Albatross.

So Cheney is saying Zarqawi "operating" inside of Iraq justifies the attack? It's a good thing Zarqawi wasn't operating inside of Canada or Germany, we would have had to invade them, too.

Nothing about this shocks me anymore.

Al Queda operates inside Michignaistan. Detroitistan or Deerebornistan is ground zero for oberfurher Cheney's next invasion

Impeach

Cheney.

Because if the Bushwa is impeached and convicted, Deadeye **** will be our president. And if that happens, I have to follow through on a long-ago promise and emigrate to Australia.

To tell ya'll the truth, right when they started saying Saddam was linked to Al Qaeda, I and every other Muslim I knew, pulled out the BS flag. If Osama and Saddam met face to face, they'd probably kill each other. I mean, it would go being down. Two completely different people.

 

[SockPuppet]

Let's make this as simple as possible: The Bush Administration has lied about EVERYTHING. I think if we come to grips with that, it saves a lot of time and post padding.

Oh, believe me I know. But I haven't heard "Saddam and Osama probably hate each other" from non Muslims. Just thought I would share it.

P.S. I'm not insulting your intelligence or anything.

The problem was that in 2003, anyone who dared question this war was called a traitor, unpatriotic, received death threats and generally shouted down.
It still happens, but non-Muslims with a functioning brain who dared speak up and ask the tough questions four years ago were a distinct minority.

Again.....thisis first part of an ABC News Nightline report in 2003 on a 1997 memo of the Bush gang. How to win over a country for war.

Were 1998 Memos a Blueprint for War?
Were Neo-Conservatives’ 1998 Memos a Blueprint for Iraq War?

March 10 - Years before George W. Bush entered the White House, and years before the Sept. 11 attacks set the direction of his presidency, a group of influential neo-conservatives hatched a plan to get Saddam Hussein out of power.

The group, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 1997. Among its supporters were three Republican former officials who were sitting out the Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton: Donald Rumsfeld, **** Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.

In open letters to Clinton and GOP congressional leaders the next year, the group called for "the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power" and a shift toward a more assertive U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the use of force if necessary to unseat Saddam.

And in a report just before the 2000 election that would bring Bush to power, the group predicted that the shift would come about slowly, unless there were "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."

That event came on Sept. 11, 2001. By that time, Cheney was vice president, Rumsfeld was secretary of defense, and Wolfowitz his deputy at the Pentagon.

The next morning — before it was even clear who was behind the attacks — Rumsfeld insisted at a Cabinet meeting that Saddam's Iraq should be "a principal target of the first round of terrorism," according to Bob Woodward's book Bush At War.

What started as a theory in 1997 was now on its way to becoming official U.S. foreign policy.

Some critics of the Bush administration's foreign policy, especially in Europe, have portrayed PNAC as, in the words of Scotland's Sunday Herald, "a secret blueprint for U.S. global domination."

The group was never secret about its aims. In its 1998 open letter to Clinton, the group openly advocated unilateral U.S. action against Iraq because "we can no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War coalition" to enforce the inspections regime.

"The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power," they wrote, foreshadowing the debate currently under way in the United Nations.

Of the 18 people who signed the letter, 10 are now in the Bush administration. As well as Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, they include Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage; John Bolton, who is undersecretary of state for disarmament; and Zalmay Khalilzad, the White House liaison to the Iraqi opposition. Other signatories include William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine, and Richard Perle, chairman of the advisory Defense Science Board.
