In January 2006, the New York Times revealed the existence of a memo which stated that the suggestion of uranium being sold was “unlikely” because of a host of economic, diplomatic and logistical obstacles. The memo, dated March 4, 2002, was distributed at senior levels by the office of former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and by the Defense Intelligence Agency.[5]

“The council’s reply, drafted in a January 2003 memo by the national intelligence officer for Africa, was unequivocal: The Niger story was baseless and should be laid to rest. Four U.S. officials with firsthand knowledge said in interviews that the memo, which has not been reported before, arrived at the White House as Bush and his highest-ranking advisers made the uranium story a centerpiece of their case for the rapidly approaching war against Iraq.

Lies, all lies.

GW is in deep trouble, no doubt. But the two things he’s got going for him are that the donkeys are scared to death of Cheney and won’t get rid of GW for that reason, and the elephants are scared to death of anything a donkey would do in office, like start a war (Bosnia) to get people to forget what kind of a sleazebag he is), or wring his hands and wonder why the Iranians are so mean to their hostages (although I have to admit, he did try to gain the hostages release by boring the Iranians to death with his talking).

Guess we’re stuck with the status quo ’til January 09.

As a side note, GW makes me sick with some of his policies (e.g., ILLEGAL immigration and no vetoes for out-of-control-spending, including medicare/social security), but at least he doesn’t come out and cheer for the destruction of America at the hands of terrorists, unlike a few of senators from NY, CA and MA.

Carlos, your ‘criticism’ has no content. It requires no response. But as a point of agreement, I went to public school too and support its continued funding, unlike the Republican party.

Gary, I guess you point out Christopher Hitchens as an example of a lefty who supports the war in Iraq. Guess what- lots of conservatives oppose the war in Iraq. Here’s one who opposed it when Bill Clinton was president.

Here are two speeches by Republican congressmen on the House floor opposing the war:

What I really don’t get is why you conservatives would favor the Iraq war. I would have a coalition of nations that would intervene to protect a country from a murderous dictator and help support democracy. But that hasn’t generally been the conservative line. The problem is, the government we have has neither the will nor the operational intelligence to make that happen. They aren’t funding those things, only security.

I guess the question you have to ask yourself is: What do you really want, and when did you start wanting it?

By the time he is out of office, blow jobs in the oval office will seem quaint and not such a terrible thing afterall.

I wonder how that garbage gets filtered through brains never taught to compare reality with theory, that never learned to discriminate between PC crap that says all actions are equal as opposed to the Constitution that says all men are created equal (implying that what you do with that equal creation is what separates the winners from the losers).

This guy really needs to get a clue.

Your ‘conservative’ president unilaterally launched a war in the most volatile region of the planet without knowing that there were these groups, see, of Sunnis and Shiites, whose ethnic tensions could produce a genocidal civil war. He didn’t know what a Sunni or a Shiite was, or that they didn’t get along.

Why you continue to support this guy who launched a stupid war that has killed uncounted thousands of people, and instead selectively quote documents to attack Eleanor Clift, is mindbogglingly sad.

Peter Galbraith - former U.S. diplomat: January 2003 the President invited three members of the Iraqi opposition to join him to watch the Super Bowl. In the course of the conversation the Iraqis realized that the President was not aware that there was a difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. He looked at them and said, “You mean…they’re not, you know, there, there’s this difference. What is it about?”

And the diagnosis is Bush Derangement Syndrome. Delusional. Psychiatric. 95% of the MSM is affected as well as leading Dim politicians.

Great material for Rove to work with, let’s pray he does so. My main beef with W is he doesn’t spend enough time effectively countering these Dims.
