Impenitent:
…"Let me outline the specific ways the Democrats have been obstructing our prosecution of the war. They have not only opposed every single terrorist tracking tool I referenced before, but they have persisted in wrongfully accusing me – before the entire world community, whose favorable opinion of America they profess to value above all else – of lying about Iraqi WMD, about a relationship between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, about conducting a unilateral foreign policy and about describing Iraq as an ‘imminent threat.’ They have misled the American people into believing we ‘outsourced’ the capture of Osama to Afghan warlords, all so that we could divert our military resources toward dethroning the unthreatening, benign regime of Saddam Hussein.
K: So much silliness here, I can barely outline it,
but in some modest way, I shall attempt it.
- WMD’S. Still don’t have them and never will. they
don’t exist.

2.There was no relationship between hussein and
bin laden.
never said there was
- we did outsource the capture to warlords.
proof? something besides a democRAT site
- there are literately a dozen regimes that are as bad
or worse, (in rankings done as to most oppressive
regimes in 2000, 2001, 2002, saddam would usually finish
from 5th worse to 15th worse. What about those regimes
who are even more oppressive then saddam’s was? Oh
yah right, Saudi Arabia is our friend and the others don’t
have oil. Sooooooo…
Now all this is an attempt to rewrite history.
the only ones rewriting history are the democRATS
IMP:"They have also been inexplicably sympathetic to murderous terrorists held in our prisons in Guantanamo Bay, fraudulently alleging that we have authorized and conducted their systematic torture. They want to provide full constitutional rights and Geneva protections to our enemies. And they have the audacity to lecture us about harming America’s image in the world, and causing Muslims to hate us and join the global jihad against us?
K: if they are murderous terrorist, then have a trial.
PROVE IT.
yes, military tribunals. if you want to pay moron democRAT extra tax for terrorist sympathy, by all means, the left wing democRATS can increase their own taxes 5000% and coddle terrorists all day. I say shoot the fuckers.
In open court with the world watching, show us
how they are “murderous terrorist”.
military tribunals will do exactly that. if the left wing terrorist sympathizers didn’t block bush at every turn, they would have been tried already. I know, we can restore them exactly how they were found (with machine guns ect. and turn them loose on the liberal mecca of san fran. they’d love that. boy you sure could convince them of the error of their jihad with your commie love-ins. [size=200]VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!![/size]
The U.S. can’t because
3/4 of gitmo are innocent of terrorism. I can show this because
of late the U.S. has released hundreds of people from gitmo.
You don’t release “dangerous people” from prison.
show the actual statistics please.
As far as torture goes you admitted you torture
when you had the army finally commit to the Geneva
convention and you are trying to pass a law in which
soldiers and others cannot be tried under international
law for torturing people retroactive to 2001.
no, the us doesn’t torture. we don’t cut off fingers, gouge eyes, saw off heads… keep your liberal head in the fucking sand
If you are so
innocent of torture then why have a law protecting soldiers
from international law?
if soldiers did it, they are prosecuted in american court
IMP: “I’ve tried not to respond in kind, but, folks, it is becoming increasingly difficult to prosecute this war with the barrage of self-serving distortions emanating from Democrats. So please do the responsible thing, honor the victims of September 11, help me to protect America, and throw these bums out in November.” …
K: To help a president who is losing three wars at the same time?
no, he is winning them all, much to your chagrin
I don’t think so. The only responsible thing is to hold the
president accountable for actions taken.
[b] YES! try it!! PLEASE TRY IT!!! can you say CIVIL WAR?!?
[size=200]VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!![/size][/b]
You know,
if he would take “personal responsibility” for actions taken.
But too admit you are the worst president in American history
is beyond this administration because
the truth hurts
