Sadaam did have WMDs. tons. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-continued-in-iraq-with-surprising-results/
Yes they found the ones that were expired and no longer a threat to cause anything other than minor skin irritation. Those are weapons of minimal destruction.
I'm confident I'll be voting for the Republican ticket, but the last thing the Democrats need to do is create more division amongst themselves.
Thread title: Democrats want Obama Challenged in Primary Thread discussion: DUBYA EM DEEs!!!!!111! wtf yall?
I saw nothing in that article to suggest otherwise. They mentioned finding weapons caches, experts, and missiles that had traces of Mustard Gas. This is the same stuff that Eric Cantor had been bragging about at some point earlier that was found to be old and expired, and not really a threat.
Nor should he. He should be pushed to start siding more with the people and less with Wall Street. After getting 12 calls in one week from the Demcoratic Campaign Committee for donations I got a bit rude and told them I only donate money to progressives and that they had blown it. When he tried to speak back I hung up. I regretted it, but later I had wished I would have told him to tell the Dems to get in from Geithner, Summers and their crowd. Very counterproductive, I know, but Obama needs to come down a bit from his elitist cloud. On the positive side I think the campaign for 2012 begins November 3, and Obama in permanent campaign mode will eventually defeat the Grand Old Tea Party. As Abe Lincoln said: "You can fool some people, but you can't fool all the people all the time". This, I still have some hope is true, even in the age of Fox News and billionaire iniated Tea "parties" and libertarian think tanks. This coalition can be defeated if Obama and the Dems are willing to go real and not ersatz populist ala Tea Party.
Biden will step down due to undisclosed health issues and Hillary will hop on as VP to help close the enthusiasm gap.
Maybe yes; maybe no. The enthusiasm gap will only be closed by Obama forsaking the Wall Street Crowd, the big insurance and big pharma crowd that has already forsaken him.
Hopefully so, but if Obama keeps insisting on dissing his base it could happen. This would be a disaster for about 50% of Americans. At about the $150 k family income it is relatively neutral short term, though a dirty environment, bad economy, having several billion people hating our imperialistic guts etc will catch up with them, too.
I am pretty sure he will and it will be someone far more to the left of him, probably Kucinich. Barring some huge scandal or unforeseen disaster Obama will win the nomination handily. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter in the 2008 but I highly doubt she will run again especially against Obama. She is part of his Admin. and it will be hard for her to run against a record that she played a role in.
This is a great point. You don't even have to go back that far. Remember in 1994 people were saying that Bill Clinton's presidency was over.
