Another case of not answering anything.

Just keep bowing to your dear leader and see where we end up. It's sad that it's more important to you to defend a man that cares nothing about you and lies to your face, than it is to ask a few questions about the future of our country and why the government is determined to destroy it.

FYI: Like a fool, I voted against RR twice.

I expected someone to mention RR, maybe even Jon Voight or maybe Moses (C. Heston). The difference is those fellows could quote the verse, then discuss it's implications.

No,

After 9/11, the media gave Bush a free run. No one asked questions about the war until 03 or so, when we found out for sure there were no WMD's.

Or did you forget that no one asked about the false intel, even though there was plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Including Congress and all the other foreign intelligence agencies, which believed he had WMD too.

That's always conveniently glanced over.

Actually there were lots of intelligence agencies that told him he didn't have any WMD's. They just choose to ignore the facts that didn't fit the story they were trying to write.

I love how random message board posters have all types of inside information that nobody else has access to.

Three seconds on google will give you more information than you can handle from any sort of source you care to choose. Type in "Hans Blix No Wmds" and stand back before the avalanche.

Here's an article in which Hans Blix, the head of the weapons inspectors who were searcihing Iraq for WMDs, says that they knew and reported before the war began that there were no WMDs in Iraq. He was not allowed to finish his job because Bush/Cheney had to invade before the summer or put it off a year, and they didn't want to lose the momentum they had started with the constant drumbeat for war.

He also has a very interesting comment on U,N resolution 1441 which was supposed to be the reason we invaded in the first place.

Blix insists there was no firm weapons evidence | Politics | The Guardian

The U.N. has no worth to anyone. It's run by a bunch of corrupt politicians, so nothing they say holds much water. Weird that nobody took them seriously.

Always ask questions, its YOUR government, you only get out of it what you put in. Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter what you are, you've got to agree with that.
Any post questioning Obama always becomes one about Bush. Seriously, all that does it take the thread off-track.

This is a new administration about which many are concerned, how about you address that???
