    1. At Powell's UN presentation, he stated that our intel had found that Hussein was supporting "terrorist organizations." It turns out this was plagiarized from a post-grad poli sci student's journal article.

    But in the original, Hussein supported "opposition groups."

    One at a time, boy, one at a time.

    Yeah, but if it causes war, it's probably treason.

    I expect this s*** on tax plans, or health coverage. Not on war.

    My turn...let's throw all of the 9-11 references into one lie. We don't want to crash the server by finding them all.

    So you admit the war is nothing more than an agenda item?

    Bush, Nixon, LBJ - lied about people dying in a war.

    Clinton - lied about whether or not an intern gave him a **************.

    Somehow, I prefer the latter to the former.

    Is the 'Osama's tape conclusively shows he's in league with Saddam,' part of the 9/11 lie, or is it part of a separate overarching al-Qaeda alliance lies category?

    That's a toughie.

    I would have to put that in the al-Qaeda alliance category.

    I consider that a separate lie, and that reminds me....

    Various Bushies have mentioned AQ fighters in Iraq, while leaving out that they're in the Kurd controlled portion of Iraq. I consider that a lie, altho others might consider it merely a misleading omission. The reason I say it's a lie is because this is always mentioned in the context of a "get Saddam" rant.

    Maybe the Bush administration got that idea from this guy:

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/gunning/interviews/khodada.html

    It is ironic to note at the time this came out US officials said it was unlikely that these are related to September 11.

    With regards to this one, is it not true that Iraq has in the past supported Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations?

    I mean we can all call Hamas an "opposition group" all we want just because we want to kiss face with some of the Muslim countries of the world but they are a terrorist organization in my mind.

    Documents produced by US and UK governments showing an Iraqi attempt to buy uranium from Nigeria were shown to be forged.

    This could either be a mistake or a criminal attempt at fabricating evidence. I don't know which.

    Bush hasn't made up his mind on war.

    This has the makings of a 500 page thread.

    OK, this is before January, but it's a good one.


    Sandy Berger never talked to me about al-Qaeda

    Too many to list...

    Okay I'll list one:

    Satellite imagery - ammo storage bunkers which Powell claimed were used for chemical weapons that were moved out prior to inspection.

    (UN inspectors examined them and found nothing suspicious. "Sniffers" used by inspectors can detect the past presence of chemical and biological weapons.)

    They blow up an al-Qaeda held cave in afganstan. In it besides dead al-Qaeda they founded forged ID passports and alike. They were able to trace those papers to Iraq.
