Yes, I am angry that taxpayer money is being paid to a company to sit on
their hands and do nothing while waiting to destroy weapons that haven't
been found.

If you know where they are, why don't you share your knowledge with Mr.
Bush, who recently stated admitted faulty intelligence.

I think you are doing very selective quoting. From the same article:
"Until now, the only evidence of Iraq's alleged attempts to buy uranium
from Niger had turned out to be a forgery. In October 2002, documents were
handed to the US embassy in Rome that appeared to be correspondence between
Niger and Iraqi officials.
When the US State Department later passed the documents to the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN nuclear watchdog, they
were found to be fake. US officials have subsequently distanced themselves
from the entire notion that Iraq was seeking buy uranium from Niger."
Do you think if the administration had even a shred of evidence that the
Niger story was true, they would have admitted to being wrong in the State
of the Union address. Bah! Rush and his buddies would be shouting it from
the rooftops, and tattooing it on their broad white butts.

I have a family member who is the senior editor for a major news
organization. She just laughed out loud at your assertion. Believe me, a
story that PROVED the connection between SH and OBL would not be
ignored. It would be on the front page of every website and newspaper in
the country. If you have proof, produce it. Empirical evidence, not
neocon opinion and gibberish. Post it, and I'll have it on her desk
tomorrow morning.

No, not hate. The truth is an affirmative defense. While he may not meet

Wrong. Substantially more terrorist attacks have occurred in the last 2
years than in the years preceding 9/11

Then why was Ashcroft stumbling around my hometown today yelling "the sky

You'd hide too if you had 25 million dollar bounty on your head. The point
is, if they are doing such a great job, why isn't he sharing a cell with
his purported buddy Saddam.

>Cells are working on there own. They're on the run.
Assumption in absence of evidence. Many terrorist experts think the
Al-Queda is stronger than ever, and OBL is still in charge. They certainly
are still powerful enough to avoid capture for almost 3 years, so their
support system is clearly in place. The image of a weak Al-Queda with OBL
shivering in a cave is pure propaganda by the administration, and has no
basis in fact. It greatly endangers the people of the United States by
giving the a false sense of security about the success of the "war on
terror". The raw facts are that none of the actions taken or laws passed
since 9/11 would have prevented it if they had been taken beforehand, and
no true security is in place to prevent attacks from happening again. If
you truly believe we are safer, you are in strong denial as to the reality
of the world.

There will never be peace in the Middle East as long as both sides teach
hate. Sending US troops to Iraq didn't fix that. Removing Saddam from
power didn't fix it either, although I'm no fan of his, and I'm glad he is
gone. Of course, the Iraq court could always mimic the OJ jury and fail
to convict. Then all of this would be for naught. Israel will only be
safer with Saddam gone if the new government does not fall under the
control of the mullahs who support the Palestinians. If that happens, as
it like will, the danger to Israel will be substantially greater. A
greater threat to Israel is from Hezbollah, which is funded by Iran, not
Iraq.

No, most of the world, even our former good friends in Canada, see the US
arrogant and imperialist. And the Islamic world sees us as the devil
incarnate. Our only friends are the "coalition of willing", who were
bought and paid for.

Loose = opposite of tight

Gore didn't lose to anyone. He chose not to run. Many of us wish he had
not made that choice.
As for Kerry, I'm not his biggest fan, but you're right about him not being
Bush, and as my daughter-in-law said last night, I'd vote for a plate of
cold okra before I'd vote for Bush.

Yeah, that may be because I hold the world speed record for punching the
