Sorry about that. TAB, Enter is a bad accidental key sequence. Continuing: ... at Al Qaqaa, on April 18, 2003. That's all it tells us. And all I've done is try to hold people's feet to the fire for speculative accusations made without a factual basis. And if you've read much of my commenting, you'd know that I am anything but a "rabid" rightist. I have views on social issues that are a tad left of Kerry and there are many issues

stevendedalus - You could have simplified this a bit: Your choice is Bush if you are stupid & evil. Your choice is Kerry if you are enlightened and good. Jesus, what a slanted piece. Listing all the reasons YOU'RE NOT voting for Bush as reasons we should . You don't need to put words in our mouths, we can decide for ourselves what our reasons for voting are. Just another example of the arrogant elitis

Reply to Proselyte Hitchens Still Prefers Bush in Politics JoeUser Forums

This is funny. First, blogic uses Hitchens' endorsement of Kerry against Bush. Now, stevendedalus uses Hitchens' retraction of that endorsement against Bush. I have a suggestion that could save them both a lot of time: Publish a single article stating that Anything and Everything that happens is a reason to dump Bush. Then they could go play cribbage or something and have all their bases covered. <img src="../images

Solitair - I take you at your word and I apologize for misreading your general view on the war and withdraw the quote. As for the before/after confusion - BOTH could easily have happened, and at least one did. Time will tell the full story, if we're lucky. Your expectations of instantaneous knowledge of every kilo of WMD component material are simply unrealistic and fail to acknowledge the scope and scale of the problem. Th

Cappy1507 and COL Gene have obviously not been paying any attention. Or more likely are intentionally ignoring all the evidence. Both have been using the same tactic - we've made an unsubstantiated allegation, now you guys prove it wrong. Oh yeah, and we've found one piece of video that doesn't prove the allegation but we're going to say case closed anyway. Now, again, prove us wrong. Some people just don't care - they have made up

COL - After reading this series of Blogs it appears that the forrest has been lost for the trees. The real issue is not if there were 380 tons or 400 tons. Not if there is proof that this material was stolen. Not if it could have been removed. The issue is how the United States handled the Iraq war.

Forgive me, horse... Solitair - many will not be so patient when they don't see any clear investigation occurring and don't trust the authorities to be honest with one. What is known is that at some point a large quantity of WMD component material went missing. At the very least the government needs to acknowled

The Bush administration has deliberately politicized parts of the government that used to be non-partisan (for example, the Civil Rights branch of the Justice Department, and now, apparently, the CIA under new Director Goss). Oh, come on. You have to be kidding. The Bush Administration is the first to

There's only one problem, blogic. The LEFTIST KERRY MEDIA ORGANS made the accusation. The LEFTIST MEDIA ORGANS have the burden of proof. The uncertainty about what happened is NOT PROOF . The Bush Campaign has nothing it has to prove - YOU have something to prove and you're doing nothing but demanding that we prove the wild-ass guess of the NYT is wrong. GIVE US THE PROOF BE

Thanks, Solitaire, for helping me clarify things. I'm happy to reply & hope you get back here to review it. I believe I have been quite consistent in objecting to people stating hypotheses & theories as either factual conclusions or evidence. Much of the stuff tossed out there goes like this: An unsubstantiated theory or accusation is published in such a way as to suggest that it is confirmed or true, often citing references which themselve

Another thing Kerry said today caught my ear. After spending the last 6 months wailing incessantly about how "never before has America been so divided" (ignoring a little skirmish we euphemistically call the Civil War), Kerry today said we are all "absolutely united" in our determination to go after the terrorists whereever they are hiding and to kill or capture them all, trying to suddenly out-Bush Bush.

The 500 Club, playing a round of golf.

Here's how the story should read: "US military succeeds in securing or destroying 99.4% of Saddam's stockpiles of munitions and explosives." Why should that be the story? Because it's the truth. The NYT is good for only one thing - fish wrap. Though I don't know why you'd want to do that to a poor innocent fish. As for CBS, it's almost beyond belief how stupid they are. They appear to believe that the way t
