    I admit it's stupid to think it's OK for Bush to have gone into Iraq based on lies he perpetrated

    THAT WAS IN THE POST YOU RESPONDED TO! I also said that you agreed that he lied. So I'm asking where/when.

      Or maybe if he didn't commit perjury... L'il Kim is going to prison over that.

        And it shows how restrictive western society is that a president felt he had to lie about a mistake like this. I read a bit of Roth that said (paraphrased) "And a sign draped over the White House said 'A human lives here'." He, Roth, was talking about Clinton. I do find the lie to be far worse than the act that made him lie. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

            Maybe this will help you figure it out: The Other Lies of George Bush[^] Bush Watch[^] Partisan, sure, but still valid behind the rhetoric. If only 10% is true, it is far worse for the American people than "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." And hiding behind the claim of "faulty intelligence" -- especially when the intelligence is so obviously questionable in the first place -- is the equivalent of saying "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is". Ass-covering. Dissembling. Lying.

              I stopped reading that first link after the very first claim. Bush said that there were numerous contacts with Al Queda and that they did not lead to a "material relationship". That's actually what he told the reporters! Of course that's twisted by psychopaths like yourself to mean that he was stating that Iraq and Al Queda directly "dealing" with eachother. Geeze, man. Get a clue!

                    :| One president has his cigar sucked and he gets impeached. Another starts a war on false pretenses, on a lie, over a 1000 US citizens are killed along with countless Iraqis and that is OK with you? Holy smokes, Batman. []Let us be clear. I am not saying Bush did or did not lie. I am using what the poster above said and asking how what he believes can be OK but that when Clinton lied about sex (not war, not killing people, not corruption, just some sex (what he did was wrong, I agree)) that is impeacheable.[] regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

                    "When Clinton lied no body died." I'm just saying we moved into Iraq to set up a western capitalist nation, not because Saddam had weapons. As an added bonus we can use it a base in case another of those governements (like Iran) gets out of line. But he couldn't just tell the American people the truth, because people can't accept the truth. The people prefer lies, it is much easier that way. *** Edit. Oh yeah, we get a bonus to the economy and cheap oil. And the Iraqi people will have a higher standard of living. Its a win win situation for everyone.

                        I know, I'm just playing around. But at least our military is volunteer. People who sign up know the risks involved. I wouldn't do it, but hey some people really want to kill people and it is the only way you can do it legally. "People who never make mistakes, never do anything." My Blog

                            I asked you for evidence of a lie, not a link to some guy who is literally making stuff up. Honestly find me the quote. And then find me evidence that it's a lie. I'm not the one making the claim. You are. Back it up.

                                  Completely wrong. The reason he was questioned in the first place because he was giving testimony for the Paula Jones case. Where did you come up with this?

                                      I asked you for evidence of a lie, not a link to some guy who is literally making stuff up. Honestly find me the quote. And then find me evidence that it's a lie. I'm not the one making the claim. You are. Back it up.

                                      How much proof do you need? Do I need to assemble witnesses and gather sworn affadavits? Here, since you seem to be incapable of following more than one link... In the State of the Union address, Bush said, "By the year 2042, the entire [social security] system would be exhausted and bankrupt." In what the BBC calls "highly unusual," a State of the Union Speech was interrupted by a chorus of "No's," booing, and heckles from some of the members of Congress in attendance. This happened immediately after the above Bush lie. As Shields mentioned on the PBS wrap-up, and as Brooks concurred, if adjustments are not made, by 2042, as they have been made before, 3/4 of the funds promised would still be available. The entire system would neither be exhausted nor bankrupt. -- Politex, 02.03.05 "President Bush proclaimed that a report by leading economists concluded that the economy would grow by 3.3 percent in 2003 if his tax cut proposals were adopted. No such report exists." Gordan Livingston, 06.03.03 On April 26, President Bush said in his weekly radio address, "My jobs and growth plan would reduce tax rates for everyone who pays income tax." That turned out not to be true. According to the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an unspecified number of low- and middle-income families received no tax cut at all because they'd been excluded from an expansion of the child-care tax. --Timothy Noah, 06.03.03 "President Bush has continued to say he has not yet decided whether to go to war. [Today Bush said, "If we go to war..."] But the message being conveyed in high-level contacts with other council governments is that a military attack on Iraq is inevitable, these officials and diplomats said. What they must determine, U.S. officials are telling these governments, is if their insistence that U.N. weapons inspections be given more time is worth the destruction of council credibility at a time of serious world upheaval....In meetings yesterday with senior officials in Moscow, Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton told the Russian government that "we're going ahead," whether the council agrees or not, a senior administration official said...."You are not going to decide whether there is war in Iraq or not," the diplomat said U.S. officials told him. 'That decision is ours, and we have already made it. It is already final. The only question now is whether the council will go along with it or not.'" --WP, 02.25.03 I could continue. I suppose now you'll employ your usual tactic of taking one phrase and f

                                        Maybe this will help you figure it out: The Other Lies of George Bush[^] Bush Watch[^] Partisan, sure, but still valid behind the rhetoric. If only 10% is true, it is far worse for the American people than "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." And hiding behind the claim of "faulty intelligence" -- especially when the intelligence is so obviously questionable in the first place -- is the equivalent of saying "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is". Ass-covering. Dissembling. Lying.

                                        Corn is a moron. How can you say, that intel gathered by the Clinton Administration, and cited buy the Bush Admin makes Bush a liar? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                                          Let me know what you think about it when your wife sleeps with the gardner.

                                          Ahh. Now I understand, and I'm sorry your wife cheated on you (although mildly amazed that you got a woman to sleep with you in the first place). You should probably just let it go and move on with your life instead of wallowing in fantasies of puritanical revenge.
