The wisdom of Rumsfeld

[RussSchultz]

You have difficulty distinguishing between opinion and facts.

Your link is to an editorial; i.e. some guys opinion/interpretation of what the Kay report says.

Just like your opinion as to what the Bush administration has said, I'd rather go to what was said and form my own opinion.

And personally, I find the Kay report saying there's enough proof of an ongoing program to develop these weapons that only removing the regime would have brought about.

I read the Kay report myself and came to the same conclusion. As did apprently every other news organization. Though somehow, the Bush administration seems to be the only one to think that the Kay report validates their claims.

Frankly you don't count. You'd believe the administration if they said the sky was green.

It is.

Every news organization, and the best you could come up with was an editorial from the Washington Post?

It wouldn't matter to you Russ. I could provide 50 news sources and you'd still say "That's all you could come up with?" or "Well they're wrong." We've had discussions about other things regarding this administration and you seemingly always unequivocably defend it, no matter what the issue. So this frankly your current stance doesn't surprise me.

 

[RussSchultz]

Well, your position is no doubt simply because you're a namby pamby liberal who can't think for yourself and simply opposes everything that the Bush administration supports.

See how pointless that bit of discussion can be?

I remember a discussion from a few months ago when I brought up roughly 15 quotes from various members of this administration (source: Time Magazine) all talking about Weapons of Mass Destruction in the lead up to war. Comments that today have been found to be false. Among them were the assertions regarding the Niger purchase, 500 tons of Chem-Bio agent, Mobile Units that could produce mass quantities of Chem-Bio agent, the ability of the Iraqis to get chem-bio weapons deployed in 45 minutes, etc etc etc.

I also seem to recall a very "who cares" attitude not only from you, but from Vince and Fred and a couple of other people as well with regard to the implications of the american public being lied to in order to sell a unilateral war.

If you want to see what I'm talking about, you can find the "Well Well Well" thread that I started.

p.s.: I never mentioned a word about you being a squishy wishy conservative. I just said you seemingly defend this administration no matter what the circumstance. Big difference.

 

[RussSchultz]

It certainly appears we had the exact same discussion months ago, with the exact same conclusion. Suprise.

It wouldn't matter to you Russ. I could provide 50 news sources and you'd still say "That's all you could come up with?" or "Well they're wrong."

Well, in this case, they were wrong.

Or at least basing their opinion formed from incorrect reporting, of course assuming that the editorialist got his information from the reporters of the news organization to which he belongs.
