Solid proof that Sen. Boxer is a liar or ignorant

*sigh*

Critical or not, I am answering the Admiral's question as to whether we should've done nothing. I am saying, no, we should do something, but should be more willing to work with the UN. :rolleyes:

Although I agree that there should be certain criteria to earn the priveledge of being on the security council.


Question - if we cooperate with the security council and bend over backwards for them how can we ever expect them to change?

I say stir up the pot and explose the flaws.

Dwayne, I owe you an apology.

By concentrating on just this comment ....

SEN. BOXER: Well, you should read what we voted on when we voted to support the war, which I did not, but most of my colleagues did. It was WMD, period. That was the reason and the causation for that, you know, particular vote.


... I got the impression that her comment could be taken a couple of ways.

When I stopped being lazy and read the whole resolution, I "got it". Anyone making the claim that the war "was WMD, period", either failed to read what they voted on or are trying to be deliberately deceptive to the American people.

Sisko, would you call France, Russia, Germany, etc., etc. etc, supplying arms and WMD to this regime a scandal or is that criticism reserved only for the US?

Indeed it is a scandal. Anytime a nation professing to abhor terrorism and supplying terrorists is not only hypocritical, it's a scandal.

I understand what you are saying, but its not very practical, you are saying that because of past mistakes we can never rise above them and do the right thing. Might as well give up now.

Show me where we supplied WMDs to Iraq.

I've seen three different blogs that have claimed that the US supplied Iraq with Anthrax, and the closest to proof is that one German newspaper claimed to have seen a document.

Sounds like "full capitulation" mode to me. It'll never get right, so let's just leave Iraq. Let's surrender to al Queda, et cetera.

Yeah, I said surrender. You guys need to focus on what was said rather than what you think it means.

You implied that because we gave WMD to Iraqi and supported Saddam, we are now being hypocritical for wanting to stop him and take him out of power. If that’s not what you are saying – you should be more clear.

So Boxer is asking probing questions of Rice. Good.

She's a slippery , devious and cold and calculating customer and is a poor choice.

I hope I'm reading your post right. It is a given that Senator Boxer is a slippery, devious liar - those qualities are prerequisites for being a powerful politician in the USA.

Condoleezza Rice is more intelligent, more slippery and more devious than any sitting US Senator I can think of. I still hold it against her (Rice) for shamefully lying for the boys when she pretended that she forgot about the "FACTS" in the President's State of the Union address

Lying for a group of warmongering liars - she'll (Rice) make a fine Secretary of State.

Dan: You obviously haven't been paying attention. I stated to AB that we should do something about Iraq, but be more cooperative. My statement about hypocrisy is in regards to the Reagan administration both aiding and fighting terrorists.
