Which is absolutely correct. Even if Saddam wasn't trying to obtain uranium (and he was), it's still correct because this is a report from the British government. huh? and saddam ALREADY HAD yellowcake...about 500 tons of it. he had no need to go to niger for a "football size" bunch of it. do you people know how expensive and how long and how difficult it is to actually make a bomb? the biggest reason only a handful of countries have the bomb is not beca

Members of Al Qaeda WERE known to be in Iraq, and that is indisputable there are al queda members in virtually EVERY COUNTRY...that is irrelevant. if that was the standard, we'd have to invade everyone pretty much.

Was it Cheney's apparatus that led Clinton to believe that Hussein had a WMD program in 1998? For that administration to say that it was a big enough threat to act militarily? I'm confused how it was good for Clinton to assume the worst in 1998, but irresponsible for Bush to do so in 2002. Was Clinton a neo-con, or was he 'wagging the dog' to cover his own impeachment? more red herrings....cmon baker...

wilson isn't the issue here. cheney is. EXACTLY! but expect the red herrings and strawmen to continue. the more they can twist it into a debate about joe wilson, the less they have to defend darth cheney.

For the reasons the Congress lined out in their support for the President to go to war. Nothing in it says that Iraq definitely did this or that. The President said, openly, that there was no sure knowledge that Iraq had done anything. Bush said, simply, that the dangers of assuming the best were far greater than assuming the worst. cmon baker, you are better than this. don't try to play lawyer with everything that has happened and been said by this admi

in·i·tia·tive (ĭ-nĭsh'ə-tĭv) n. The power or ability to begin or to follow through energetically with a plan or task; enterprise and determination. A beginning or introductory step; an opening move: took the initiative in trying to solve the problem. The power or right to introduce a new legislative measure. of course if you only isolate "create" you can skew and spin...but the KEYword is "initiative." which, as you see above, is exactly what al did. <b

Kind of a facetious statement. what is false about it...it is simply an analogy...and a damn good one. on a sim. note, i look forward to the inspector general's report to congress today on doug feith's methods of ginning up the war.

But I suspect that your statement is either made in haste, or shows a definite lack of cognitive ability when it comes to questioning the media. no, it's based on the facts. obvious ones.

Reply to Is homosexuality normal? in Religion JoeUser Forums

As far as the Dr. Laura piece SConn, you are comparing the laws given to the Hebrews and one universal one given to all mankind. Yes, God made it very clear to the Hebrews that homosexuality was a sin. But just so we don't misunderstand that it wasn't just for the Hebrews he again pointed this out in the NT as well in Romans 1 and 1 Cor 6 naming all the sexual sins including the one mentioned here. So while we don't have to worry about the sacrifice or the Sabbath we d

Do you not understand the difference between an analyst that is brought on, and someone who actually reports the news? do you understand the difference between an employee and a guest? An analyst like Dick Morris is someone who is paid to offer their opinion and "analysis". What they talk about is their take or analysis of the news. Reporters would generally write about the news without analysis or opinion. There is

Reply to Murdoch: "We Tried" to Shape Iraq War Agenda in The Media JoeUser Forums

"analyst" or guest, anlyst and guest are not synonymous. analyst and reporter is much closer to a synonym. MORRIS IS NOT A "GUEST " IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. he is paid by Fox to contribute, analyze and report on his analysis when called upon. If you want to claim that Fox is promoting the administration, then I hope you will acknowledge the rest of the MSM is promoting the democrats agenda. Like actively trying to

The Internet helps to get out the facts and quickly correct wrong information. If one takes media as a generic term, it is more powerful today. But as a new organization, one cannot change everything. Murdoch said he considers public opinion important, but there is also a time for leadership. (Rupert Murdoch @ The World Economic Forum) according to murdoch, people feeling a certian way is ok, but sometimes the public needs to be told what to think and believe. fortunately, even murdoch

This doesn't make any other news service any kind of "unrefutable gold standard" of facts. ya wanna question MSNBC daiwa, fine....but look at the facts,,,did murdoch say what i quoted him on? he certainly did admit to "trying to" help the administration and it's drumbeat for war. you can try to throw mud all ya want,,,but he said what he said. anyone is free to bury their head in the Fox sand, but the facts are clear. and li
