From: Bobert Well, with all the other reasons for attacking Iraq either being exposed as lies or about to be, the Bush PR team has reached way down in their bag of tricks and guess what they've found?

Clinton appeared to use bombing sorties against Iraq as a distraction for the media, when things were getting too troublesome about Monica. Is the implication here that Bush has got some similar bit of naughtiness he's worried about? Now that would be a good news day...It seems it's easy enough to get away with lying, cheating, treason and bloodshed, but when it comes to nookie, that's serious stuff! |

Or maybe something that Clinton does when looking in a mirror. or maybe looking through one of those two-way mirror things. Well, it's very intriguing. Come on bobert, give us another clue. |

21 Jan 04 - 04:14 PM (#1098145) Subject: RE: BS: Latest Escuse for Invading Iraq.... From: Don Firth Dunno if this is what Bobert is referring to or not, but a week or so ago Bush came off with the contention that the war his daddy officiated over in Iraq never actually ended. And Clinton continuted the war, with bombings, enforcing no-fly zones, etcetera. Bush said, with his bare face hanging out and his smarmy smirk, "I was continuing Clinton's policy on Iraq." Why didn't Bush take it back a little further and blame the whole thing on T. E. Lawrence? Don Firth |

Hey, took me 10 minutes to spell Bill Clinton backwards, especially since the letters ain't backwards on my pudder. I asked the Wes Ginny Slide Rule for help but it just shrugged it's square shoulders as if to say, "Hey, Pal, yer on yer own...." Danged hard to get good help these days! Aww, it's jus mad 'cause it's heard about Bush's new "overtime policy" but, hey, like what is a danged slide rule gonna do with more danged money, anyway? But yeah, looks like Clinton is getting ready to be elevated into 1st place on the reasons for invadin' Iraq. Yeah, seems Bush found some notes in the desk in the Oval Office from Clinton tellin' him to attack Iraq... Hey, I ain't heared the full story but that's the word on the street... Bobert |

22 Jan 04 - 01:38 PM (#1098867) Subject: RE: BS: Latest Excuse for Invading Iraq.... From: Don Firth This morning on NPR, Juan Williams interviewed Dick Cheney. You can listen to part of the interview HERE. On the audio clip, it sounds as if they're coming in after the interview has already started. They were talking about elections in Iraq, and Cheney made it pretty plain that they weren't about to allow the Iraqis to run it their own way; they were going to need supervision (which raises the question that Washington State Representative Jim McDermott raised in a speech a couple of weeks ago: "Can we accept the idea that the government the Iraqi people want may not be the government we want them to have?"). About a minute and a half into the interview, Cheney talks about knowing that the Iraqis had "programs designed to produce weapons of mass destruction." Not the weapons themselves, but programs designed to produce them. I read an article just a few days ago that said that they found a fair amount of papers and notebooks containing drawings and formulae for all kinds of stuff—BUT—Iraq lacked the industrial capacity to produce any of it, and it would take them at least six years to develop the capacity (provided the sanctions were lifted so they could buy the equipment they would need) before they could go into even limited production. (I designed a space ship once—still have the drawings and specifications—but I kinda doubt that it will ever get built.) Then he talked about finding "mobile biological weapons labs—a couple of semi-trailers that we believe were part of that program." [i.e., chemical/biological weapons] These have long since been established as mobile labs for producing gas for launching weather balloons. They were connected with military operations because they wanted the weather data for more accurately targeting artillery. But chemical/biological weapons labs? No. Then came the lulu:— Regarding plans to attack Iraq, Cheney mentioned that "even Bill Clinton" talked about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and as far as alleged plans to attack Iraq even before 9/11 (which also allowed him to dodge making any connection between Saddam and 9/11), "We inherited the policy of the Clinton administration." So it's official, folks! Bill Clinton started the war on Iraq! Don Firth |

22 Jan 04 - 02:43 PM (#1098914) Subject: RE: BS: Latest Excuse for Invading Iraq.... From: Ebbie The Bush regime is either the most sadly misinformed government one can imagine or they knowingly and with malice aforethought, LIE. This is no great surprise except to some, possibly including DougR, who continue to believe that they have found a knight on a white horse. Incidentally, I know this is old news- but just maybe seeing it so starkly presented may cause some to rethink some issues. Eb (Culled from the Daily Mislead) Bush: (There is) "no doubt the Iraqi regime continues to possess the most lethal weapons ever devised," Cheney: "There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction...to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us." Bush: (Iraq has)"weapons of mass destruction-related program activities." Bush"What's the difference?" (When asked about the shift from asserting Iraq "possessed" WMD, to Iraq merely exploring "WMD-related-program-activities." Bush (before the war): "the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas" David Kay, Bush's own chief weapons inspector: "Iraq did not have a large, ongoing, centrally controlled chemical weapons program after 1991." Bush (before the war): "Iraq has at least seven mobile factories for the production of biological agents – equipment mounted on trucks and rails to evade discovery." David Kay:"We have not yet been able to corroborate the existence of a mobile biological weapons production effort." Bush: "Iraq has a growing fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas." (U.S. Air Force Intelligence: The vehicles Bush cited "were never meant to spread toxins" Bush (before the war): "Iraq could have a nuclear weapon in less than a year." Bush, (knowing the British allegation had been dismissed by the U.S. intelligence community: Iraq "sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," and told Americans to fear "a mushroom cloud." Cheney: "Saddam has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." David. Kay: "We have not uncovered evidence that Iraq undertook significant post 1998 steps to actually build nuclear weapons or produce fissile material." |
