Bush didn't just lie........

Exactly, so if WMDs were your reason for supporting the war, nothing happened which should have changed that view


You really must be dense. If there were no WMDs, there was no reason to support the war. What happened was we found out there were no WMDs, ergo, no reason to have invaded.........What the hell do we care what kind of government Iraq has? Has it improved?
Hell no, we just wasted 7000+ lives, I guess that doesn't mean anything to you.
 
Too funny coming from you... remind me again why you voted for that clown, Romney?

Why did you vote for the Marxist Obama?

Bwahahaha.....another one that believes Obama was born in Kenya and the world is flat.....bwahaha.

No, Obama lied about being born in Kenya. He was born in Hawaii. He is the original birther, patient zero of the birther movement
Stop kazzing. You cannot prove Obama said he was born in Kenya.

You didn't hear about that? He lied to his publisher who put it in his bio. Unfortunately they thought he was an idiot and wouldn't sell a book and gave it to their most incompetent researcher to verify the bio. Miriam something. The idiot she was she didn't verify it. They were right Obama was a nobody, but the Democratic party latched onto him for being a black sycophant who would follow instructions. He did and now we're in this jam where a lifetime mediocrity is trying to run an economy which he has zero skills, experience or education to do. Sucks, huh? There is no happy ending to this story. But at least it will soon be over

You are truly dense. Why don't you post up some links where you get your information that shows we are in a jam as far as the economy is concerned.......if you can.

Bush vs. Obama on the Economy In 3 Simple Charts UPDATED
 
The left will constantly harp and print bogus grafts and statistics pointing out the failures of Baby Bush like Hover before him, however with 63% participation in the work force of eligable and capable individuals, lowest for the past 40 years, is that something to brag about. I guess the bureau of labor and statistics is wrong? But then again ignored is a better excuse, especially when your mama is running for president. Give us a break not everyone is illiterate, nor gullible.
 
You're the idiot, nowhere did NYCarbineer show that I said that. Hint, I didn't. He's stupid. I said John Kerry voted for the war. As well as Joe Biden. And he's about to vote for another if she wins the nomination.

How stupid are you people?

John Kerry (Pres), Biden (Veep), Hillary (possible Pres) voted for the war. You people can't process that information, and you call other people idiots? Classic


No, you're the idiot. You said "what should we do with the Democrats who voted for the war" and I was explaining to you why they did.....can't you even read? There wasn't one single Democrat that was in on Bush's and Cheney's coercion of the CIA to go along with their reasoning, if there is prove it.

It's bad enough that you blame the politicians that voted for the war when they weren't in on the lies, but to continue doing it after the truth has been exposed makes you the real idiot.


While US war propagandists presented the attack on Iraq as an extension of the “war on terrorism,” it is well known that the Bush administration had drawn up plans to use military force to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein long before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. September 11 was seized on as a pretext for stampeding public opinion to accept US military intervention.

The charge that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction was selected , as Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz later admitted, for “bureaucratic reasons”—i.e., it was the one allegation that the State Department, the Pentagon and the CIA all agreed could provide a serviceable cover for the real motives: seizing vast oil resources and establishing US dominance of the Middle East.


Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq Bush s big lie and the crisis of American imperialism - World Socialist Web Site

Let's see... we know Iraq had WMDs, we know this because we helped him make them, and he used them on Iran, and his own people (the Kurds). We know he continued making them, cause he admitted it bragged about it. We know he still had them cause the numbers did not add up for what was used and destroyed. We know he said he was gonna keep making them and even build nukes to bomb us and Israel, not unlike Iran claiming they are gonna do the same. We found these chemical weapons buried in the sand after the war. We have photos. The evidence of these WMDs has been widely distributed. Yet, here we are with democrats saying... he lied about WMDs Iraq didn't have any WMDs.

So why are the democrats this obtuse?
The WMD made in the late 80's/early 90's were almost all found and/or destroyed by weapons inspectors. The U.N. estimated they had taken care of about 95% of them before being pulled out by Clinton in 1998; at which point, Clinton bombed the shit out of much of the remainder in Operation Desert Fox.

So then why did Democrats lie and say they were there and authorize W to invade when they knew they weren't there?

Also, do you know how wide of access to intelligence the Senate Intelligence Committee has?

The Democrats didn't lie and say they were there.....they just believed doofus George and Cheney, like the rest of the country.

