Bush looks good as a wall hanging.

Subject: "Oh really"?

While waiting to be called for Jury Duty yesterday I overheard 2 men discussing politics. It seems Bill Clinton created the present deficit. Bill Clinton because during his term he decimated the number of troops and military equipment, George Bush had to spend all that money to rebuild the military so we could go into Afghanistan and Iraq. Therefore in reality Bill Clinton created the deficit.
With this logic and waiting to be called as possible jurors, someone was going to be in more trouble than they thought.
Bill C.

The Republican Mantra is when all else fails blame Clinton. I sure hope they didn't get on a jury since they can't tell reality from spin.

Thanks for writing.

Comments by President Bush about Iraq 's alleged weapons of mass destruction from September 2003 back to September 2002:

We are interviewing Iraqi citizens and analyzing records of the old regime to reveal the full extent of its weapons programs and its long campaign of deception. — Sept. 23, 2003, speech to the U.N. General Assembly.
___
Intelligence throughout the decade showed they had a weapons program. I am absolutely convinced with time we'll find out that they did have a weapons program. The credibility of this country is based upon our strong desire to make the world more peaceful, and the world is now more peaceful after our decision. — June 9, 2003, remarks to reporters after Cabinet meeting.
___
Our nation enters this conflict reluctantly. Yet our purpose is sure. The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder. — March 19, 2003, address to the nation.
___
Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. — March 17, 2003, address to the nation.
___
The dictator of Iraq has got weapons of mass destruction. He has used weapons of mass destruction. He can't stand America and what we stand for. He can't stand our friends and allies. — Jan. 22, 2003, speech in St. Louis.
___
It's important for our fellow Americans to understand that, when we're talking about Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), we're talking about a man who said he has had no weapons of mass destruction, yet we believe has weapons of mass destruction — a man who has not only had weapons of mass destruction, but he's used weapons of mass destruction. ... He's a threat and he's a danger. — Dec. 3, 2002, speech in New Orleans.
___
Today this regime likely maintains stockpiles of chemical and biological agents, and is improving and expanding facilities capable of producing chemical and biological weapons. Today Saddam Hussein has the scientists and infrastructure for a nuclear weapons program, and has illicitly sought to purchase the equipment needed to enrich uranium for a nuclear weapon. Should his regime acquire fissile material, it would be able to build a nuclear weapon within a year. — Sept. 14, 2002, radio address.

Kay Testimony Impeaches Bush

By Robert Scheer, AlterNet
January 26, 2004

Can we now talk impeachment?

The rueful admission by the chief U.S. weapons inspector David Kay that Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction or the means to create them raises the prospect that the Bush administration is complicit in the greatest scandal in U.S. history. Yet, we hear no calls for a broad-ranging investigation of the type that led to the discovery of Monica Lewinsky's infamous blue dress....

1/26/04 - Dennis Miller; New Hampshire

Well, there's Dennis Miller on his new show looking fit and dandy and mightily conservative. And he's even trying to justify his newfound love for machismo and unfettered love of country and hatred of terrorists. And he promised he'll be hard on assholes and gentle on sincereists(?) and he'll give the Moron a pass because he's loyal to his pals....

"I hope this book will cause young people to aspire to improve our political process. For me, the reason for doing this book in the first place was to provide an opportunity for young people to have a deeper understanding of what goes on inside of government and to ask more of their political leaders." -- former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill on the book, "The Price of Loyalty," which portrays President Bush as a disengaged chief executive in a White House where Vice President Dick Cheney and the political team wielded the real power.
