N3CVJ denies failures, while Presidential Commission admitsfailures.
How many links do you need, Dave?
Here are a few more, just to keep you entertained. From the Times wires: Before the Iraq invasion, the Bush administration asserted that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons and was developing nuclear weapons. Officials also allege Iraq was working on prohibited long-range missiles and drones that could disperse biological agents. The presidential intelligene commison examined each of the US intelligence community's prewar assertions on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and reached these conclusions: Nuclear Weapons: Wrong Analysts wrongly interpreted the purpose of some metal tubes Iraq tried to import, arguing they were for centrifuges to enrich uranium when they were for conventional artillery rockets. Other imports of materials with more than one potential use were also similarily misinterpreted. Biological Weapons: Wrong Agencies trusted several Iraqi defectors who were lying, ignoring inconsistencies in their statements and other warning signs that these defectors were providing false information. Chemical Weapons: WRONG The intelligence committe drew its conclusions from satellite photos of trucks and buildings and other sources that were suspicious but ultimately ambiguous, and trusted human sources who made claims that Hussein had accomplished things that are technically impossiible. WMD-Armed Drones: Wrong Analysts concluded the drones were for WMD based on limited information; Iraq;s drones turned out to be for reconnaissance. Hussein's Intentions: Wrong Intelligence agencies did not seriously consider Hussein could have given up his WMD ambitions and destroyed his stockpiles. Although several intel sources asserted before the war that Iraq did not have any WMD, US analysts have regarded this as disinformation. End of Times wire report. -- Want more, Dave? The list is endless but these should have you spinning your wheels a bit more than usual since your first knee-jerk reaction was to deny any Bush failures, then beg for examples. |

Dave "Sandbagger" ********* try this link. http://www.unmovic.org/ It is gives all the reporrtts to present of the "on goning inspections" This is the link to the UN Security Council Working Document as presented to the UN Security Council on Mach 3 of 2003. Please pay attention to Annex 2. It is quite revealing. It in fact shows how well the UNSCOM inpsections were working prior to being booted out in 1998. http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/new/..._programme.pdf We may never know how much there really was or how much was destroyed. But it is now becoming a foregone conclusions that the large potentials that Colin Powell claimed in his Power Point Presentation on Feb. 5, 2003 are at best in retrospect worst case analysis. Did this administration inflate the potentials of WMD? Maybe not, but they did harp extensively on the worst case potentials. As time has shown the reality is that either Saddam destroyed alot just before the invasion or there never were the large stock piles of WMD that Bush and company had envisioned. There are more links. You can also start at www.fas.org. Look not for just what supports ones belief but look at all the facts presented. In between the two extremes will really lie the truth. IF you start to dig further into the past, you may starrtt to derive some other conclusions. I came to an understanding in late 2002 that Iraq and any invasion was not about WMD or OIL. It is far more deeper. The true paranoia that this administration has is a great fear of a large Islamic state existing from Pakistan to Syria. Including Iran, Iraq, Saudia Arabia and a few others. Just think what if Radical Islam controled over half the oil production in the world? james |

Dave "Sandbagger" Hello, Dave Since being in contact with a few friends who are so severely on the extreme right, I have found the best way to get news is *outside* of the United States. Whatever article is written here, it is dismissed as work of the demonic liberal left. I have found the U.K., Canada, and Australia to be pretty nifty places. Of course, the world is just loaded with the liberal left ... :)) Hitler did a pretty good job convincing his people as to what was right and wrong. I am not so easily persuaded. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |
Jim:
You hit on the heart of the matter there, don't count on getting any news which is accurate, unbiased or of assistance to the American public... either threats or bribes control the news... but it ain't good...

That would not be a good thing, and our efforts in trying to prevent it from happening is probably a good thing. Just think what if Radical Islam controlled over half the oil production in the world? So if that is the case, are we not justified in trying to prevent it from happening? Do we have to wait until the "west" (Which includes more than just the U.S,) is brought to its knees economically before we act? How much bloodshed could have been averted if Hitler had been taken out of the picture in the 1920's? Does the average citizen need to know, or have the capacity to understand, the complete truth assuming we can definitively identify it amongst all the free flowing propaganda? Dave "Sandbagger" |

Dave "Sandbagger" Hello, Dave Since being in contact with a few friends who are so severely on the extreme right, I have found the best way to get news is *outside* of the United States. Whatever article is written here, it is dismissed as work of the demonic liberal left. There is a great deal of truth in that. The major news media has been infiltrated, as have much of academia, with the followers of left leaning politics. This has been going on in ernest since the 60's and the Vietnam war, when it was realized that the only way for a small political minority to win their objective of large scale governmental reform, was from within through slow, careful indoctrination and propaganda. The two best places to achieve that goal are in the agencies which bring us the news, and the institutions which educate our impressionable young. It had been working fairly well, until the advent of the internet, talk radio, and independent news services such as Fox News. The ability to cross check the news and parse out the spin, essentially put the spotlight on the mainstream news media, and people like Dan Rather and Jayson Blair. Exposure of such radical leftists in teaching roles such as Ward Churchill, and countless others, is slowly revealing the true intentions of these seemingly unconnected (except for ideology) people. The rise of conservative groups and watchdog organizations to balance the prejudice of the left on university campuses, will hopefully slow and eventually correct much of the damage that the left has done in the last 30 years. I have found the U.K., Canada, and Australia to be pretty nifty places. Of course, the world is just loaded with the liberal left ... :)) You have to understand that in much of the world, especially in the socialist-leaning countries like France and Germany, there is a decidedly anti-capitalist, anti-US slant. So if you think you will get an objective news piece from any of them, you are seriously naive. As for the U.K., Canada, and Australia, they are more balanced but depending on which factions are backing the "news", you could be reading either left or right wing slant. It helps to dig deeply into who backs these groups in order to determine just how "objective" they may or may not be. Hitler did a pretty good job convincing his people as to what was right and wrong. Yes, and just like Hitler blamed all or most of Germany's problems on the Jews, so to are the operatives on the left trying to blame most of America's problems on rich, God respecting, white people. I am not so easily persuaded. Neither am I. Dave "Sandbagger" |
