Thread Name: BS: Baghdad gets Bushwhacked
Subject: RE: BS: Baghdad gets Bushwhacked
The point you consistently overlook Teribus, in each and every example you cite, is that your interpretation of what Bush said is no better than the analysis we get through the neo-conservative media and pundits. We've heard it all before and remain unconvinced of it's veracity.

Now, the reason we remain unconvinced of it's veracity, or the veracity of the intelligence claims made by the senior Bush administration officials, is because those very claims have been challenged by our own intelligence agencies. We remain unconvinced of the Bush administration claims because we've heard all this doublespeak before, used as justification for all sorts of military adventurism around the world, where the US interventions have been devastating. Not beneficial Teribus, but devastating. The opinion of many intelligent, well informed people would not agree with your contention that the English and American empires have been a force for good, and therein lies the difference between people like you and people like me.
