Lunacy: "Congress voted to spend every dime of that money. Congress voted to go to war."

Yes and no. Congress spends the money, yes. They did not vote for war, they voted for use of force, and war on the condition that Bush went back to the UN for a vote. We knew that Russia, China, France and Germany were going to veto the resolution, so we just didn't ask, and have been operating on a fallacious authorization ever since.

Are you on psychotropic drugs? Can I have some?

So sarcasm should help me obtain food and mate? Because... no. It doesn't help.

Holy crap that was good! I especially like the cardboard didgeridoo, since that's the only instrument I can play.

(sarcasm) Adam! I thought you'd learned your lesson about promoting political items on this blog. Shame on you! (/sarcasm)

Why shouldn't they be allowed to brodacast. Its not like they're giving advice for how to bring down buildings. Its just news with a slant. If you take away news with a slant, my god, what's left?

So 720,000 Americans would die for every dictator we didn't depose? Iraq can't be said to contribute to terrorism, or be called a fundamentalist Islamic country. Iraq was a SECULAR dictatorship. Saddam and Bin Laden didn't get along. Their beliefs directly contradicted each other's. Saddam believed that fundamentalist Islam was holding back the middle east and without discarding it, they would never make it into the 21st century.

We can definitively say now that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. None of the hijackers were Iraqi. On the other hand 14 of the 19 were Saudis. Most of the money came from Saudi Arabia.

We can also definitively say that Iraq was not a threat. I'm talking to you, SoftwareSamurai. Weapons inspectors were on the ground, with full access to everything they needed to determine that no weapons were there. When we told Saddam to disarm... HE DID! When we told him disarm again (the same weapons) he started destroying his Al Samoud missiles just to ensure we didn't attack him. He complied with everything Bush asked of him. So then Bush asked him to take his sons and leave the country, knowing he wouldn't do it, because he had complied with every demand we made up until then. The man didn't want war with us -- he did everything short of exiling himself to avoid a US invasion.

I'm sorry to throw facts at you like that, but you seem to not have any of your own.

My favorite aphorism is a ripoff of "might makes right." He wrote, "Force shites on reason."

Also, cane sugar isn't addictive like HFCS. It shuts down the nerve receptors that tell you when you're full, so in essence, you never stop being hungry. Kind of like doing coke.

ted: you're just a barrel of fun, aren't you.

Heck, if it gets wet, you'll just have a good ole fashion hippie-nudist wedding. Not that you're that far off wearing toilet paper to your wedding.

AJ... wtf are you talking about? Because it seems to have very little to do with an ugly dog. Maybe I just missed the part where chinese babies are really ugly dogs.

Sounds like the best way to make money in a bad economy is to set up shop selling ties.

Ted: 5 looks like an S, and doesn't trip bad language filters. Not that the word ass does either.

Anyway, its about time someone tracked this sleazeball down and talked to him. Nothing he's ever said or done has been honest, and now he's partly responsible for the deaths of 4000+ Americans, and around 100,000 Iraqis. Hope he's proud. Maybe, just maybe, some news outlet will keep this story alive long enough that America will know how it came to be that their sons and daughters have died.
