Bush on WMD: None so blind as those who would not see



I have failures but don't need to go and kill INNOCENT CHILDREN and then cover it up. I am
comfortable with the fact that eventually the 2 biggest War Criminals today Bush and Blair will get
what is coming to them but not before they bother to lay the Blame elsewhere.

Lucky you that your side owns the nukes hey. And while your out there beating your chest, did you
front the enemy yourself or where you teh Armchair critic beating your something else.

So you were fine with Clinton bombing children in Belgrade. And you would have been fine with Saddam
in power today so he could continue to be filling his rape rooms and graves with fresh bodies.
 
No I wasn't happy with Clinton either but then I don;t understand why America is so hell bent on
saving teh worlds problems when it exists in its own backyard as well.

Saddam was a problem but then it was all a lie to get in there, really, you can't see that :) Come
on, there are other bad boys out there but America isn't concerned about them. No Oil. Or daddy
wasn't humiliated by not finisheing the job properly the first time. Don't give me this **** about
Saddams Regime. America funded it when it suited them. I am not yet sure that Saddam being out of
power today has saved any lives yet. I guess it has turned a country in on itself and will sort
itself out in the long run but after all the false truths we have heard about the reason to invade
Iraq, I really wonder how much of what Saddam did is actually true. If your concerned about him
killing his own people, isn't Bush responsible for allowing more people to go the Chair or whatever
when he was Guv'nor. Face it, the guy revels in death and if he stays, when he tires with Iraq and
Afghanistan, he'll move on to another country.

You don't have to like what I say. The truth hurts but as long as you hold the power and the cards
it's all right.

The same thing happened in WW2. But then it was called ******. "Jen" <[email protected]> wrote in message

Could that possibly be due to Clinton's recession? Pan Ohco

Oh yeah, blame Clinton.

Let's also blame Clinton for the missing WMD in Iraq.

Too bad Bush didn't make a complete list of all the bad things he inherited from Clinton when he
took office. then he could have warned the public.

It is hard to pin point when a recession starts.

The seeds of the recession may have begun during the last months of the Clinton tenure. However,
what is important is how the Bush regime acted on it. During election period, they said "RECESSION",
but once they got elected, they did nothing about it, prefering instead to meddle in international
affairs by abrogating many treaties (arms treaty with Russia, Kyoto, ANWR etc).

The republicans seem to only know one tool to control the economy, and that is tax cuts and spending
cuts. Although it seems that they have now learned that devaluating the USA currency works well,
even though it is a kick in the gonads for a country with so much ego. Of course, the bush regime
will deny devaluating the currency and will claim that it is its tax cut that had an effect. But in
reality, the US dollar was allowed to drop by the USA government as a desperate measure to bring the
USA economy back to life.

The USA government could have taken much different measures right after 9-11 to bring the USA public
and economy in good spirits.

Instead of sending billion dollar cheques to the US airlines (which would have gone to the
banks/lessors almost directly), they should have sent $100 vouchers to every americans that woudl be
redeemable on any USA airline flight.

As long as americans are scared of flying because of constant messages from their government about
impending doom, the USA economy will never recover. Boeing, all its contractors, the airlines and
all their contractors are a large economic engine that cannot be ignored. The capital amounts
involved with aircraft leases alone drive many financial institutions.

Back to Econ 101 for you...well, probably Econ 102. 101 delt with the very basic of basics, there
are a few more advanced topics mentioned here that you need to brush-up on.

The arms treaty was a thirty year old document with a country that no longer exists. It needed to be
trashed. Kyoto (The Third World Wealth Transfer Accords) had [properly] not been ratified by the
Congress. One cannot abrogate what does not yet exist. ANWR...... well, last time I checked the
Federal Government was not in the habit of entering into treaties with individual member States of
the United States.

Please let me know the last time a society taxed itself INTO prosperity.

de-valuing

Not a half bad idea, but I'm not convinced it would have the desired effect. There likely would have
developed a huge market speculating in these coupons at discount. In the end, perhaps 50% dollar
value might have found a path to the airline industry

Anyone paying a modicum of attention to the high tech industries could see before the beginning of
2000 that we were in the early stages of recession.

They can blame Clinton allright.

As long as they give credit to Carter for the so-called Reagan miracle.

"Now, let's imagine the future. What if he fails to comply, and we fail to act, or we take some
ambiguous third route which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of
mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the
solemn commitments that he made?

Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude
that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction.

And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal." Bill Clinton, speaking on Iraq and
Saddam Hussein - 1998 Listen to the Audio Clip: http://tinyurl.com/67rz

Now THAT would be a helluva lie.

I guess Bush didn't see it.

If he did why didn't he do something about the recession when he took office in January 2001?

The high-tech industry in California isn't out of any recession.

the number of people out of work in the country is outrageous.

Where are all the jobs that Bush was going to create?

So have I lived in the Bay area for a long time.

Don't go quoting the OFFICIAL unemployment rate. Their are thousands of people unemployed in
the country who are NOT COVERED in the official stats as they have exhausted their
unemployment benefits.

So, to quote you: "it seems to bother some people too much"!

There are highly qualified people with impressive credentials and multiple degrees in the Bay Area
that have been unemployed for over a year.

Oh, that's a shame. Maybe they can get a job in McDonalds.
