You are either terminally naive or your judgement has been distorted
by your venomous anti- American, anti-Bush bias.

Anti-Bush bias, ubetchurass.....and with reason out the kazoo.
Anti-American? Where do you get that shit? Let me remind you that a
Republican President, Theodore Roosevelt, said that he believed it to be
tantamount to treason for an American citizen to fail to bring his
government to account in time of war if he had reason to believe that its
prosecution of that war was deficient in any way. It was during World
War I
and he had two sons in uniform fighting in France when he said that for
publication. If he could define patriotism in that way, I see no reason
why
I can't. And if you're going to question my patriotism, then you'll have
to
question that Republican President's as well.

President Clinton claimed Iraq had WMDs in order to get unanimous
support for his Iraq Liberation Act in 98 when Bush was still governor
of Texas.

None of that matters because he didn't take us into war over his
mistakes.
Bush's gaffes, OTOH, have cost thousands of American lives, tens of
thousands of grievously wounded American men and women, hundreds of
thousands of Iraqi casualties, and literally millions of Iraqi refugees
who
felt obliged to flee their own country because the conditions Bush
exposed
them to were so much worse than those that Saddam had imposed on them.
If
that wasn't enough, we lost the friendship of most of the world's nations
and the respect of practically all of them who now fear and despise us
for
our heavy-handed and clumsy performance as the world's only super-power.
And if that wasn't enough, our ground forces are now stretched almost to
the
breaking point according to numerous qualified military observers, we've
borrowed a disgraceful amount of money in order to pay for Bush's folly
that
our grandchildren will eventually have to pay for, and our deficit is now
at
record levels.

You can defend that kind of deplorable performance from the President,
but I
cannot. More to the point, I fought for the right to criticize him by my
service during three major wars and, by God, nobody with lesser
contributions than I've made will ever talk me out of that. He has it
coming and it's my duty to make sure if I can that it comes to pass.

George Z.

Is it not very much a lie repeat it after the particular bit of
misinformation has been pointed out and acknowledged?

This must be my slow day because I don't understand your question. Would
you mind rephrasing it, please?

George Z.
