Yes, unfortunatlly I have been aware of this. Also: Carnivore, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_(FBI)\n\nIt's going to get less easy to dig ourselves, (ie: the world ), out of this mess the longer there is not an overwhelming majority of humanity that does not accept being spyed on and treated like developmentally unevolved children. A good example of this in the the US is the fact that there is still not enough concern about individuals votes not having a direct effect on the presidential election. No, I don't mean who did or didn't win the last one, I mean the fact that the Electoral College was created because the majority of voters were deemed to be too uninformed and and lacking education to make a meaninfull decision in a national election. Apparently that is still the case. Those who support the E.C. can talk about how the process is set up, but the fact is, an individual vote carrys no legal weight in electing the Commander in Chief. Until something this obvious is noticed by the public-at-large, there is not too much hope for an issue clouded by the events that include the second week in September 2001.\n\nPray for the eyes of the world to have clear vision.

Because they are ignorant...They rely on the news media for their info and this is not a good source. Ask the men & women that have been over there to see what they tell you. A big change in Iraq since we went over there. We knew it would not be an easy undertaking but it had to be done or we would be in worst shape than we are now.

The word must be out that leaks will be anonymously taken at the NYT. I think both sides are leaking to the paper. Some things should be leaked, others shouldn't. It keeps the murky waters of our government slightly more transparent.

Yes there have been numerous documents and tapes released by the government implementing Saddam's regime talking about where to take the WMD's and how to lie to the UN.  I don't know where to get ahold of those documents though, I heard it on Limbaugh's radio show, try calling him he would undoubtedly know.  When I was there we found numerous empty carriers for large warheads and plenty of chemical and biological weapons.  But WMD's are not the only reason for Iraq, him supporting and paying terrorists is just like having WMD's.  There are many anti-American HUGE paintings on buildings displaying the bombing of America and many had mushroom clouds.  I believe since we told Saddam we was coming he got them out.  The terrorist network over there is crazy.  If you have any other questions email me

Getting the verdict on Saddam shows progress in Iraq, a victory talking point. The trouble is Iraqi violence may acutally be up now because Iraqis believe they can influence US elections. Add that to the verdict, and you have quite an incendiary mix. In other words, annoucing the verdict now will likely lead to more deaths in Iraq than announcing it next week would. But announcing the verdict now probably will get the Republicans more votes, which is all that matters of course.

i heard about this\n\na couple of days ago it was weird like 3 or 4 post came in just like this one "why won't liberals believe the truth about WMD's" and the like.\n\nApparently on fox Sen. R. Santorum went on and made these funny yet completely wrong claims that they found WMD's.\nWhat gets funnier is that Fox made a big deal about it, like a exclusive or special report.\n\nUnfortnatley, it was all not only misleading but desprate and sad.\n\nFor example the person posting this claims "500 WMD's" \nWTF right?   But they are not Nuclear or atomic or but canasters of musturd gas aquired before  1991. These are what would be and are considered convential weapons, note by the way they weren't used because they didn't work.\n\nWhat is also sad is the way the person phrased his statement "recently declassified"\nTo the average bumkin or tourist he could get away with lying like that.  but  March 2005 is more than a year ago.\n\nThe weapons we not usable. Deulfer had reported on these and still concluded in his final report that there were no WMD's\n\n\nThe dishonesty of the poster is pathetic because clearly these cansiter are not the reason our brave men and women in uniform have died.\n\nSecondly the presdient wasn't referring to cansiters of convenital weapons when making his case.\n\nThird the white house would have gloted had they found legitimate WMD.\n\nFourth Colin Powell is on record saying the UN speech was a sham.\n\nFifth, other than fox news, no legitmate news source will say this. \n\nhttp://mediamatters.org/items/200606230008\n\n Most uniformed, and gulible people,  "continue to ignore conclusive assertions of intelligence officials that the degraded chemical munitions found were not, in fact, in the category of "weapons of mass destruction" that the U.S. was looking for at the time of the invasion. They also ignore the Iraq Survey Group's (ISG) September 2004 final report (also known as the Duelfer report), which noted that degraded chemical munitions had already been found in Iraq, and that they were not proof of an existing chemical weapons stockpile or of a renewed Iraqi chemical weapons program. Indeed, former ISG head Charles Duelfer stated that the munitions hyped by Santorum and Hoekstra do not qualify as weapons of mass destruction, though they may still pose a local threat.\n\n\nMaybe next time right..\n\nPS Democrats were decieved into voting for the war, the white house present information contested by the CIA as fact...\ngo here truth seekers..\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/view/

There was on online article about just this!\n\nI think it is just journalists trying to make up fluff.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/110306K.shtml\n\nI didn't think anyone could be that crazy, but apparently the Republican majority required the Admin. to publish facts regarding pre-war intelligence to prove (politically) that Saddam had WMD's...and some fool put that info on the net in Arabic

"Right after the 24th."  That cracks me up! :o) Seriously, why would anyone compromise the security of a military deployment by posting it here?  Unless, of course, it's been reported by the likes of CNN.  And, in that case, search there.

