They also found programs that were prepared to produce WMDs in less than a month, once ordered to begin.

Even if Bush himself suited up, ran into the mountains of Wiziristan and caught Bin Laden, that wouldn't have much effect on Al Qaeda's ability to wage war and mount terrorism attacks. It's possible to defeat Al Qaeda without ever catching Bin Laden.

You forgot that we put them in a cell and play heavy metal for them really loud, something I used to do to myself when I was about 16. We also deprive some of them of sleep, something I do to myself to this day. |

Bush is also a bad man. He's the reason why so many Iraqis are killed and why so many prisoners are tortured to death... Saddam maybe a bad guy to America(because he dosn't agree with America, a country that preaches democracy but act like a BULLY).. The rest of the nations hate Bush more than they hate Saddam. No matter where Bush goes, people call for his head.. which is testament to his popularity(the lack of it).

enough of brainwashing.. Have you searched the entire country and came to the conclusion that Iraq has weapon of mass destruction? It's just Bush's belief.. It's more like his religious belief.. Idiot thinks that he's doing what the God is ordering him. Oil is the reason why he attacked Iraq. Simple as that.

With personal freedom comes personal responsibility -- while we all like the freedom, not all grasp the responsibilities that go with it. |
this is another joke.. Should we believe the people who elected and reelected Bush as their president? Read this.

Urinating in one's mouth, malesting, and all sorts of ugly things are the worst form of torture.. I bet those prisoners would rather die than be tortured in that way.. that's truly torture, we all admit. |

| This can't normally be accessed without subscription, so I'll place it here as a quote. It's clear from this information that the decision for US troops to enter Iraq was far more complex than the gossip and slogans that our friend "Justice" chooses to believe. This is all old stuff to people who were listening to the pundits on the US news channels before the war began, although it's understandable that "Justice" wouldn't have heard them, seeing as Canada has a censored press and had forbidden cable broadcast of one of the main channels at the time. |
Oil and personal hatred toward Saddam..two reasons.. The drivel you quoted is what Bush will say and fools who voted for him will believe that. |

Who's on a rant now?
You may be interested in this:

| Actually, aside from the one-on-one meeting with Ahmadinejad, President Bush's policy toward Iran has not differed much from the one advanced by Barack Obama. In concert with Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany, we've offered lots and lots of carrots in the form of light water nuclear reactors, commercial aircraft, direct negotiations, and other goodies if Iran would agree to suspend enriching uranium. This offer was first floated in 2004. It was rejected. In 2006, a slightly altered package was offered. It, too, was rejected. And just last week, the Iranian regime reiterated that it would not cease enriching uranium no matter what "incentives" were dangled by the international community. Could it be that they want the weapons, not world approbation? |

twisted words and lots of rant by a dejected journalist.. I can show you lots of journalist writing McCain will be a third term Bush and Bush is the most unpopular president ever.. you may not like it or will rant again.
Obama has clearly said that he'll use diplomacy first, unlike the warmongers and blood-suckers Bushu and McSame. |
I love the way you accuse journalists of going off on rants for stating things in a civilized way. Usually when someone goes off on a rant, they can't control their spelling (if they're writing), they make wild, unsupportable statements (such as predicting the future with nonfactual evidence), and they use insulting names for people. This pretty well describes your writing, but it doesn't describe mine or the writing of those journalists you accuse of ranting.
These fortunetellers who pretend to know exactly what a McCain administration will be like don't really know anything. They're using a common campaign smear tactic against candidates of the same party as an unpopular president. Carter did it to Ford when he ran, and it was a very old trick then. It plays on people's prejudices.
You weren't even aware enough to notice from what I posted that the Bush administration has used nearly half a decade of diplomacy with Iran and that Iran has rejected it. Half a decade of diplomacy is hardly warmongering. Bush has used diplomacy first, and Obama is now claiming he'll use diplomacy first. If Obama becomes president, he'll be using diplomacy second. |
