Point taken. I’m more of a Liberal Republican…there’s no such thing, officially, you get to make it up as you go along…🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tee \* > \*\*Point taken. I’m more of a Liberal Republican…there’s no such thing, officially, you get to make it up as you go along…🙂 \*\* Thats the problem- when you only agree with half, at best, with any major party is saying or doing. I swear, during many an election “None of the Above” would have been the most tempting choice if available. When the hell is John McCain going to run? Its too bad the pubbies Corporate Masters picked the easily controlled Curious George over McCain. ☹ It didn’t always agree with the man, but I always respected him and thought he was doing his best for the country, and not his party and their campaign contributors. I guess that’s the difference between a real war hero and a coward who used his daddy’s influence to dodge the war. Ah well. . . ---

Oh here is the new Spin Control on the WMD disaster: > [@](#): > > “If we are wrong, we will have destroyed a threat that at its least is responsible for inhuman carnage and suffering,” Blair said Thursday in a historic address to Congress. “That is something I am confident history will forgive.” Curious George’s version: > [@](#): > > “Given Saddam’s history of violence and aggression, it would have been reckless to place our trust in his sanity or his restraint,” Bush said. “As long as I hold this office I will never risk the lives of American citizens by assuming the good will of dangerous enemies.” [http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030718/ap\_on\_go\_pr\_wh/bush\_blair&cid=544&ncid=716](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030718/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_blair&cid=544&ncid=716) Interesting choice. Although later the two stooges claimed that WMD will be found any day now. Still, it is clear this is just another attempt to deflect attention away from the WMD & faked document disaster. Time will tell if anyone but Fox News and the rabid apologistas will believe it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tee \* > \*\*This particular cycle of media attention to different aspects of the uranium issue by itself does not help or hurt anyone’s case either way, imo. It’ll support some of what you’ve been saying, what I’ve been saying, some of what this one or that one thinks… > \*\* Well words can be spun around in all sorts of ways, but at the end of the day, they don’t prove anything. Instead we waste our time and resources playing a game of semantics (in the media, on this board, etc), while the real issues are swept under the rug. \*\* > [@](#): > > my major problem is with the different media reports themselves. They make assertions, draw conclusions, raise questions…an _unnamed_ official, _close to_ the intelligence community, strictly off the record…etc etc. It’s maddening after a while if you’re a sincere news junkie, to have to wade through what is news and what is more likely campaign fodder. \*\* Yes, I’ll agree with you, however all the confusion and conflicting reports lend more credibility to my argument then to yours.