It's funny how the media has not had more coverage of something like this. It should be the F ing story of the decade at this point. It's truely sad the administration didn't come out and make an official annoucement that there was WMD in Iraq and the war is justifiable. I wonder what the anti republ... excuse me antiwar people would say then.\n\n\nTo the guy above me, that is the most ignorant response I have ever heard. Approval ratings should be low the media has done nothing but report negative things for 3 yrs now on iraq and the adminstration so it's no wonder that everyone thinks everything is going wrong over there. Man nobody even bothers to ask the soldiers anymore how it is going, I believe they are the ones who would be able to give you the best idea. From what I hear morale is high and there are plenty of unreported successes going on over there. \n\nLier? You need to look up the definition of lier.\n\nYou suffer from the crystal ball syndrome.

We so badly screwed the pooch in Iraq that questions about planning scenereos are irrelevant.  It was amaturishly planned, poorly executed, and totlly unjustified.\nA campaign in Iran can only go far worse. They have had plenty of time to obsreve and study the US military operations in order to prepare for an offensive.\n\nAt home, support for the Iraq War wains even further as this country dissolves into civil sectarian war. \n\nI am thnking short of sabre ratteling, there is little the US can do about Iran, except make matters worse by making belocose statements in the UN.  It seems more like we have idiological  neanderthals instead of NEOCONS behind the scenes, only I think neanderthals would act with more intelligence.

That is the NEOCON agenda.  With the collapse of the Soviet Union, some bright men with nothing to do got tired of playing Risk, and graduated to Global Politics.  They concluded that in this power vacuum, it would be a really good idea for the US to assert itself while it had the chance, aiming at a kind of PAX or Power Americana, another name for world domination.  This all happened while we were all asleep, without our being consulted, and we now find ourselves trying to figure out how we got into this mess, the latest being Afghanistan and Iraq.  These guys are for real, and they are plundering along the way.  No one has ever succeeded at this throughout history, but they are giving it another shot,  as they figure by the time anyone catches on, they will be set and on their private island some where.  It is always the general population that has to suffer these guys, paying in blood, destruction, and chaos.  No one ever believes this can be until it is way too late.  The "big lie" has been used over and over for a very long time to cover this behavior up, and no matter how many times it is used, they always seem to initially get away with it.  They say if you don't know history you are doomed to repeat it, and here we are again.  That must be why we don't teach real history in our schools, so this kind of thing can happen.

No, I hadn't heard that. Please post a credible news link.

yes! If any of these stories would have came up on Clinton's watch, he would have been impeached before the next news cycle. After all, he was nearly ousted over a stained dress. Yet this prez has a gay male prostitute visiting him for 2 yrs and was it never even mentioned in the main stream media. A new, more damaging story is put out nearly everyday, and before it gets much discussion, its topped by a next new one and is never heard of again. The media was all over Clinton for a host of trivial things like Travel-gate, Whitewater, White House sleepovers and the like. Yet important things done by this administration, that effect EVERY ONE OF US are routinely forgotten. Torture, Katrina, Dubai Ports deal, Airport Insecurity, Haliburton, 9/11, Leaking of CIA agents identities, secret wiretapping programs, OSAMA BIN LADEN, and list goes on & on & on. Where is the media's outrage? Wheres the in-depth reporting? How can the Corperate Media accept the White House's canned answers as a replacement for facts? Get off your BUTTS and dig for the truth. Its not gonna be pretty but it is ESSENTIAL TO DEMOCRACY!!!

I likely know about as much as you do, planksheer. As with all such scandals, more details will gradually trickle out and we'll slowly become better informed. But what we know already is pretty damning.\n\nI believe admiralbob's first paragraph will be proved correct and, if so, it is crystal clear why bush was compelled to throw goss overboard last Friday. It's bad enough that these ANP sleaze with their hypocritical self-righteous moralizing engage in sex scandals that make their Democratic rivals look like choir boys in comparison, but to have a top intelligence official compromise an ongoing national security investigation due to his immoral conduct?! Jesus tap-dancing Christ, we can't have this shit going on! We're a nation at war, aren't we? Fighting evil-doers, right? Anyway, that's what The Decider keeps telling us...

I would like to see this plan too. Isn't it amazing how they were elected by simply stating they had a plan. No one made them accountable for their plan. I will say this, I pray they do have a plan and I hope it doesn't involve cutting and running. We owe our troops much more than that. God bless!
