Usually, I leave you Americans to argue amongst yourselves (it’s almost hilarious, until I think of our own debates), but I’d rather you didn’t twist Israeli history to do it.

The critical error during the Waxman operation wasn’t that the rescue party didn’t know that Hamas gave orders to kill Waxman in case of attack (they reasonably assumed the worst case). The error was that the explosive used to break open the door was faulty, which gave the kidnappers far too much time to recover. When you correct others, it’s best to be accurate yourself.

For problems with your post, try refreshing the screen. It’ll appear like magic. Even leaving and coming back doesn’t necessarily make it happen. You must refresh. Smae thing when you want to see responses and new posts. You must refresh the home screen, and when you go to the articles, refresh again. The system doesn’t automatically refresh itself. Kinda stinks, pardon the pun.

#112 Graham L. – You’re referring to out-of-date articles. We found 500 tons of yellowcake uranium in Iraq in 2003, but didn’t get it out of country until Oct, 2007, when we sold it to the Canadians. Some was capable of ready production to weapons grade.

Of course, Bush, being a responsible President, didn’t just rush right out and tell the world. Politically, it would have been great for him, but as President, it would have been irresponsible until we had properly disposed of it all and ensured there was no more WMD of any kind, personal popularity be damned. He voluntarily took the political hit in order to do the right thing.

Alas, my dearest ~Paules, you are a bit off here, that is a generation – unfortunately the left won, won by controlling the education system and the passive entertaniment system.
America is not anymore a country of selfsufficient and individualistic trappers, homesteaders, pioneers or other variations of self-sufficient types – panem et circense is all, the risk-free employment has completely replaced the enterprising spirit, the youth is modeling their aspirations according to the whims of some “American Idol” despicable figures, precise and critical thinking has been replaced by fuzziness and open-mindedness, the manliness has been replaced by vulnerability, individualism has been replaced by collectivism and willed mediocrity, etc. etc.

No matter how much I hate what I’ll say, I think the Democrat Party and its throngs of “clients” (client in the originar sense of the word, i.e. person dependent on handouts), that keep it in power has entered its real Golden Age – and this for a long period, if not for ever.

Smoke crack, much ? I’ve seen many “documents” denying that there were ever death camps in Poland. Should I believe them ? Any scrap of paper that you write on with your crayons becomes, by definition, a “document”. I prefer to believe the Iraqi intelligence documents which have been translated and puiblished since the war’s end, which highlight your cluelessness.

“The Sept. 11 commission reported yesterday that it has found no “collaborative relationship” between Iraq and al Qaeda, challenging one of the Bush administration’s main justifications for the war in Iraq.

Along with the contention that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other top administration officials have often asserted that there were extensive ties between Hussein’s government and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network; earlier this year, Cheney said evidence of a link was “overwhelming.”

But the report of the commission’s staff, based on its access to all relevant classified information, said that there had been contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda but no cooperation. In yesterday’s hearing of the panel, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, a senior FBI official and a senior CIA analyst concurred with the finding.”

You’re either an inveterate liar or just pathetically ignorant to write something so patently false. Actually, we know for a fact (and have for quite some time) that Saddam was up to his armpits in funding/supporting terrorists (AQ being only one of them). His WMD programs were alive and well, stockpiles or not, and ready to be kickstarted the moment sanctions ended.

“Saddam Hussein did not possess stockpiles of illicit weapons at the time of the U.S. invasion in March 2003 and had not begun any program to produce them, a CIA report concludes.

In fact, the long-awaited report, authored by Charles Duelfer, who advises the director of central intelligence on Iraqi weapons, says Iraq’s WMD program was essentially destroyed in 1991 and Saddam ended Iraq’s nuclear program after the 1991 Gulf War.”

“L love how leftists come to this site and display their grotesque ignorance of just about everything. It makes me feel all smart and stuff.”

And I love how easy it is to school ignorant right-wing nutcases by debunking their right-wing bull**** with well-documented and corroborated evidence.
