Bush and WMD trailers: he did not lie
04.13.06 (12:31 pm) [edit]DrForBush has posted yet another ignorant blog- http://drforbush.tblog.com/po... based on a highly misleading Washington Post story about Bush's May 29, 2003 statement that the US had found trailers that were used as mobile weapons labs.
What DrForBush doesn't bother to do is actually read the article, because deep in the article is the fact that of the three teams that inspected the trailers on May 27, TWO of the three believed them to be bio-weapon labs.
Because of this majority view, the DIA and the CIA published a report on May 28, 2003 which you can read here-- http://www.cia.gov/cia/report... . In the report, which, we remind you was made after two of three teams on the ground confirmed the existence of bio-weapons labs, said:
"Coalition forces have uncovered the strongest evidence to date that Iraq was hiding a biological warfare program. … US forces in late April also discovered a mobile laboratory truck in Baghdad. The truck is a toxicology laboratory from the 1980s that could be used to support BW or legitimate research. The design, equipment, and layout of the trailer found in late April is strikingly similar to descriptions provided by a source who was a chemical engineer that managed one of the mobile plants."
"...[W]e nevertheless are confident that this trailer is a mobile BW production plant because of the source’s description, equipment, and design."
This report therefore is what led the president to say, accurately at the time:
"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two."
So the DECEPTION HERE IS BY THE WASHINGTON POST, NOT THE PRESIDENT, AND THE CRIME EXISTS IN IDIOTS LIKE DRFORBUSH AND EVERYONE ON THE LEFT THAT PARROTS THIS TRIPE USING IT TO BASH SOMEONE.
Criticism is what makes this country great-- but criticism based on known lies for power is something intolerable.
Sidenote: DrForBush is also wrong on Joe Wilson. Should he have bothered to read the 9/11 report, or the investigation into the Wilson affair by the Foreign Intel Committee it is clear that Wilson, not Bush lied, for it was Wilson who told the CIA and the Senate that Iraq did try, indeed, to by uranium in Africa.
Blogs are fun. Unfortunately, they give idiots a lot of space to be themselves.
Dang, I like that tune
04.09.06 (9:58 am) [edit]OK, so I'm probably going to embarass myself by saying this but I cannot get the song "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira out of my head. Now, I know why you think I like that song-- but I haven't seen the video at all. I just think that song rocks.
I usually don't listen to Top40 stuff-- my music collection is full of REM, Green Day, basically any modern rock band from the 1990s (as that is my last cultural reference point, lol). But I heard "Hips Don't Lie" while browsing through iTunes radio stations and had to download it.
Maybe this is one of those songs that you like and play over and over again and then, years later, can't understand why you ever liked it. But for now I'm enjoying (for the fourth or fifth time) the wonderful groove of- SHAKIRA!
Bomb Iran, that is the plan....
04.03.06 (10:36 am) [edit]At least that's what I think. Surely, something has to be done with Iran. They support terrorism, they have been feverishly developing nukes. They have ruined things in Iraq, and they are working with N. Korea.
Oh, and they also have recently said that they're going to unleash terror attacks if we "confront" them.
Our attempt to take this through the UN is being opposed by those wonderful "allies" Russia and China. Seems interesting doesn't it? This time we have all of Europe with us, but the communist leftovers are opposing. The more things change they more they stay the same.
So what do we do? we don't have any troops. Our military IS stretched. Sanctions won't work because Russia and China won't accept that. There is only one real option:
Bomb the hell out of them.
We can slap the NATO label on it and bomb the crap out of Iran like we did in the Balkans. We know where most of the nuke sites are, and we can also hope for some action on the ground from anti-Tehran revolutionaries. But something must be done. Yesterday.
