Here is are some facts you can sink your teeth into. I know your reading comprehension skills are limited, so I will point out that UNSCOM located over 16,000 WMD's that WERE NOT DESTROYED! This is the UN report not innuendo or ambiguity.

Under the section of "difficulties of assessment of possible perscribed activity...

In 1991, Iraq declared its chemical and missile weapons programmes, and made available a
number of proscribed facilities and items for UNSCOM to inspect, verify and deal with. These
declarations provided a basis on which to question Iraq and to probe its explanations for
consistency, etc. Often, this led to the uncovering of more proscribed activities and material.
However, with respect to biological and nuclear weapons programmes, Iraq initially declared in
1991 that it did not have such programmes. Consequently, UNSCOM and the IAEA had to take a
different approach in order to verify whether this was indeed the case. Inspections in these fields
were based on, for example, intelligence reports, supplier information, selective searches for
documents and material, and interviews.



In other words, from what I've read and scanned so far our of the 175 pages........innuendo, and no hard core evidence, which is exactly what has turned up..... no hardcore evidence.

Although I appreciate your opinion, I'm involved in something called a logical debate, meaning, your reference to Mutt not only enforces the oppositions zeal, yet undermines our common goal due to your lack of debate skills. Please refrain from comparisons and personal commentary, it only hinders the cause.

All that does is make people who might actually listen to an intelligagle debate, immediately back-off. Let them judge for themselves weather it's intelligent or not.

Nobody put me up to this. Personally, I like you, and am amused by some of the things you post. But when it comes to arguements like this, you can't hang, and your "heart-felt" opinion only helps the opposition, because it is based on NOTHING subtantial, which is the very thing they attack.

I'm an independent voter. I'll vote for the best candidate. I disliked Bush from the very beginning & I dislike him even more today. Bush Sr was bad, but the son is a horror for our country.

buddha
when i compared you to mutt, what i meant was, you have a persuasive style. you make good points with logical reasoning. not that youre brusque and annoying like everyone else thinks he is. i personally like his bluntness so it wasnt a jab.

as far as my take on bush's motivations for war, i based it on something he said not long after 9-11. or maybe it wasnt him. maybe it was something SOMEBODY in the administration said. i didnt footnote it cuz i didnt know there was going to be a test. but anyway, what was said was to the effect of the war on terrorism isnt just al-quaeda, its going to be worldwide, and its going to include iraq. im paraphrasing to the nth degree BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A COLLEGE TERM PAPER.

there, did i "hang"? just a little? you go be the debater, and ill continue being the snarky commentator, while the fate of the free world hinges upon you convincing backwards backwoodsmen from arkansas that theyre just plain wrong.

youre a good guy, buddha. relax.

IMO!
Iraq was unfinished biz that was brought in before 9/11. It was just not determined how it was going to be sold to the country. 9/11 made it an easier sell to the American people. So, it doesn't surprise me that it was part of the post 9/11 rhetoric.


Bacpac, your reference to this info being common knowledge is, at best, transparent. That proof has since been disputed in the international forum and it is part of the reason Bush is paying the price now. The 'intelligence' also told us that those weapons were capable of being deployed in 45 minutes. This is not a scare tactic to you? You are too smart to be THAT oblivious.

Yes, this man lied through his teeth to push this agenda through. And now the administration is trying to raise an additional 35 billion dollars for that country. Meantime, we are in trouble here. Social Security is on it's way to extinction. Like BB said, healthcare is a moajor problem, like a time bomb that will explode soon if it gets more expensive and coverage becomes thinner, as is the trend. Deficits are at an all time high. Education hasn't taken the shot in the arm as promised. Need i go on?

And, a final point. Alaska! Back in March (when we were debating the inevitable war to come) I posted a little editorial stating my humble opinion. I was also extremely against it and felt we were getting into a Vietnam parallel, which has happened. And I probably despise GWB as much as you do. But, you really need a new way of presenting yourself, man. I can at least say that i made my points without the deliberate imflaming of oters that you seem to thrive on. So, clean up your act. You are giving us folks a bad name...

One small step....
Dear Carl,

I first would like to thank you for all of your years of service. You are a fine assest to this great state of Michigan. I hope to see you serve us for many years to come.

I email you, which is the first time I have ever emailed any Government offical, because I am growing quite disturbed over our involvement in Iraq. I was once a supporter of this "action" and our President, however, I can no longer stand on the sidelines and watch our brave men and women get cut to ribbions everyday. I want to believe that we are making a differece over there, but I see no progress, only blood shed. Why is it that we can't get the job done and get our people back to there families? Why is it that the President lied to us? I see no way that Saddam was an impending threat to us. I feel we could've waited and taken care of the real issues around the world that need our attention.

I call upon you, Senator Levin, to urge the President to bring a quick ending to this situation. I can be done. It should be done. It must be done.

I thank you for your time,
