to them except money and heaven.

Josh_Martin said:

Josh_Martin said:

I know, right? If you can go on and on to prove that Iraq was full of WMDs, go right ahead! The fact is that the failure to turn up WMDs DOES prove that, even if Saddam did have some WMDs, the administration exaggerated and blatantly lied in their claims that they knew exactly where to find the WMDs. It's not like they said "We think there are WMDs are and we're going to find them even if it takes us a few years." Their claim was more along the lines of "We know they have WMDs and exactly where we are, and as soon as the formality of a short military operation is complete, we will have our hands on all these materials."

Some of your accusations are just ridiculous. You want to criticize the intelligence, fine. I don't care. I'm not saying that because you can't prove without a shadow of a doubt that Saddam was innocent proves that he was completely guilty. I'm just not convinced that Saddam was anywhere near innocent on any crimes he was accused of, given the evidence from the past 12 years and his noncompliance with the UN leading up to March 2003. Will someone tell me where Bush said that they have the exact coordinates of stockpiles? You know, those things can be MOVED. If Bush said he'd find them in a specific part of the country, then that's stupid even from a pro-war stance.

Do I really have to pull up quotes from UN weapons inspectors? Hell, the UN inspectors believed that Salman Pak was a terrorist training ground, yet Bush didn't include that in the final resolution in Congress. This whole notion that Democrats who are against the war didn't have the same intelligence are ignoring the fact that the intel given to Bush was even more unnerving than what Congress had.

I also can't believe that it's still being argued that Bush sidestepped the UN. I bet none of you even knew that Bush not only went to the UN, but he also went to all the Arab countries offering a peaceful exile for Saddam. Nobody wanted it. Combine that with the fact that all the members on the UN security council who voted against invading (but they signed on resolution 1441, interestingly) were in Saddam's pocket (what war for what oil, now?), and the fact people still believe that Bush held up his proverbial middle finger to the rest of the world because he wanted nothing more than to kill people becomes more and more ridiculous.

By the way, how many Democrat bills has Bush vetoed? Anyone care to give me a number? No need, I already know the answer.

Look, I'm no Bush fanboy, but the more you level these kind of accusations against him, the more people like me feel obliged to defend him, and the less we have a chance to actually criticize him for real things done wrong. I'm guessing that if we didn't have to spend so much time going back to Iraq (already investigated by three independent commissions), we'd have spotted things like the FEMA debacle a mile away. Bush didn't win the election; Kerry lost.

By the way, if you actually paid attention to who Harriet Miers was, you'd realize that she was just unqualified in constitutional law, as everyone on the Judiciary Committee, including Democrats, easily saw.

PatMeebles said:

Great point. So riddle me this: why didn't the president of the united states of america see that?


also has it occured to Bush that having all those investments in country several thousand miles away has made it so we can not properly focus money, military, and attention on our own country?

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:

We can still do that. We have 60% of national guard strength, which was more than enough for NO post-Katrina.

I'd also like to make the point that Harriet Miers was highly recommended by Democrats. Maybe Bush nominated her so that, I don't know, the two parties would unite to support her. But, as nice a lady she was, she was just completely unqualified for the position.

umm republicians tore her to shit as well.

Right, because she was unqualified. Everyone seems to think that Republicans only want Pat Robertson on the Supreme Court. But Ginsberg was approved almost unanimously, because she was still qualified. Miers was just a bad pick, recommended by the Democrats.

wow man, just fucking wow

Life is one big chess game. Sometimes the easiest moves of the moment will lead to eventual demise. Haha Bush, Your lies are streaming out like the juice of a crushed apple. Democrats will not do any better. Lets just watch and see...

I guess the problem I'm seeing here is the assumption that pointing out where Bush is an asshole somehow implies support for Democrats. There are plenty of Democrats that would've done more or less the same thing as Bush has, given the right inducement, and possibly even fucked it up as badly. And I'd be just as critical of them as I am of the curent gang of morons. But they're who we've got to blame at the moment, we have to wait a year or two before we can have somebody else to fuck it up for the rest of us.

DestroyYouAlot said:

oh I agree. But check it: Who was the "worthy" candidate in the last presidential election? Answer: No one as far as I can tell.

No one?

Abortion and Gay Marriage are the two biggest non-issues of all time. Republicans won't outright ban either of them because they'll lose the two things they use to snag Christian voters (I don't think tax breaks for the wealthy carry as much weight for Christians as who puts their dick where) If Democrats had power they wouldn't make Abortion and Gay Marriage unamendable articles in the Constitution because they'd lose the Gay and Women's vote.

