Clinton authorized the legal liberation of Iraq because of that info. And the most recent info Bush had was that Blix reported to the UN that there were significant amounts of unaccounted for WMD materials and weapons.

No, he didn't. Blix reported the unaccounted for WMD materials and weapons in his January 2003 update to the UN. I posted the link.

Strategic reserve. To be recalled from allies at any time. Not too knowledgable on warfare strategy, huh?

A better question is why did Dem Senator Rockefeller take it upon himself to take an individual trip to the ME to tip off Iraq's allies ahead of time?

Just because something Can be done does not mean that it Should be done.

Ya know kids, this thread is about the New York Times editorial calling for the banning and confiscation of certain classes of private firearms.


It's not about the "Who shot John" over Iraq.


Some of you guys turn every single thread into that every single time.

Or it demonstrates a lack of confidence in government. I can't blame anyone for loosing faith in elected reps.
My hand guns are all registered as per the law. I don't know anyone who hasn't registered their hand guns.
Why should we trust government? Vets had their SSN's stolen and were put at risk.
A former Secretary of state defied rules and possibly laws to use a private server.
A Phil. Mayor released the confidential information of citizens who had CCW's.
NSA spying on citizens.
Ruby Ridge
Waco
Cops tasering children and elderly.
Cops getting tanks
IRS scandals
The list of broken promises and misuse of authority is staggering.

I am now calling for a new York times turn in.


This papers existence is more likely to get people killed than all the law abiding gun owners combined.

Can someone point me to the line in the 2nd amendment where it says the guns should only be hunting rifles? Considering the American revolution, and the political climate of trying desperately to limit the power of the federal government, I think it is much more factual to say that the founding fathers wanted the citizens to access to the same weapons that our federal government had.

For those arguing about weapons of mass destruction, you are showing your lack of knowledge, it has been proven that those weapons were there and found in 2003, however instead of publicize it and take credit our government and President ignored the criticism and did what he was supposed to be doing. The New York Times was the 1st to report that they were found, and everybody in this thread knows haw much the times loved Bush.
