Shawn has no answer. And neither does Jim. All that Shawn can do is
SNIP the question.

Yet it is Jim and "Snipper" Shawn who fail to engage. Your theory is a
No Pass.

And an even smaller number of Americans realize: if Bush were "lying",
then those Democratic senators were also "lying" to the American
People.

They fail to realize that the onus was exclusively on Saddam to prove
that he had destroyed his WMD stockpiles -- not the other way around.
They fail to realize that Saddam never ever complied with any UN
resolution -- including the Armistice and UNSC 1441.

They fail to remember that the UNSC unanimously promised "serious
consequences" to Iraq in UNSC 1441 if Saddam failed to comply -- and
France failed to deliver on that promise.

They fail to realize that we still have no proof that the WMDs were
simply moved outside of Iraq.

I thank God that we don't have a president who is obsessed with the
polls. Of all of Bill Clinton's sins, that obsession may have been the
worst thing.

I'm pondering a world where Joe Wilson's denials that Saddam was
shopping for Uranium were rebuked by a 2004 Senate Intelligence
Report, but only a tiny of fraciton of Americans will listen to that
truth.

If that were really the case, you would really be willing to
scrutinize those threads -- talk about the issues. But you do not.

All hail Jim: the master of the ad hominem attack.

How about talking about the issues, Jim?
