And it's no surprise that you are ok with the fact that this man's incompetence has led to needless deaths of our troops. As long as his policies agree with your ideology, it's all good as far as you're concerned.

Yes, Congress voted to authorize the use of force as a last resort, based on politicized intel that the White House was feeding them.

But it's no surprise that a liar such as yourself..

And it's no surprise that you are ok with the fact that this man's incompetence has led to needless deaths of our troops.

If Bush didn't lie then he has to most one of the most incompetent leader ever for using the intelligence presented to him to go to war.

Bush lied, Dannoguy lied.

jcshaggy:
You didn't find curt's comment as similarly offensive? Bias can do that I guess.

Guess you don't know what the term 'sitting on the fence' means. I just thought curt's comment was an interesting point. The fact that I haven't commented about my views on it should preclude me from any bias at this point

Bias?

Guess you don't know what the term 'sitting on the fence' means. I just thought curt's comment was an interesting point. The fact that I haven't commented about my views on it should preclude me from any bias at this point :roll: .

I am actually starting to feel a modicum of pity for him.

I almost do too... it must be hard drealing with short-man-syndrome your whole life.

The bottom line is:
The Republicans control the White House,
The Republicans control the House,
The Republicans control the Senate,



and soon...



The Republicans will control the Supreme Court.


You're fucked!

Ahh, there we go..."that the White House was feeding them," eh?

You're losing it, Littlepedro, and I'm lovin' it.

.

Lol, touched a nerve, eh, Littlepedro? Why don't you go to the archives and prove that I'm lying? Uh, oh, can't do that, can we? That might be a bit embarrassing for you, eh?

As to "rewriting history" you phrase captioned above does a pretty good job of painting a distortion that suits your purpose. Nevermind the recently completed investigation which found the opposite of what you imply in your usual sleazy way. Either you and your toadies, rufie and brayingbobby, have proof that Bush lied or it is you that is lying. Which is it, Littlepedro?

What is no surprise is that you would write off the deaths of each and every one of our troops as being needless and in vain; I wonder if you'd have the stones to say that to their families face to face, the families who are proud of their son's and daughter's sacrfices, those who happen to support their efforts...but then Littlepedro is the man who thinks that serving one's country is no bigger a deal than paying a little income tax. (My exact words were, "there are different ways to serve one's country") You, sir, are a sick pathetic little man to make such flat disparaging statements.

I almost do too... it must be hard for him (dannoguy) to deal with short-man-syndrome your whole life.

That is not what he said. It's what you want him say. You are a liar!

Somebody call boob a waaaambulance.












Oh the humanity!!!

The confusing nature of Dano's statements makes more sense when you realize that his sole purpose, on this site, is to provoke controversy. I fear that his condition stems from his having been verbally abused as a child. That would explain his inexorable compulsion for stirring trouble and attempting to malign members of this board. I am actually starting to feel a modicum of pity for him.

Archives? Why would I need to do that.

I almost do too... it must be hard for him (dannoguy) to deal with short-man-syndrome your whole life.

"And then Bush made the go/no go decision, rushing in when there was obviously no immediate threat, and when the U.N. inspectors were asking for just a little more time to do their job

So you disagree that the WH has access to intel that Congress doesn't? And that the WH did not let Congress, or the American people, in on the little secret that there was much disagreement in the intel community over much of the key points of their case?

But I would expect one who lies so easily...

Saying this was unnecessary in no way devalues their sacrifice, it just makes it greater and all the more tragic.

There you go again. The use of the word false strongly infers deliberate intention to mislead as I am sure you are aware...

Oh, I don't know, maybe, lets see uh, credibility maybe? To prove that you're more than a blowhard? To save a bit of your dignity? To prove that I lied maybe? Don't want to go there? Don't blame you, Littlepedro, don't blame you at all.

You and rufie surely have a tough time keeping the facts straight. Your friend Littlepedro is the guy that admitted to that problem.

I ignored it because it is laced with more of your nonsense. "There was obviously no immediate threat?" Gee, Littlepetie, what was all that talk I heard about then? Oh yea, I remember; something about the potential for WMD's. Uh, yea, I remember hearing something about that right about that time. Maybe you did too. It was in all the papers. Maybe even in yours.

