Subject: RE: BS: Bush Iraq Propaganda Campaign
From Arne:

"It does concern me that you think that a 'paraphrase' is necessary when the actual words are at hand."

Interesting statement that, coming from you Arne. If either yourself or Ron had quoted the whole conversation in the first place then we wouldn't be having this discussion, due to the fact that you would have unable to make your point.

By the way Arne maybe you can tell me, as you seem to think it important, at the time in question, was it compulsory on joining the National Guard or Air National Guard to volunteer for service overseas. Because the old adage in the British Forces as any old squaddie will tell you is "Never volunteer". Are you saying that everyone else volunteered? And that Lt. G.W. Bush was the only one that didn't. Are you saying that having far more entitlement points than required for his six year service committment that Lt. G. W. Bush was the only Officer in the US ANG who was discharged a few months early? Somehow I think we both know that the answers to both those questions are no - lots of people who joined the National Guard and Air National Guard and Coast Guard ticked the box not to volunteer for overseas service - And I believe that as many as possible were granted early honourable discharge papers if they had the requisite number of points.

Now where is your example of a clear statement from the US Administration stating that Saddam Hussein was involved with the 911 attacks?

You seem a little quiet Arne - cat got yer tongue??
