It's more hilarious to see you savor the delectable fruits of years of online basketball message board moral triumphs.
They certainly could have saved thousands of lives and BILLIONS of dollars by not invading in Iraq and having talks about Inspectors. Instead they made the situation worse over there and possibly have taken a secular country and turned it into a fundamentalist state. YIPPEEE !!! DD
I find it ironic how a bunch of people who are typically so cynical about motives and just life in general are so eager to accept this entire book as an exercise in truth-telling.
It must be quite embarrassing to be a Republican right about now. 7.5 years of virtually unchecked governance that has fallen flat on its face in failure. Better luck next time. (20+ years from now)
And in 4 years from now it will be embarrasing to be a Democrat we will see a true Independent candidate clean up BOTH messes!
I find it odd that some people won't believe anything in the book even though the people the book has talked about haven't denied any of the information put forward in the book. They have tried to put forward some motives for the book being written, some of which(such as $$) are quite implausible.
At this point it should be pretty obvious that Jesus Christ himself could write a book bashing Bush and he'd be labeled "disgruntled", "opportunist" and "money grubbing"
Doubtful. This country will always get tired of any administration no matter what kind of job they are doing. Hopefully Obama's tenure as president will last 8 years because that will mean he has done a good job, but after 8 years of a democrat president this country will be ready for a change.
Wait...so you think it's more plausible that he wrote the book "because of “a loyalty to the truth and the values he was raised on?" I'm not even a cynical liberal and I don't believe that for a second. The book is going to sell through the roof because of the sensationalist aspect, and he or the publisher who offered him the money to write the book knew that from the very beginning. The White House has already accused him of trying to cash in with sensational allegations to sell books. What else is there to say? It's not like he's providing verifiable information that can be proven or dis proven. It's things like oh, I heard the president on the phone talking to some guy and he said this... The only thing we know for sure of is he wrote the book to make money, because well, that's why people write books.
Now, I am middle of the road in my political leanings, but this might be one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever read. Are you freaking kidding me????
Guys, let us not get sidetracked from the real premise of this thread, which is Batman's drunken burp of a post. To think that a disgruntled employee's effort to make money is any type of definitive proof of whether someone was 'right from the beginning and all along' is .... well... not a sober analysis. GREATNESS
Spend all the money in the world on refineries -- the problem is that in the US, the enviro-hippie kooks won't let you build them. Furthermore, given the international intelligence at the time of Iraq's WMD progress, had we not acted on the threat and endured another 9-11, the economic damage would have been far worse that today's commodity price surge. Don't bore me with your hindsight analysis, friendo.
Please, as you said, let's stay on topic about how you were completely wrong about the war and this criminal administration.
Batman - You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Batman Jones? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI.
