A liar in the White House is a bigger threat to the US than a 'murderous dictator' halfway around the world who commands a rag-tag army and no air force or navy of any consequence.

Suppose you sketch out for us what would have been involved in "preparing" these trace amounts of degraded materials to bring them to a state where they would have been capable of killing thousands. I assume you meant us to believe "thousands of people" rather than say "thousands of ants" or some such.

No, the international concept of "imminent threat" would seem a reasonable one to me. Of course, Iraq was not one of those either, but I guess you are among those who believe that asking one to have an actual reason for invading foreign countries is just so much useless, bothersome nit-picking.

Anyone here who claims to know that is lying. And as at least some here are quite likely to have the capacity to recall, far from being off, the heat was at an all-time high level. Hans Blix and his inspectors were crawling all over the place. They would have proved conclusively that invasion was unnecessary had they been given the time to complete their mission. But Bush couldn't allow that to happen...he had to hurry up and invade with the army he had...his time was running out. It was invade now, or see the chance slip away from him forever...

Amazing.

Sorry, but there was absolutely no logic in that post.

Often, logic doesn't work all that well for the right-wing. They seem to prefer something called "revealed truth". Just take the Worst President Ever as one example...

I suppose you are talking about Bubba, the impeached president who lied under oath?

As for "W" can you give an example, and evidence of his lying?

Thanks a bunch.

Can you give an example of Clinton lying under oath? Thanks a bunch.

Can you point to the last Bush speech that did NOT contain at least one lie, fabrication, deliberate deception, or whatever else you want to call these sayings of his that are inconsistent with the truth?
