Wait a minute. Were you about to ask me to define sexual relations?

I might buy that if around a thousand other things weren't true.

The problem is, The Downing Street Memos, combined with the Project for the New American Century, are very credible evidence that the Bush administration had already determined they were going to invade Iraq. The "bad intel" was a formality at best. Closer to the truth would be to say that it was part of the sales pitch.

Lesseeeee Now! 3,000 people lost their lives on 9/11, but we're losing 80,000 to 100,000 EVERY YEAR to MEDICAL MISTAKES, so what does the AWOL resident do? Why, he attacks a country that had absolutely no involvement in the attacks of 9/11, kills in excess of 1,000,000 innocent civillians in that country, loses over 4,000 American soldiers in the process, and still has no program to address the problem of preventable deaths due to medical mistakes.

What is most ominous in all this is that no major U.S. politician or institution, or any international body, has denounced this dangerous and deceptive move, nor have they called for an inquiry or investigation. Neither the U.S. Congress—now in session—nor any of its committees, all of them now controlled by the Democratic majority elected on an anti-war vote, took action.

With almost half the U.S. Navy hovering off the coast of Iran, this war provocation must be challenged and confronted.

The media is giving wall-to-wall coverage to both Democratic and Republican politicians campaigning in primary elections. Each of these politicians could and should be confronted on where they stand on this Pentagon fraud and what steps they personally plan to take to pursue the matter.

The corporate media in the U.S., which gave the story days of coverage, should also be challenged.

For three days before Bush departed on an eight-day trip to the Middle East, the media were full of denunciations of Iran by Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and top generals and Navy commanders, all denouncing Iran for a “dangerous provocation” and “a threat to world peace” based on this phony incident.

On arriving in Israel, even as the story was unraveling, Bush again threatened Iran and ominously warned that “all options are on the table to protect our assets.”

The U.S. Navy has now admitted that the video of the “incident” between the U.S. warships and the Iranian patrol boats was heavily edited and that the threatening voice on it warning “You may explode” may not have belonged to any Iranian sailors. Yet this video was the basis for the latest threats against Iran.

Who manufactured this video? Who spliced together completely different sound and video footage? Who signed off on it? Who distributed it to all the major media?

It was viewed and commented on at the highest levels of the bush administration.

This is hardly the first time that a manufactured U.S. crisis has launched a war.

Very well written story. A load of crap, but well written. Check out Care2 - the global network for organizations and people who Care2 make a difference! for the whole story on this U.S. Navy conspiracy...plus some great tips on non-toxic house cleaning.

Tis guy has already been ID;ed as prankster. Thats the reality. The voice is one that has occured over many years. These cowards can fear "put put" boats all they want. Clearly the real men of the Navy are not so easily scared.

Commissioner, you and others seem to talk about exaduration in the Bush Administration. Well you do the same. There is no where near HALF the US Navy in or near Iraq.

There are what 2 or 3 carrier groups in the area? Um we have I do believe 16 carriers floating on the worlds oceans right now. 3 is hardly half of 16. Plus you forget the Subs.

As for Bush lying about the reasons to go to war. Lets look at those shall we...one last time.

Saddam did not have direct involvement in 9/11. No one in the Bush camp says he did. What Bush said was he harbored, supported and help train terrorist. This is a war on terror remember, not a war on Iraq.

Saddam PAID the families of terrorist that blew themselves up in public places all over the world, not just Israel. Oh yea, you forgot about that.

Weapons of Mass Destruction. We know that some of those weapons entered Syria and Iran to avoid falling into the hands of the US. We know that France and Russia were selling Saddam military technology AGAINST the UN Sanctions. Which is the main reason France did not want us to invade. We know that Saddam used WMD against his own people in the early and mid 90's and was killing thousands of his own people for his own political pleasure.

We know a lot of things but you people twist the truth so it fits your own notion. It is NOT the war in Iraq. It is the War On Terror and it is attle for Iraq. And the 3000 Americans who lost their lives on 9/11 and the 4000 soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq and the 100's of soldiers who have died in other theaters of war across the globe deserve better than what you and your ilk throw up.

Sure the Bush camp under estimated the response in Iraq. Doesn't mean it was a mistake to go in there. Iraq is not Vietnam, they want to have their country back and to fight for themselves. So get a grip at least for the children of Iraq who deserve to have their own free country.

Democrats have been saying for 5 years Bush lied and still have no evidence. LOL

By Richard Willing, USA TODAY
NEW YORK — A federal judge in New York City on Wednesday found Iraq among those liable for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and awarded nearly $104 million to the families of two men who died in the World Trade Center.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Harold Baer marked the first time that a court had pinned some blame for the attacks on Iraq.

"That in itself is significant," said James Beasley, an attorney who represented the families.

"There's a bunch of (other) cases in process just waiting to see if we could convince a court (of Iraq's complicity). So now the principle is established, and we can get the families the money that they need badly."

Not sure what your beef is with me? At least I pretty much agree with the above.
