"Well, T, I guess if yer quoting Slick Willie then you certainly have damaged your case beyond repair" - Bobert

How's that then Bobert??

Now what was it that you and Spaw reckoned - It was Bush's idea, just off the top of his head to invade Iraq, because he wanted a war.

And Bobert's own:

" who comes up with these lists of rougue states??? Bush and his buddies, tha's who."

"Rogue States" Bobert?? Now you tell me who coined the term, wasn't George W. Bush was it now Bobert? The term had been used to identify Iraq three years before GWB came to power.

As for the lists of "rogue states" Bobert, note "lists" plural Bobert because there were two independently created lists, generated by the Intelligence and Security Agencies of the United States of America and by the Congressional Joint House Committee on Security. I think the running order for candidates to fulfill the role of "rogue state" went something like:

1. Iraq
2. Iran
3. North Korea
4. Libya
5. Syria

Who was it assembled the equation of "rogue state" + WMD + terrorist group = Greatest potential threat Bobert?? That wasn't GWB either was it?? Again all laid out three years before George W. Bush became President of the United States of America.

Who was it way back in February 1998, described the components of that threat equation as representing "an evil axis" Bobert?? It wasn't George W. Bush now was it Bobert.

"The only minor difference is that I don't believe we had any reason other than a Dubya erection to go to war with Iraq in the first place. Perhaps with some additional consideration you two will also agree with me on that point." - Catspaw49

Dealing with the first sentence there Spaw, considering the circumstances the US found itself in the wake of the attacks of 9/11 and the evidence available at the time, there was no way that it would have gone down differently irrespective of who had been President of the USA. As for your second sentence, very little chance because your contention is based on the falsehood that GWB came into office intent on starting a war with Iraq - He didn't.

Greg F your eminent lawyer's book is so convincing that not one of the 50 State Attorney Generals he appeals to has brought any action against GWB for murder and if they ain't buying into it then neither am I. And quite frankly looking at what Vincent Bugliosi puts forward as examples of "evidence" I am not at all surprised.