Do you even read the news?

Ah, so Democrats are just stupid and gullible. You could be right on that

Hell no, we just wasted 7000+ lives, I guess that doesn't mean anything to you.

So seriously, you're worried about physical WMDs, you are not worried about Hussein being a threat. The idiocy that is the left
 
Why did you vote for the Marxist Obama?

Bwahahaha.....another one that believes Obama was born in Kenya and the world is flat.....bwahaha.

Bush vs. Obama on the Economy In 3 Simple Charts UPDATED

I like it. If you can't dazzle them with your wit...
 
These right wingers are such nitwits. The lone Republican who didn't vote for the war said at the time he reviewed the documents provided and he said the case was, in his word, "WEAK". He said the trillions could have been spent on infrastructure, health care, education and domestic needs. The lone Republican who voted against the war called it the Republican's war. He said senators at the time did not do their homework on what Bush provided and he did and he studied the evidence at the CIA headquarters. WEAK.

former head of CIA bush lied - Google Search

One of Cheney's best scams was to provide newspapers with reports and then claim the reports came from the newspapers.

These right wingers are so without integrity and so desperate, instead of actually proving the Bush Administration was telling the truth, they keep screaming "Prove they were lying" when there is so much evidence supporting the claim they were lying and none supporting the claim they were telling the truth.

Despicable.
 
Silly Ds...they claim W sucks and Bo's great...and yet the reality clearly indicates they are brothers doing the bidding of the oligarchy.

Prove your claim he lied to his publisher......

.... oh, wait ... you can't, you're just kazzing again. Nevermind.
 
They're such idiots. The Congressmen (both Senators and Representatives) who voted for the war were doing it because they believed GW's/Cheney's lies....like most Americans....you can't blame them for voting for the war, none of us wanted Saddam to be able to build a nuclear weapon......that doesn't put them in the same category as criminals Bush and Cheney, who knew better. Shows just how smart some conservatives are when they make that comparison.

You're the idiot, nowhere did NYCarbineer show that I said that. Hint, I didn't. He's stupid. I said John Kerry voted for the war. As well as Joe Biden. And he's about to vote for another if she wins the nomination.

Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq Bush s big lie and the crisis of American imperialism - World Socialist Web Site

Gotcha, Trixie,

W is an evil genius. He was in the Oval Office less than 9 months when 9/11 happened. The Democrats 8 years before that. Democrats including John Fing Kerry were all over the Senate Intelligence committee which you apparently don't know what they do and the broad access to intelligence they have. He proceeded to con the Democrats, UN, French, Russians and Germans into thinking Hussein had WMDs, which he had repeatedly used before.

Of course it's my partisanship that makes me hold both sides accountable for what they did and your rigid adherence to a life following strict logic and impartiality that makes you realize Republicans are demonic aliens from another galaxy and Democrats pure as the driven snow full of love for their fellow man and incapable of lying even to save their own lives.

One question, what's your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid? I'm guessing cherry. Am I right?

:booze:
Stop kazzing. You were already shown that France, Germany, Russia and China did not believe Hussein had WMD
That isn't what they said, none of them said Hussein does not have WMDs
Stop kazzing .... they said they had no evidence he had WMD. Compared to your bullshit that they believed he did have WMD.
 
No, you're the idiot. You said "what should we do with the Democrats who voted for the war" and I was explaining to you why they did.....can't you even read? There wasn't one single Democrat that was in on Bush's and Cheney's coercion of the CIA to go along with their reasoning, if there is prove it.

Bush admitted he didn't have any WMD's.

You are such a liar, he did not
Stop kazzing...

"Now look, part of the reason we went into Iraq was -- the main reason we went into Iraq, at the time, was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn't, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction." - George Bush, 8.21.2006

Exactly, so if WMDs were your reason for supporting the war, nothing happened which should have changed that view. You know, except you being a partisan hack who doesn't care about anything else but your party winning over truth and your country. Ooooooohhhhhhhhh.......
It's kind of early for you to be so drunk. The main reason for invading turned out to be bullshit ... you've got to be completely brain-dead to think of that as "nothing happened."
 
Silly Ds...they claim W sucks and Bo's great...and yet the reality clearly indicates they are brothers doing the bidding of the oligarchy.
Give examples. Don't just make the claim. Makes you look like an idiot Republican.
Your requiring proof only proves how out of touch you are...and I have not been an R since the 80s, when I was uninformed like you, believing the two parties are different.

