So Laci, in your view, what is the most likely explanation for this?

1) Bush deliberately lied to the American people about Saddam and al-Qaida.

2) Bush was "asleep at the switch" and honestly thought that Saddam and al-Qaida were working together.

3) Bush's speechwriters had information linking Saddam with al-Qaida, but the information was so top-secret that they didn't dare share it with the CIA.

4) Other (append your explanation here).

I'd rather choose from my own unbiased list and not yours'.

That would be option 4, Laci. Or do you not read the end of things either?

Isn't that what option 4 is for? Or do you not read, just like your hero, W?

I like the way you think, Flynn.

1- What right did we have to attack them without provocation? They could easily declare a war on terror and attack us then (since we started it) and it'd be a-ok by your logic.

2- Why the hell are we not after Al Qaida? Don't tell me we are, if we were then we'd be all up Saudi Arabia's ass..............15 of the hijackers came from there, etc etc etc........

Laci,

Please answer. You're dodging is quite boring and annoying, and you risk no one taking you seriously if you just make an assertion without backing anything up.

(perhaps her (Laci's) speechwriters are working on it....)

When is there going to be a more serious call to arms in America for making Shrub explain all his lies and deciets (sp?). To say "We didn't read it because it was too long and had footnotes", when the article you should have read could have decided wether or not to go to war, is analogous to a freakin 10 year old brat kid not doing his homework becuase it had too much reading.

This president makes me sick.

Unfortunately we seem to be turning into a nation of 10-year-old brats.
