Do you think Saddam was not funding terrorist? Really? Clinton just turned his head to what was going on in the world.

I agree with his move to go into Iraq but I don't think he had the right strategy: the strategy needs to be flexible and change w/ the outcomes. Good competetive advantage arises from good strategy and part of that is flexiblity, communication, and all that other stuff I'm learning about.

"Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda."

Please stop advancing this myth. It's bad enough that the media in general (and specifically CNN and the New York Times) have been so irresponsible in their coverage of this.

Interesting article from USAToday. Remember if they tie, and the Dems can somehow take the Senate, Bush will be Prez and Kerry VP. Will that satisfy everyone?

Iacocca dumps Bush for Kerry

SAN JOSE -- Lee Iacocca, the innovative former chairman of Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp., dropped his support for President Bush on Thursday and endorsed Sen. John Kerry's candidacy, touting the Democrat's plans to shore up the nation's manufacturing sector.

"We need a leader who is really dedicated to creating millions of high-paying jobs all across the country," Iacocca said at San Jose State University. "The bottom line is simple. We need a new CEO and president.

"I say this not as a partisan, but as an unabashed patriot."

Iacocca campaigned for Bush in 2000, even cutting commercials on his behalf. He had also campaigned for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984.
[...]
Iacocca, 79, said he believes the country is moving in the wrong direction and suggested that Bush has not been straight with the public.

"All of my best friends are Republicans, and they ask me, `Are you crazy or something? Why are you doing this?' Well, it's simple," he said. "I tell them the world is changing, our country is changing and we need a leader who understands that change that's taking place. And most important, we need a leader who will level with us about how we can adapt to that change and make things change for the better."

Republican Ex-EPA Chief Criticizes Bush

EPA Chief for Two Republican Presidents Criticizes Bush's Record


The head of the Environmental Protection Agency for two Republican presidents criticized President Bush's record on Monday, calling it a "polluter protection" policy.

Russell E. Train, who headed the EPA from September 1973 to January 1977 part of the Nixon and Ford administrations said Bush's record on the environment was so dismal that he would cast his vote for Democrat John Kerry.

"It's almost as if the motto of the administration in power today in Washington is not environmental protection, but polluter protection," Train said. "I find this deeply disturbing."

In 1988, Train was co-chairman of Conservationists for Bush, an organization that backed the candidacy of George W. Bush's father.

Train spoke at an event organized by Environment2004, which opposes Bush's environmental record. He accused Bush of weakening the Clean Air Act and said the president's record falls short of those set by former Republican presidents, from Theodore Roosevelt, who advocated creating national parks and forests, to George H.W. Bush, who supported revised standards for clean air.

"A whole lot is about to come out about WMD and Saddams links to terror. Are you liberals going to continue to ignore the facts? The next few weeks will be very interesting....."

And let us remember that this is the Presidents appointed panel, right?

So, we're going to hear something different from the Congressional 9/11 committee?

It wouldn't suprise me. Are those that debunked that report prepared to get their information debunked? I can't believe that after the Congressional and the British investigation, that came back with no evidence of WMD, that this would have the balls to say the was something their. If that happens, there is going to be a serious PR backlash.

It's amazing that people ignore the evidence that's already been put out there. A lot of people continue to say that because one piece of evidence in regards to Saddams attempt to get uranium from Niger means that claim is untrue. This of course ignores of the other evidence for that claim that is still out there and hasn't been shown to be false despite so many investigations.

10 Nobel economists endorse Kerry

Experts criticize Bush's 'reckless and extreme course'


PHILADELPHIA - John Kerry won the endorsement of 10 Nobel Prize-winning economists Wednesday as he attacked President Bush for policies that he said have led to the creation of only low-paying jobs.

The Democratic presidential nominee released a letter from the economists saying the Bush administration had “embarked on a reckless and extreme course that endangers the long-term economic health of our nation.”

They cited “poorly designed” tax cuts that instead of creating jobs have turned budget surpluses into enormous budget deficits, a “fiscal irresponsibility threatens the long-term economic security and prosperity of our nation.”

and to balance the view...the article below quotes a Dem as saying there are 268 (245+23) Nobel Laureates in the US.

10 apparently endorse Kerry, that is 3.73% WOW !!

Perhaps those 10 are Democrats.


Kerry's Billionaire Buddy Divides America
By Robert B. Bluey
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
August 25, 2004

(CNSNews.com) - No sooner had George Soros vanished from the media spotlight when another liberal billionaire stepped up to the microphone. Yesterday it was John Sperling's turn to offend Republicans by disparaging everything about the so-called red states.

The 83-year-old Democrat and John Kerry supporter released his book, "The Great Divide: Retro vs. Metro America," which chronicles a winning strategy for Democrats, according to Sperling. Ignore conservative values, he advises, and return to the days of FDR's liberalism.

Sperling, who unsuccessfully tried to clone his dog but had more luck with his pet cat, appeared on the U.S. political scene several weeks ago when he began running newspaper ads that divided America into "retro" and "metro" camps.

The cool and hip metropolitans - represented by Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Michael Moore - always come out on top of their retro counterparts - President Bush, Newt Gingrich and Mel Gibson - at least in Sperling's worldview.

"The Republican Party under its current leadership protects the interests of its crony capitalist benefactors in Retro America and the rich in general," according to the book. "To a large extent, this political agenda is backward-looking and inappropriate to the interests of the people living in Metro America."

Among the other differences, according to Sperling: There are 245 Nobel laureates residing in metro states and just 23 in retro states.

The Battle of the Swift Boat Veterans was quickly followed by the Battle of the Nobel Laureates.

Of course, the battle that counts takes place Nov. 2, unless we have to depend on Florida to settle it again.

Unless of course the Liberals who describe Bush as a facist dictator like Hitler are correct.

Then Nov 2nd will make no difference as Bush will declare martial law, the election invalid, and himself president for life.

If John Kerry is elected and Bush allows him to take office, it will mean that all the liberal scaremongers were outright liars and slanderers.

If Bush wins the election, the Liberals will cry that the election was not fair and Bush stole it.......again.

It's interesting how it appears the latest polls are now slightly favoring Bush (still within the margin of error), and the Repub Convention is coming up which may (or may not!) give him another couple points. Maybe if Bush stays out of the limelight he'll fare better than being in it. It seems the more publicity one candidate gets over the other, the one in the spotlight actually loses points. Kerry is a very weak candidate and lots of people despise Bush. They should both hunker down and lay low for their own good. It's an interesting political year indeed.

In three years as president, GW Bush presided over two of the most spectacular intelligence failures in American History.

If, of course, you believe the second one was a failure of anyone's intelligence besides Bush's, that is.

And I hate to pop your balloon Manuka, but I'm still a registered Republican and very middle of the road. You can call me a liberal if you like, or a leftist, or whatever, if it makes you feel more of a man. Frankly, I'm not all that happy about voting for a Democrat, but the party I belong to got shanghaied by a bunch of whackos.