You know what would be awesome, if people got as up in arms about healthcare or working conditions as they do about two guys fucking.

my two big issues right now are:

1) Cheap, affordable, effective health care
2) Cheap, affordable, clean housing conditions

where the fuck are either of these?

They need to lower the age of consent, like in half.

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:

Health care is being ravaged by faulty lawsuits. If you look at statistics from each state, the states that put a cap on NON-economic damages (money not for reimbursement) have a lot more doctors per x population number (I forget what it is exactly). More doctors = lower costs in a competitive enviroment.

Damnit, I keep forgetting to put my name when I post at school.

By the way, I'm pro-gay marriage and pretty pro-choice (the safe, but rare category). Even my friends who are Christian and against these things say that we need to set aside the social issues until after we're done with getting a good economic policy and foreign policy.

i just wanna bring one thing up...sure i dont think saddam had wmd's but he did gas like a crazy number of kurds and for that he deserved to be taken from power.but i think bush went about it all wrong....i still think bush is a douche but i support the ousting of his regime

the whole notion about Saddam being a horrilbe injustice to the world is totally exagerated, don't get me wrong he's nasty and what not but there are worse people out there. it's not like we've never been friends with him, back during ronnie's term the republicans loved saddam, sold him weapons etc etc, i blame them for getting us involved in this matter.
if the republicans are so concerned about bringing justice to people being oppressed or whatever, why aren't we doing anything about North Korea??? that dude has a legimate Nuclear program and he's incredible brutal on everyone, lying about the famine that killed thousands, executing anyone who leaves NK, convincing the citizens they live in paradise so on and so forth.
If only the right could have more direction and a little less manipulation they could gain some respect but their behavior in general is appaling. what ever happened to the promises of good leadership??? corruption in washington is rampant, it's nothing new, but it's simply out of hand and it has nothing to do with bill clinton getting a blow job.

BSV said:

While North Korea is bad, Saddam was even worse. And right now, North Korea doesn't want any real trouble because they'd get China and Russia involved. But back to Saddam, he also starved his people, but he also invaded another country and used chemical and bio weapons in the past against his own people, which NK has not.

And to the whole "we were friends with him in the past." Yeah, I agree that's pretty fucked up. Washington was full of people who relied more on realism than idealism. However, while we sold him weapons, we never sold him nuclear reactors (which the French did) or heavy cache's of weapons (which the Russians did). We sold him dual use chemicals, which is still pretty fucked up. However, if you claim that by selling dual use chemicals, we sold Saddam chemical weapons, then you must also claim that the dual use chemicals we've found in Iraq so far (that's what the "insecticide" was) are also chemical weapons.

Damnit, I forgot my name again!

Pat Meebles is a dumbass said:

Sounds like you've been indulging in some "dual use chemicals", sir.

BornSoVile said:

Buck fush....lying,greedy, dicksucking puppet.

I doubt that Saddam was worse. With the amount of information being with held from us, there is no telling, but from what i've read about NK I believe it's alot worse.

Kim Jong Il doesn't necessarily kill anyone who tries to leave NK, he just sends them to one of the hundreds of concentration camps in NK where prisoners are routinely used as guinea pigs for chemical weapons.

The idea that Saddam was worse than Kim Jong Il is absolutely ludicrous. Look at the threats posed by the two at the beginning of the Iraq War

Saddam
-Tortures his own people
-Starves his own people
-No chemical weapons
-No nuclear weapons
-A crippled military (remember the fight the vaunted Republican Guard put up?) Reduced from 7 armored division to 1 and 20 infantry divisions reduced to 17, no fly zones etc.
-Contained by his neighbors, incapable of attacking Kuwait

Kim Jong Il
-Tortures his own people and supports his economy with a massive labor camp network
-Starves his own people
-Has chemical weapons, testing them to improve their effectiveness
-Is developing nuclear weapons, has ICBMs
-Commands the fifth largest military in the world (over 1,000,000 troops)99 divisions to be exact, all ready to attack South Korea
-Faces opposition from 36,000 US and 685,000 South Korean troops

That's completely different than "you'll find them at x latitude and y longitude"

I'll let Lawrence Wilkinson at the State Department under Powell make this next point.

"I can’t tell you why the French, the Germans, the Brits, and us thought that most of the material, if not all of it, that we presented at the UN on 5 February 2003 was the truth. I can’t. I’ve wrestled with it. [But] when you see a satellite photograph of all the signs of the chemical-weapons ASP—Ammunition Supply Point—with chemical weapons, and you match all those signs with your matrix on what should show a chemical ASP, and they’re there, you have to conclude that it’s a chemical ASP, especially when you see the next satellite photograph which shows the UN inspectors wheeling in their white vehicles with black markings on them to that same ASP, and everything is changed, everything is clean. . . . But George [Tenet] was convinced, John McLaughlin [Tenet’s deputy] was convinced, that what we were presented [for Powell’s UN speech] was accurate."

