http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/16/curveball-jail-war-mongering-germany "If Curveball is telling you that he lied about weapons of mass destruction in order to encourage the US to invade Iraq, then he has arguably broken the law," he said. He got Bush hook line and sinker.... Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

The intelligence folks know better than rely on one source for its information. Heck you had Hans Blix crawling up everyone butt in Iraq and found next to nothing. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/16/curveball-jail-war-mongering-germany This is old and new news. It has been public knowledge for a while that this was the only source of information that was used to make the decision to go to war and other handlers questions his word. Bush was a little to eager to to take his word instead of what others were telling him. On the other hand, we now have the truth from the horses mouth which is new. This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. |

We also knew that other Iraqis "scientists" had no idea who the so called informant was. He was just a jerk looking to topple Saddam. end of story In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. If you are claiming that Bush was a doofus fool, I can agree. If you are going to state that the most powerful intelligence gathering mechanism on the planet, the US government, was fooled by one dude with a grudge then you and I are again in disagreement. Bush lied but now has some other asshat to blame it on. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists.

Dubya once explained his REAL reason for going after Saddam. "He tried to kill my Daddy". Everything else was an excuse. Anyone who opposed him was called working for the terrorists( A complete logic gap). And he used every excuse he could find to pull it off. Janice |

This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. Being willfully mislead and then passing on that misleading information as fact is about as close to lying directly as to make no discernible difference (outside of a courtroom). I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. the funny thing is that people just as soon forget that Clinton clearly asks in his deposition if the investigation was using the Arkansas ruling as to what constituted sex. They said that they were.(apparently ignorant of what that may be) that ruling stated only vagina penetration constituted sex. So Clinton honestly told them he didn't have sex. His cigar did. Also its funny what constitutes High crimes and what doesnt. having sex with interns CHECK Deliberately misleading the US, the UN, and the Coalition of a few into fighting a war on false pretenses. Presenting false evidence for that war. The Deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people from those lies. Didnt we hang a few folks after WWII for something similar... maybe I'm mistaken. I do recall we didn't give them a library to hide their crimes nor high dollar homes to hide in after they were finished. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. The quote is from a TV address to the American public. And you are the one who said outside a courtroom. |

This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. and one can only assume that he was going, once again, by the standard that was seti in Arkansas.

So in the scheme of things...I wonder how Bush ranks in the list of the biggest murderers in History. Do you think he makes the top 100? Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

History covers a long time and that 100 club may be beyond his accomplishments along that line during 8 years of madness. There are some who've enjoyed a long lifetime of killing throughout history.

This is absolute proof that Bush didn't lie, but he was willing to be taken for a ride. Right, so smart he fails to realize he isn't in a courtroom any more with all the TV lights, cameras and microphones when he called a press event. As he is so smart he had to know he was in Washington DC, where the list from say 18 USC 2256 would be the acts covered as he was on Federal property and did the acts on Federal property. Stop spreading the fertilizer and realize Shrub was just following precedent. |

Did anyone else notice how much Dick Cheney resembled "Mr. Potter" from "It's a wonderful life"? Janice |
