Bob Gates 60min interview,

WELL BOB I hate to say this, but if you did not pick up on the massive lies of Rummy and the rest of the Bush crime family when you took over his job, you should not be qualified to be county dog catcher. Please explain why it was necessary to attack Afghanistan looking for ONE MAN. Apparently Rummy and the gang did not know the CIA had a vast network of covert operatives who could have captured Osama Bin Laden. In fact he was a former operative. So are weto assume you saw no problem with giving up looking for Osama and started slaughtering innocent women AND CHILDREN IN IRAQ. Come on Bob please don't tell me you believe Saddam had any WMD's that Ronnie and Rummy didn't sell him. I will say that you are not even close to the master lying BS of Rummy. Oh and yes I know why you could never admit any of this, so NEVER MIND.

Not only do you show a complete lack of respect for the former POTUS, you have obviously been well brain-washed by your media gods.

While I'm quite confident you will not be willing, or indeed, even able, to comprehend this, I'm going to answer you on this point:

So are weto assume you saw no problem with giving up looking for Osama and started slaughtering innocent women AND CHILDREN IN IRAQ.

Please reference: http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/bliraqreshouse.htm

You inference that President Bush had interest in "slaughtering innocent women and children" is beyond filthy. I suggest you read some facts concerning the Joint Resolution Authorizing the use of Armed Forces in Iraq.

Here are just a FEW snippets from the resolution...just a FEW:

Whereas Iraq, in direct and flagrant violation of the cease-fire, attempted to thwart the efforts of weapons inspectors to identify and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and development capabilities...

Whereas Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations;

Whereas Iraq persists in violating resolution of the United Nations Security Council by continuing to engage in brutal repression of its civilian population thereby threatening international peace and security in the region, by refusing to release, repatriate, or account for non-Iraqi citizens wrongfully detained by Iraq, including an American serviceman, and by failing to return property wrongfully seized by Iraq from Kuwait;

Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people;

Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens;

Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 (1990) authorizes the use of all necessary means to enforce United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 (1990) and subsequent relevant resolutions and to compel Iraq to cease certain activities that threaten international peace and security, including the development of weapons of mass destruction and refusal or obstruction of United Nations weapons inspections in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 (1991), repression of its civilian population in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 (1991), and threatening its neighbors or United Nations operations in Iraq in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 949 (1994);

WHEREAS is a silly political speak thing used to fool the dumbest among us. The truth is that the Bush crime family was going into Iraq with or without any silly UN resolutions. This was pre planned way before 9/11/01. Iraq had zero zip nada to do with 9/11/01. Iraq had just one thing we wanted, OIL.  

Not to mention American airliner hulks at a training facility South of Baghdad which a defecting Iraqi Army officer said were used to train terrorists (the cover story was that they used by the Iraqi Army to train in anti-terrorist operations! Yeah, right!) and have been identified byt the left leaning organization Global Security as being a terrorist training camp!

For crying out loud, I saw a CNN newsbabe use one of those airliners as a backdrop for her report in the early days after the liberation of Iraq!
