A great speech by the President today. He's finally decided to stop taking punches over Iraq. Here's a short excerpt:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...0051111-1.html
"While it is perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began. Some Democrats and anti-war critics are now claiming we manipulated the intelligence and misled the American people about why we went to war. These critics are fully aware that a bipartisan Senate investigation found no evidence of political pressure to change the intelligence community's judgments related to Iraq's weapons programs. They also know that intelligence agencies from around the world agreed with our assessment of Saddam Hussein.
They know the United Nations passed more than a dozen resolutions citing his
development and possession of weapons of mass destruction. Many of these critics supported my opponent during the last election, who explained his
position to support the resolution in the Congress this way: 'When I vote to give the President of the United States the authority to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, it is because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat, and a grave threat, to our security.' That's why more than 100 Democrats in the House and the Senate, who had access to the same intelligence voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power.
The stakes in the global War on Terror are too high, and the national interest is too important, for politicians to throw out false charges. These baseless attacks send the wrong signal to our troops and to an enemy that is questioning America's will. As our troops fight a ruthless enemy determined to destroy our way of life, they deserve to know that their elected leaders who send them to war continue to stand behind them. Our troops deserve to know that this support will remain firm when the going gets tough. And our troops deserve to know that whatever our differences in Washington, our will is strong, our Nation is united, and we will settle for nothing less than victory."

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
He should have done this months ago, and he should go farther then he is.

Back on the job making the same tired old arguments that have already been countered.
Not sure what you posted, barrow, but I bet it was ridiculous.

Well I guess if democrats say Bush lied about the intel on WMD's emough times eventually it will become truth!!
Is THAT what he posted? Well, I knew it would be loopy, and I was right.
So, how does that argument go? In the planning sessions, I suppose NObody brought up the fact that by doing what they were hoodwinking the People into going along with, as soon as they did it, they'd be exposed as liars.
Oh, and virtually everybody else, too. Democrats, Russians, French, and all other dim-bulbs that, although opposed to the war, STILL thought Saddam had big ole nasty WMD caches. THEY lied, people died!
Ah, but that's the genius part of The Big Scheme: THEN, see, we'd tell 'em that Saddam just foxed us the whole time, and the People will say, 'We forgive you.' Because doing THAT is WAY easier and more sure-fire to win the '04 election than just campaigning hard. YEAH, THAT's the ticket! TRICK 'em, and then trick 'em AGAIN! It's so crazy, it just might work!
But dammitall, Dean and Sheehan have seen through the clever plot! If it weren't for those meddling kids, we'd have gotten away with it, too!
Idiot.

So the Democrats that Bush quoted were lying then? Or was the bipartisan Senate Intel Committee lying?

I see nothing in his statements that has been countered with anything but rhetoric...

S.H.I.T. from the left and C.R.A.P. from the right. American politics at its best.
Machiavelli would agree.

BS is not an effective counter-argument to the facts.
