Subject: RE: BS: Why Iraq Was a Mistake, Teribus...
you have got to be as thick as pig shit without any of its usefulness
Ah, a hit, a palpable hit!
When someone resorts to gutter insults it's a good sign that their fund of argument is pretty well bankrupt.
But to continue with the game: As you well know, Teribus, the process of impeachment is not simply a matter of concerned citizens signing a chitty to request it.
As for your second point there are lies of evasion, ommission, ellision and inference as well as the bald and straightforward telling of untruths. You, of all people, should be aware of those distinctions!
At no point did the Bush administration ever stand up and counter the mood music orchestrated by the spinners in the West Wing; a spin which is reflected in innumerable opinion polls which showed that most Americans believed Saddam Hussein to have had a hand in the events of November 11 2001.
And why not?
Because it suited the administration very well to have the population believe that about the Iraq misadventure, even when the administration itself knew at the time that such a link was highly improbable. The invasion had been high on the political agenda long before 9/11, and the more pretexts the better, however bogus.
I do wonder if you are able to accept that a conservative Western government is capable of doing wrong, Teribus. You really are the sort of useful idiot who banged on about the 'liberal conspiracy' and the 'real truth' about the Gulf of Tonkin incident long after it had been shown to be a sham.
You're almost worthy of a booth in a sideshow of fantasists - "Roll up, roll up; come and see the amazing proctocephalic seer; a man who will try to persuade you that black is white, that up is down and that the earth is flat. It's Terry the human sponge - no matter how much you throw at him, he soaks it up, rolls over and carries on talking utter bollocks..."
