Saddam Was a Threat to World Peace

[bryant69]

There's an easy way to tell believable lies. When you are asked a question you can't answer honestly, simply rewrite it in your mind to a question you can answer and answer that question.

So in a Republican's mind, the question "Was world opinion solidly behind President Bush's contention that Saddam Hussein was on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons and allied with al Qaeda" gets edited to "Did world opinion consider Saddam Hussein a threat to the stability of the middle east, and a problem to be handled?" (Handled in this context is not just militarily; could also imply sanctions or inspections or other ways of moderating Saddam's goals). The answer to the first question is obviously no. The answer to the second question is obviously yes.

So if you are a Republican looking to defend President Bush, which question would you rather answer?

1. Speaking of not answering the question put to you...

I heard Karen Hughes on NPR yesterday afternoon. The host, Michelle Norris I think, asked Hughes something alnog the lines of, "why do you believe that a majority of the American people are against this war, why does it poll so low?" Hughes answered by talking about needing to finish the mission, help Iraq up by its bootstraps, etc.

Believe it or not, I don't blame Hughes for her answer. It's in her nature to be a liar, and if I were her, I sure wouldn't want to have to answer that question. No, I blame the utterly useless reporter, who, after her question wasn't answered, went right along to the next question.

2. It isn't that long ago when these lap dogs were attack dogs

(think Clinton era)

Which is why i am convinced todays' pseudo journalism is not caused by mere incompetence.

3. Yes, and Saddam is now in jail and the world is better.

Have a peaceful sleep everyone, the Middle East is quiet. Thank you Bush :rofl:
Wait a moment… I must glance under my bed, perhaps a bomb could be there :sarcasm:
