Here We Go Again....

A Bush campaign spokesman countered that Kerry himself has said Hussein "supported and harbored terrorist groups." And Cheney's spokesman pointed to a 2002 letter written by CIA Director George J. Tenet stating that "we have solid reporting of senior level contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda going back a decade" and "credible information indicates that Iraq and al Qaeda have discussed safe haven and reciprocal non-aggression." Cheney's office also pointed to a 2003 Tenet statement calling Zarqawi "a senior al Qaeda terrorist associate."

 

The iraq study group is not the final authority on these matters. And the same people that are using this report to malign the President as a liar once made the same claims as the President with the same passion. This report has become propoganda to gain political power. It means very little to me.

 

This is an over simplification intended to avoid the issue.

 

The mistake being made here again is to think the iraq study group cannot be in error. And you do not know why I disregard anything.

 

Where did "Bush Bashing" come from? this is the first it has been mentioned in this conversation. What seems to be convenient for you is your ability to determine why people take the view that they do without having actually heard it from them. Assumptions are based on a false understanding and usually from having decided that the options are fewer than they actually are. And in most cases an inflated opinion of peoples own views.

As far as disregarding the Iraq study group, we had years of intelligence and screaming about ties with Al qaeda. And this came from the those who now use this report to call the President a liar. The more the President is called a liar the less credible these folks are.

But the left is grabbing on to this report as the end of the conversation so as to use it as a political tool to gain power. The left said one thing for years and now they have become hypocrites in such a blatant way. But the Iraq study group did not say that there was absolutely no connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda:

Thank you.

After all the whining and tattling is over, maybe someone can get back on topic.:thumbs:

 

You noticed this too, did you.

I doubt you will ever see one either.

 

Ask Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz they were always good at finding evidence that no one else could and get military spending increased for their pards. From non existant silent Soviet sub sonar in the 70's to non existant ties between the CIA/ISI created Al Qeada and Saddam in 2001.