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

I forgot to mention that there was no regional power (such as Israel or Iran in Iraq's case) that would have opposed North Korea's power play (China is one of the DPRK's few supporters on the international level and would probably use the chaos created by a DPRK invasion of South Korea and Japan to occupy Taiwan, while Russia would probably remain neutral) That leaves the South Korean and US forces as the only opposition to the DPRK in the region (Japan's post-World War II constitution made it illegal for their military to be anything more than a small defense force). That's clearly a much larger threat to global security than a contained and weak Iraq.

While that's certainly a reasonable claim, I disagree, because bringing the war to China's doorsteps is probably in the least of China's desires.

PatMeebles said:

I don't think a war was needed in North Korea. I just think that rather than focusing on Iraq the US should have put most of those troops in Korea and at least slung a cruise missile or two at North Korea just to put Kim Jong Il in his place. As it is now we're total pushovers and the little prick knows he can say and do whatever the fuck he feels like without worrying about retaliation.

Well, I'm going to agree with the "saying" part, but not with the "doing." Our nuclear arsenal would completely wipe him out.

On the doing part, the North Korean military is constantly pulling divisions up to the DMZ just to flex their muscles while the South Koreans and US troops can only watch. Bringing in more troops and firing on North Korean divisions when they get cute like that would go a long way in reigning Kim Jong Il in and making him more responsive to international pressure.

the Tax cuts were extended and, I believe, further protected yesterday. fuckin ridiculous. yeah, lets cut taxes AND slash spending on programs that help the neediest Americans...if you think the cuts are to help the middle and lower classes, you're as dumb as Bush, Inc. thinks you are.

it's too early for this bull shit

wade said:


Actually, while Bush has cut taxes (which is why the defecit is down by 100 billion, by the way), he's increased spending, especially on poverty entitlements (somewhere in the 30% range) and education (somewhere in the 50% range).

By the way, by cutting taxes, he opened up the market to be able to create more jobs, which it's created twice as many as were lost from 9/11 and the recession. And, before you say "but they're all McDonald's chefs," 80% of those created jobs were in the middle and higher tax brackets.

my mom says that liberals are the lying scum of the earth that resort to name calling when they dont get their way i have to agree with her because i always see them on tv name calling and i think that they are acting just like immatuer children. im glad he won the race now i get to hear you all cry a lot about it LOL!!!

While not directly attributed to Bush, before the war began Rumsfeld said "We know exactly where the weapons of mass destruction are hidden."

That sounds an awful lot like "wmds are at x latitude and y longitude"

As for the Bush increasing the percentage of Pell grants. Yes he did increase the amount of Pell grants awarded, but did not fund them. So while 30% more people are recieving Pell Grants the amount awarded is much smaller.

The eductation funding increases are pretty invalid as most of it goes to fund testing and is tied directly to a school's performance on standardized tests. The schools which need the funding the most do not recieve it because of their subpar performance on the tests, while the schools which do not need the funding reap the benefits. Bush might be spending 50% more on education, but the quality of education gap cannot be solved by throwing more money at and drilling students.

Bush is spending more on poverty entitlements because the poverty rate is growing under his administration.

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

Well, what Rumsfeld said was stupid, as if he was expecting to find them there after possibly more than a year of preparationg for Saddam to hide his stuff. But, considering what Wilkenson (I still don't know how to properly spell his name) said, to say they have coordinates of stuff doesn't surprise me.

The poverty rate grew because of the sharp increase in uneducated, poor illlegal immigrants. I do fault Bush for that.

Oh, and Bush, to the best of my knowledge, actually has increased Pell Grant funding, not just how many people get it. If not, he, at the very least, tried to get the increases passed through congress.

rewriting the past? you've gotta be fucking kidding me...oh wait, why did we supposedly invade Iraq originally? they had something to do with 9/11 right? no, no, that wasn't true at all...then it was, they've got weapons of mass destruction (just like us, Iran, Pakistan, etc...)...but wait, no they didn't, scratch that...let's see..oh yeah, now we're there to "spread Democracy" you know, something we say we have here, but really don't. So who's trying to "rewrite history"? playing politics? being irresponsible? the Bush administration wrote the fucking book on that...can't we just burn them at the stake already?

I can't wait until we start nuking China in 10 years because they'll be using the same disgusting amount of oil we hog up, and the U.S. will be competing with them to rape the last remaining drops from the earth...things to look forward to.