Today's events would be a good example how BO and W are blood brothers. W would no doubt love Obamatrade just as Big Ears does.
 
No, you're the idiot. You said "what should we do with the Democrats who voted for the war" and I was explaining to you why they did.....can't you even read?

A year after 9.11 and 9 months after the CIA debunked the Atta in Prague rumor...



September 8, 2002
Vice President Dick Cheney speaks with Tim Russert on NBC News’ Meet the Press
[link to source]

2003.03.16_cheney.mod.jpg
VICE PRES. CHENEY: We spent time looking at that relationship between Iraq, on the one hand, and the al-Qaeda organization on the other. And there has been reporting that suggests that there have been a number of contacts over the years. We've seen in connection with the hijackers, of course, Mohamed Atta, who was the lead hijacker, did apparently travel to Prague on a number of occasions. And on at least one occasion, we have reporting that places him in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence official a few months before the attack on the World Trade Center...

Mr. RUSSERT: What does the CIA say about that? Is it credible?

VICE PRES. CHENEY: It's credible. But, you know, I think a way to put it would be it's unconfirmed at this point.

That is a bald-faced lie. Atta did not "apparently travel to Prague." Not being in Prague means he did not meet there with senior Iraqi officials. The CIA did not say the story was credible, the CIA in fact informed the Bush administration 9 months earlier the story was not true. And Chaney was lying when he said the story was "unconfirmed at this point." The story was indeed confirmed .... confirmed by the CIA to be bullshit.
You are still not reading it correctly. The guy did travel to Prague on a number of occasions. That is the first statement. There are facts that back that up. Note he did not say that any of those known trips had anything to do with anything other than travel.

Now we go to the next statement where he says on at least one occasion,... we have reporting that places him with the Iraqui guy. This is widely known, that there was a report of it happening. Do you deny that there was a report of it happening? The report came from officials of an ally. Are you saying we should state that reports from our allies are not "credible?" Are you saying we should call our allies liars, call out our allies as full of "bullshit?" He then follows with it's unconfirmed, as it remains... unconfirmed. Unconfirmed means it is not confirmed.

But gratz on learning how to read dates and dropping your story about my links being just about something in 2004. I guess you could say your reports were unconfirmed. Or would you say complete bullshit?

Again, I find it amazing that even after it was WIDELY KNOWN that it was UNCONFIRMED ... that you continued to believe that SADDAM WAS BEHIND 911.
Can you take Cheney's dick out of your mouth long enough to realize when Cheney said that the report was "credible," that was a lie? The claim that Atta met with Iraqi officials in Prague was not credible in September, 2002. The CIA determined that claim was false in December, 2001 and notified the Bush administration of their findings.

When Cheney said it was "unconfirmed, " that was a lie. It was confirmed -- confirmed to be false. It was a different person with a similar name who may have met with an Iraqi official in Prague and the CIA was able to determine through phone records that the hijacker Atta was inside the U.S. during the time of that purported meeting.

You may now resume your "job."
What is with your fascination with Cheney's dick and my mouth? Are you jacking off or something? Or just recognizing that you've lost the argument?

Your trying to redefine words to take on different meanings out of context. For example, your trying to define unconfirmed as meaning confirmed. Your full of shit.
That doesn't fascinate me. I'm just trying to help you think more clearly because you're not making sense. I took nothing out of context. In December, 2001, the Bush administration was informed by the CIA that hijacker Atta did not meet with Iraqi officials in Prague. It was confirmed there was no meeting.

Some 9 months later, Cheney, who apparently spurred the CIA investigation into the purported meeting, went on national television and claims the report was credible. It wasn't and the Bush administration knew it wasn't. He also claimed the report wasn't confirmed. It was confirmed to be false and the Bush administration knew that too.
Your inability to understand the difference between unconfirmed credible reports and confirmed credible reports is dully noted.
You're too funny. Retarded, but funny...

That report was not credible. It was investigated by the CIA and deemed inaccurate. The Bush administration was informed of this 9 months prior to Cheney claiming the CIA found the report to be credible.
 
Did you see where W took a $100,000 speaking fee from a homeless shelter. Admittedly, it was ill-advised to offer that kind of a fee to anyone. But as an ex-president, you would think that Bush would speak for free at such an event. Compassionate conservative, my ASS!
Link?
I dont see you complaining about Bill Clinton's half million dollar speaking fees in Kazakhstan, you little hypocrite.