If you have proof that the president purposely lied please bring it forth. It will make you famous. Otherwise you're simply another Michael Moore wannabe only more obnoxious and shrill, if that's possible.

You're problem is that you're pissed beyond all recognition, Littlepedro. Why? Because your credibility went into the toilet...about the time you said: "My exact words were, "there are different ways to serve one's country" Now you've tried your best to slip and snake your way out of it but you've failed miserably and now you want so desparately to attack me to divert attention away from your glaring smear of our troop's services and sacrifices...that and the fact that you've admitted that you were the kid all the other kids enjoyed giving swirleys to in phys ed. Lol, I'm not sure which admission is more revealing; both do answer a lot of questions about your previous posts though.

Saying this was unnecessary in no way devalues their sacrifice, it just makes it greater and all the more tragic.

Read your OWN post again, Einstein. You did not say that "this" (the conflict/invasion) was unnecessary; you said the deaths were. It may be hard for you to believe but your opinion is not universally held by those that serve and their loved ones; some believe in what they are doing and do not believe that the deaths of their friends are "unnecessary." Some are proud to serve, something you know nothing about, and by that they mean something more than just paying their taxes, asshole. Nice try at spinning your way out of your own slime again. Gee, now what did you proudly say your momma would call that? Lying?

I ignored it because it is laced with more of your nonsense. "There was obviously no immediate threat?" Gee, Littlepetie, what was all that talk I heard about then? Oh yea, I remember; something about the potential for WMD's. Uh, yea, I remember hearing something about that right about that time. Maybe you did too. It was in all the papers. Maybe even in yours.

Obviously no immediate threat? Lol, you're looooooosing it!

Of all the s--- you've ever posted, rufus, this is the worst.

You do a disservice to every person that had been abused as a child, and you did it only in a vain attempt to score some cheap shot in a discussion. You belittle their tragedy and horror by these words. So anyone that disagrees with you or dislikes your views must have been a child that was abused?

Just disgusting. And yet you purport yourself as superior in all ways? My word, man, how do you sleep at night?

Your tactic and post are truly pathetic, and you ought to be ashamed.

Oh, I don't know, maybe, lets see uh, credibility maybe? To prove that you're more than a blowhard? To save a bit of your dignity? To prove that I lied maybe? Don't want to go there? Don't blame you, Littlepedro, don't blame you at all.

I'm filthy rich . . . and dead sexy.

(Ok, I still have to work, so half of that is wrong.)

And I like paying my taxes, because I feel I have an obligation to contribute something back to the country/society in which I've had the great fortune to live. It's not my money, it's the overhead cost of my existence here, plus a little extra to help out my neighbors. That's how I look at it.

I like most of the stuff I get for my taxes:

They help the less fortunate or less able get an education, and/or a leg up, and/or a safety net in the time of need. This means lower crime rates for me and a reasonably stable society - not too much civil unrest here. I wish the gov would give less to corporations who ship American jobs oversees and more to poor people, though.

They mean a pretty dang good infrastructure, although some areas need a little more attention, and I'd rather see more spent on rail than roads or air travel infrastructure.

They mean, by far, the best dang military in the world, although I'd rather see us spend about half what we do because we would still have the best dang military in the world and be able to afford to improve our society in other areas.

I think I get a lot for my taxes.

I liked Warren Buffet's comments on Bush's tax cuts and the whole rich vs. poor thing. This is paraphrasing, but he basically said:

"I make no attempts to shelter my money or decrease my tax burden. I pay about 30% of my income in total taxes. My secretary pays about 30% of her income in total taxes. Doesn't seem right to me."

Some rich people aren't greedy. Some people recognize that they owe a debt to their country and fellow man. Some people have no problem giving up some of "their money" for the betterment of our country. I think it's a patriotic thing to do - there are different ways to serve your country, after all.

Pussy.

There's real class.

There was a frontline show on this. The President knew the problems with the intel, he chose not to share those doubts, and he and his staff made the case as if there were no doubts. That is a lie.
