Bush believed the intell in 02, went into Iraq looking for WMD, when the stockpiles didn't appear "he" was a "lier, stupid" etc.

He questions the intell in 07 and the SAME people are accusing him of the SAME thing, think about that.


I am pretty sure that the Bush administration knew it was bad intelligence anyway.
The old "cherry picking" line, can't prove it but still believe it, fair enough.

Oh, of course you are in essence free. You can do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean that society or the law won't intervene and haul you off to jail/prison. That isn't free if you ask me. As an example, that's like saying in an oppressive dictatorship that has no free speech that you can in essence speak freely, so you're free. The truth is, if you are caught, you would be punished. That is not what freedom is.
I don't know what all that has to do with smoking pot, but I will say again ; you can move one of several states, smoke all pot you want and nobody will care. If you are smoking where it's illegal that's your choice, you have the freedom to do either one.



Maybe it's not true that their nuclear weapons program was disabled in 2003 (or 2004, whatever they said). You don't believe it, that's ok. I am not saying it is for sure correct in everything it says. However, since you do have the ability to be logical, then it's pretty safe to say that what you say about Iran could very well be false also. Tell me, though... what makes you think they aren't lying? Why do I think they're lying, or have bad intelligence?
I don't "know" if they are lying, but the evidence suggests that they are hiding "parts" of their program. If they weren't looking to use their nuclear program for weapons, they would cooperate with the IAEA and follow the South Africa, Libya (and in the process North Korea) models.


Well, look at the history of the Bush administration. My point is, you're knocking down the Al Jazeera report on it and don't believe it, yet you believe the garbage coming from FOX News?
Now who's "cherry picking"



Isn't it a bit hypocritical for you to criticize me about believing what I want to believe,
I'm not criticizing you, I'm talking to you.
FOX News is not a credible source for news... there are many, many people here that can back me up on this.
Translation,the "echo chamber' is on my side, c'mom, you're smarter than that.
