Blix Continues To Use Up ALL Of His Fifteen Minutes
"Advertisers will advertise a refrigerator in terms they do not quite believe in but you expect governments to be more serious and have more credibility," Blix said. This gem is from an article by Mike Wendling, CNSNews.com London Bureau Chief.
Matt's Chat:
For a professional in the arms inspection industry, this guy acts like he's never done government work before. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mr. Blix had a perfect opportunity to tell the world that he thought Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and chose NOT to do so. 17 UN resolutions tell it differently though, not that that means anything to Mr. Blix.Mark's Remarks:
Why are we still talking about this idiot? He is bascially admitting that he misled and misinformed the UN, now, 17 resolutions later and 12 years later. Ridiculous. Go home to Belgium and have some friggin waffles. The man has basically told us with this whole line of "they destroyed weapons in 91 that he has no credibility, because there are his statements on record during the time of those resolutions saying that he believed and had intelligence that there were such weapons. The man is a hack and is a disgrace.....Bush: No Saddam-9/11 Tie-In
President Bush said today that he had seen no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, as the White House tried to correct an assertion that Vice President Dick Cheney left extremely murky on Sunday. Mr. Cheney, on "Meet the Press" on NBC-TV, was asked about polls that showed that a majority of Americans believed that Mr. Hussein had been involved in the attacks. This from a story posted by the New York Times by David E. Sanger.
Matt's Chat:
I think further clarification of the administration's motivations for launching Operation: Iraqi Freedom is a good thing. I do think the American people have come to the conclusion (right or wrong) that Saddam had some role in 9/11. It is about time that the administration comes forward with a statement that clears this up. This makes a stronger case for Iraqi Freedom as a fulfillment of the Bush Doctrine as opposed to 9/11 retribution. Terrorists, and those who support them, are to be brought down so that another 9/11-type event is less likely to occur again. That is the Bush Doctrine, the American people support it, and there is a coalition of nations that support it.Mark's Remarks:
I do not like the thinking of the Bush Administration. Instead of patently denying it, they should say they have no info, but find it curious. Instead, they are saving themselves the short term militant press reaction that this is just another tact in trying to justify the war in Iraq. I, however, due to reading several books by investigative journalists, believe Iraq did play a role in September 11th. There is enough circumstantial evidence, with Iraq providing a training ground with a 707 jetliner to be used to train terrorists (Losing Bin Laden, Miniter) which tells me they had a role. Not to mention Saddam's offers to pay the families of these terrorists if they died killing Americans. Also, people fall prey to the religious argument, that saddam being a non-shia and secular ruler would cause al-Queda to not work with him. Please do not be fooled, these people are not religious devotees. They selectively follow certain passages to their own evil ends. They talk about women wearing burkas, but most terrorists from 9/11, from the 1993 attacks, from the USS Cole, and others, frequented strip clubs and drank considerable sums of alcohol, both of which are outlawed by strict muslim law. Therefore, in order to get Saddam's money, wouldn't al-Queda be willing to work with someone who shared their megalomaniacal hatred of America and Israel? I think so. Also, people think Usama is funding this whole thing with his own wealth. Most of his wealth has been seized or tapped out. He needed financial backers. Why not go to one of the wealthiest dictators in the world? I believe there is a connection, and I hope Bush finds it before election time, or I fear the venomous hate spouted by the supposed liberal caring people will turn America. I believe it was Josef Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, who said: " If you tell a lie loud and long enough, the people will eventually believe it." Well, I fear the Howard Deans and Clarks and the other 8 with their hate filled message but no ideals will do the same thing.Illegal Aliens Get Driver's Licenses in California
Your driver's license, which is the closest thing the United States has to a national identification card, just became less valuable as a means of identifying who you are and as a tool for law enforcement. This is the opening statement in an article posted on Fox News written by Matt Hayes.
