You make it too !@#$ing easy sometimes: "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." Ex-President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." Ex-President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 "Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Feb 18, 1998 "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 "[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998 "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 "Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 "There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 "We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons." Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002 "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002 "He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 "Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." Senator John Edwards (D-NC), October 10, 2002 "While the distance between the United States and Iraq is great, Saddam Hussein's ability to use his chemical and biological weapons against us is not constrained by geography - it can be accomplished in a number of different ways - which is what makes this threat so real and persuasive." Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), October 10, 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 "The essential facts are known. We know of the weapons in Saddam's possession: chemical, biological, and nuclear in time. We know of his unequaled willingness to use them. We know his history. His invasions of his neighbors. His dreams of achieving hegemonic control over the Arab world. His record of anti-American rage. His willingness to terrorize, to slaughter, to suppress his own people and others. We need not stretch to imagine nightmare scenarios in which Saddam makes common cause with the terrorists who want to kill us Americans and destroy our way of life." Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), September 13, 2002 "Make no mistake: Saddam Hussein is a ruthless tyrant, and he must give up his weapons of mass destruction. We support the President in the course he has followed so far: working with Congress, working with the United Nations, insisting on strong and unfettered inspections. We must convince the world that Saddam Hussein is not America's problem alone; he is the world's problem. And we urge President Bush to stay this course for we are far stronger when we stand with other nations than when we stand alone." Governor Gary Locke (D-WA), January 28, 2003 Democratic Response to President Bush's "State of the Union" address

Says the guy whose ideology hob-nobs with the notion that the "dumb chimp" masterminded 9/11.

Workin fine for me IE8 is a nice browser.

"Neocons" would APPROVE of all the spending, you half-wit.

I heard the workers at the Bank of Scotland were mocking the protesters and waving MONEY at them. Thats !@#$ing GREAT.

You mean when the US' security procedures for flying caught up with the REST OF THE WORLD? Ah, youre right. Who needs security, anyways? All those terrorists....oh...Im sorry...so-called terrorists...oh....Im sorry...."perpetrators of man made contingency events" are just misunderstood. Anyone here ever had their laptop and shoes "confiscated" at an airport? Bueller? Bueller?

Osama lives, there is nothing built at Ground Zero yet and rubes are walking around the US "getting tired of hearing about 9/11" That bearded !@#$er WON. We should all be ashamed.

!@#$ that Tom. Its a bad, bad comparison, and you know it. We had him. IN OUR SIGHTS, finger on the trigger. Special Forces were just waiting for the go ahead to storm the mountain and take him down. And were then told to stand down. We had the man responsible for 9/11. We had him. Im not saying we definitely would have succeeded, but we didnt even TRY. A National Disgrace.

Wrong.

Meh. I thought Freedom Tower was fine. And as long as they are not changing it becuase they fear the name would "offend" the sensibilites of some "group", I really dont care. But what they shoulod NOT call it is "One World Trade." One World Trade is DEAD.

Or how about just nuke the !@#$ out of the anthill they were hiding in in the days after? We could have did that and nobody would have said "boo." But no...some !@#$ing GENIUS thought having mercinaries.....Islamic mercinaries...do the job would be a BETTER idea. !@#$s.

BOMB NEW DELHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then LOOK at it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg8FQiJ-Rcw...feature=related

LOL...although sometimes I think you all misinterpret my sarcasm and sense of humor as stupidity or worse, racism...I still thought to myself "even I wouldnt write something that insane."

Hands down. Thread of the year. Maybe in TBD history. "Anyone with a 401K".......holy sh--. I mean.....HOLY sh--!!!!!!

I hate hockey so much, I'd drive Hitler's Mercedes to the bunker instead of going to a game. Good?

Youre spinning. BIG TIME.

"Get the !@#$ out of here, you !@#$ing cracker." Yeah....my wife thought that was a real hoot when some of her black students said that to her.

Maybe you should get out more.

I am, and I know where youre gonna go....headhunting. I understand the physicality of Hockey, I do. But the "cheap shots" just killed it for me. The CONSTANT fighting is a bit much but tolerable. But the "cheap shots" kill me. When you got players looking to take down and take OUT the stars on the other team, thats just bad. Ill never forget Dale Hunter taking out Pierre Turgeon. That turned me off to the sport right there. Yeah, you see that in other sports, but nowhere NEAR as much as you do in Hockey.

Oh....thought you meant that old HBO show, before Delta Burke got fat.

Its used by a race of folks to demean another race of folks. End of story.

They dont cover that becuase it ruins their headlines. Doesnt MATTER whether or not these folks "deserved" or are "owed" this money as part of their compensation package. All that matters to the media is the headline "RICH GUYS GETTING YOUR MONEY!!!!!"

No it doesnt...becuase the complaints lodged werent even based in reality. Case in point, the AF1 "incident."

And technically NOT the Fed's responsibility. Its barely the LOCAL Govt's responsibility. But the left got in such a tizzy becuase AF1 didnt LAND in New Orleans in the days following. THAT is what they focused on, of all the things. BUSH's Fed Response. Not Governor Blanco's ignoring the problem or Nagin hiding under his desk. BUSH. They focused on BUSH and his one soundbyte. Meanwhile, next door, Mississippi was back up and running while those in Louisiana were still whining about......BUSH. And "Chocolate."
