Did bush make a joke about attacking Iraq today?

SO everyone else can make jokes about it, but he can't? That's hypocrisy at it's best.
Personally, I won't be voting for him come election time, but I do like him more for being able to take a jab at himself. I don't think John Kerry even understands that humor exists.

I'm still waiting for you to tell us anything Kerry or you for that matter are actually FOR ... But all you seem to be able to do is tell us what your AGAINST.

Being AGAINST everything is not a plan ... All it does is show how little plan there is.

...don't belong here.

But gun clubs do ... LOL ...

I don't start these, but I can't let them go unchecked without SOME degree of reason.

I'm with you on this one. What the hell was he thinking?

Some day you'll have to explain to us how asking what a candidate has in mind for policies to take the country FORWARD in some direction classifies as rhetoric.

But as long as he's "nicer", I could see how this would be extremely important. ROTFLMAO.

And will the real ClarkE, please stand up.

Been there, done that ...

As the saying goes ...

When you're 20, if you're not a liberal you have no heart,
when you're 40, if you're not a conservative you have no head.

Fortunately in this regard I haven't been closer to 20 than 40 in some time.

I sleep much better now thank you ...

As far as Clarke goes, his testimony is self contradicting. Check the record. They're his comments, not rhetoric about his comments.

I supported the war. I also believe it worked out well. Did your muslim friends condone what was going on before we went there? If so I would say to find some new friends.

I can't sleep well at night knowing this administration is responsible for lying to us about Iraq, with the result of dead American soldiers.

So you have "PROOF" Bush lied to us? You better run to the newsroom then, cuz you will be the 1st.

There was no hidden agenda; we have wanted to get Saddam out of power since the Gulf War. We've been told, thousands of times during the Clinton Administration, about how Iraq'sa weapons were a threat to us; how he kept moving them around. I don't hear you calling Clinton a liar for us being misled at that time as well.
You claim to have "seen the light", and you say you are open mined; I say you are just as blind as all the rest of the Party Faithful people in the US.
The problem is that, if anyone is to blame, it's the Intelligence service. And we finally have a president with balls, who acted on the intelligence that has been given to us for over 10 years. No one has disputed the claims of Iraq's weapons until now. And everyone is playing the monday-morning quarterback, spouting "I TOLD YOU SO!", when in fact, they never said anything to counter those claims.

That said, I am not happy with the whole situation either. I could care less about the Iraqi people; I care about our soldiers. We should either pull our forces out of there, and let the Iraqi's deal with their newfound freedom themselves, or we should act like conquerors, and take all their damn oil we wish. But we are too politically correct anymore to do those things.

My reasoning for not voting for Bush this time has nothing to do with the Iraq war, cuz it wasn't his fault. His push for Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants is my reason.

But I fear how much worse off we'd be with Kerry as a leader.

Maybe we can just have a mass firing squad, and get rid of everyone in public office.

Old records can still bite!!!!

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten time since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI),
Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry( D - MA), and others Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others,
December 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weap ons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members.. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction
... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real"
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

SO NOW THESE SAME DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED--THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND HE TOOK US TO WAR UNECESSARILY!

Go Nader. :eek:
