So why did the people who were personally in a position to "eat those roadside bombs" love it? > How about Niger yellowcake? Are you referring to his SOTA speech where he said "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." Do you realize that even Joe Wilson has confirmed that his contacts in Niger told him (after the war) that an Iraqi delegation went to Niger to talk about trade? Niger has two exports: Uranium and goats. Translation: Saddam sought uranium (whether as yellowcake or not) from Africa. > How about outing an active duty undercover CIA officer? Which Bill Safire said the CIA didn't seem particularly interested in protecting--otherwise he would have left the name out of his story. > How about not showing up for the last year of his ANG committment? This charge has been debunked, multiple times over. The only way this can even be close to "true" is if you look at the fact that in his last year he showed up only 25% more often than he needed to while in prior years he had shown up 4 and 5 times as often as he needed to. > How about not releasing the notes on the Enegery policy board meetings? Why should he? > How about the no bid contracts for Halliburton and brown and Root, where > Audit discover hundreds of millions of dollars of money and materiel > missing > and unaccounted for? Same sort of contracts that KBR and Halliburton got during the Clinton admin. So what? > Howabout the Bin Laden Family and other Soudi big wigs flying through our > skies while Americans were stuck in nova Scotia? And before the FBI got to > question them about why 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis? Not true. Richard Clarke (who wrote a book and got his 15 minutes of fame trashing Bush before the 911 Commission) said that they flew out on his say-so. The FBI got to interview everyone they wanted to interview, and they didn't fly out until after all the planes were flying. > I hold lots of stuff againt the guy. If I were as badly misinformed, I would hold lots of stuff against him too. Lowell C. Savage It's the freedom, stupid! Gun control: tyrants' tool, fools' folly. _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
