whats up with all these retractinos and dismissals and resignations in the papers lately? it's like a god damn hail storm out there. and it's worrisome. simply because it's all of a sudden. and convenient. convenient because the threat that was so bad that justified war, wasn't a threat at all. now its all about CYA. and the way this cartel does that is bully, bribe, and threaten. and it's working. because we have whey too many wimps in places that it shouldn't be that much of a problem.

The Observer | Special reports | Blair: I have secret proof of weapons

Stung by claims that the Government exaggerated the threat from Saddam, Blair said he was waiting to publish a 'complete picture' of both intelligence gained before the war and 'what we've actually found'.

I'm getting weary of the pejorative use of the expression "tax-and-spend Democrats." Of course they tax and spend. That is what they are elected to do. It's their job to spend public money wisely and usefully.
But the "borrow-and-spend" Republicans continue to increase the public debt and spend our grandchildren's money with questionable wisdom.

how does the logic of :he's had 12 years to hide these WMD' as a basis for coming up empty on proving saddam's guilt, and at the same time, showing the WMD movie at the United Nations with such detail about these very weapons, including satellite photography. it's absurd that we should believe that the CIA found these weapons and know of their existence with photographs on may 1st, but on may 15th, they cant find anything. as far as i'm concerned, anybody who swallows that load of crap outta be sick to their insides for a year.