If Bill Clinton took a six figure sum of money (or ANY money, for that matter) to speak at a homeless shelter, I'd criticize him six ways to Sunday. There's no doubt in my mind that you would to. But I guess you don't see a problem with it if Bush does it. Know what that makes you?
OK so you pulled that story out of your ass. Got it.
I heard Bill Clinton got 200,000 for speaking at a whorehouse.
Yes - but how much did he spend there ?
 
Why did you vote for the Marxist Obama?

Bwahahaha.....another one that believes Obama was born in Kenya and the world is flat.....bwahaha.

No, Obama lied about being born in Kenya. He was born in Hawaii. He is the original birther, patient zero of the birther movement
Stop kazzing. You cannot prove Obama said he was born in Kenya.

You didn't hear about that? He lied to his publisher who put it in his bio. Unfortunately they thought he was an idiot and wouldn't sell a book and gave it to their most incompetent researcher to verify the bio. Miriam something. The idiot she was she didn't verify it. They were right Obama was a nobody, but the Democratic party latched onto him for being a black sycophant who would follow instructions. He did and now we're in this jam where a lifetime mediocrity is trying to run an economy which he has zero skills, experience or education to do. Sucks, huh? There is no happy ending to this story. But at least it will soon be over
Prove your claim he lied to his publisher......

.... oh, wait ... you can't, you're just kazzing again. Nevermind.









 
As with the Reagan administration (and with many of the same people behind the scenes), the purpose of the Bushleague was to propel America into a situation that would leave succeeding administrations, and even generations, little if any choice. The policies establish by the clique would have to be pursued.

:thup::udaman::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
this is the best post on this thread.Reagan is worshipped by the CIA controlled media because he was the president who got the ball rolling for the destruction of america that each president since then has continued and expanded upon.

Laugh all you want....but I don't see you refuting it........Bwahahaha!

Here's more reasons why your idol is only good in your Bubbaland.

  • Reagan was a serial tax raiser. As governor of California, Reagan “signed into law the largest tax increase in the history of any state up till then.” Meanwhile, state spending nearly doubled.
  • Reagan nearly tripled the federal budget deficit. During the Reagan years, the debt increased to nearly $3 trillion, “roughly three times as much as the first 80 years of the century had done altogether.”
  • Unemployment soared after Reagan’s 1981 tax cuts. Unemployment jumped to 10.8 percent after Reagan enacted his much-touted tax cut, and it took years for the rate to get back down to its previous level. Meanwhile, income inequality exploded.
  • Reagan grew the size of the federal government tremendously. Reagan promised “to move boldly, decisively, and quickly to control the runaway growth of federal spending,” but federal spending “ballooned” under Reagan. He bailed out Social Security in 1983 after attempting to privatize it, and set up a progressive taxation system to keep it funded into the future.
  • Reagan did little to fight a woman’s right to chose. As governor of California in 1967, Reagan signed a bill to liberalize the state’s abortion laws that “resulted in more than a million abortions.”
  • Reagan was a “bellicose peacenik.” He wrote in his memoirs that “[m]y dream…became a world free of nuclear weapons.”
  • Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants. Reagan signed into law a bill that made any immigrant who had entered the country before 1982 eligible for amnesty.
  • Reagan illegally funneled weapons to Iran. Reagan and other senior U.S. officials secretly sold arms to officials in Iran, which was subject to a an arms embargo at the time, in exchange for American hostages. Some funds from the illegal arms sales also went to fund anti-Communist rebels in Nicaragua — something Congress had already prohibited the administration from doing.
  • Reagan vetoed a comprehensive anti-Apartheid act. which placed sanctions on South Africa and cut off all American trade with the country. Reagan’s veto was overridden by the Republican-controlled Senate.
  • Reagan helped create the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. Reagan fought a proxy war with the Soviet Union by training, arming, equipping, and funding Islamist mujahidin fighters in Afghanistan. Reagan funneled billions of dollars, along with top-secret intelligence and sophisticated weaponry to these fighters through the Pakistani intelligence service. The Talbian and Osama Bin Laden — a prominent mujahidin commander — emerged from these mujahidin groups Reagan helped create, and U.S. policy towards Pakistan remains strained because of the intelligence services’ close relations to these fighters.
