made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Now you're the one making things up. Correct! any connection between 9/11 and Saddam was made-up. Bush never made such a connection, other than to point out that 9/11 meant that we could no longer wait until threats became imminent. Bush and his crew constantly implied there was a connection to the point that an awful lot of people were fooled into thinking there was: Except that the administration repeatedly and explicitly said that there was *no proven connection*. They can't help what clueless people like you choose to infer, despite those statements. Uh-uh -- they came out to explicitly say there was "no proven connection" only *after* polls started showing that 70% of Americans thought there we And why would they do that if they were trying to convince people otherwise? You simply make my point. And this point, "Bush derangement" means "A strong belief that Bush didn't lie despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, often accompanied by drooling and sticking head in sand." No, I called it right the first time. You what do you do about dealing with the drool? Or do you deal with it? No drool, no problem. |

I've encountered Liberals that DO blame them on these incidences. : This is what happens when you adopt an "end justifies the means" : attitude as the : radical Leftist have. Nope, 'ends justifies the meens' is a right-wing tenet. Example: Shoot them all and let God sort it out. Wrong. To Machiavelli (1469-1527) is often attributed the statement, "the good end justifies the means". I am not aware of him using that phrase, even in Italian, but the idea is the thing. It is for this reason that Machiavelli is on the catholic Index (list of banned books). "The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end." Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) "The end does not justify the means. No one's rights can be secured by the violation of the rights of others." Ayn Rand (1905-82 ) Ayn Rand was a virulent anti-communist. John Dewey (1859-1952). This site contains much discussion and criticism of Dewey. He was a communist. "Dewey's life-theme was to destroy in men's minds the idea of the individual. Working towards that goal, he promoted the kind of education that would create docile men easily ruled, and he promoted the kind of government that would do the ruling - a statist government where any "recalcitrant minority" would be dealt with by violence. He called the destruction of the individual "new individualism," his homogenizing educational theory "progressive education," and his ideal socialist/fascist government variously "democracy," "socialism," and "democratic socialism." - "The following is from Dewey's essay "Means and Ends" which he submitted to the communist journal The New International (subtitled: "A Monthly Organ of Revolutionary Marxism") and which was published in vol. 4, Aug. 1938 page 232 (Later Works, vol. 13 page 349). Dewey discusses an earlier essay in the same journal by Trotsky. "Since Mr. Trotsky also indicates that the only alternative position to the idea that the end justifies the means is some form of absolutistic ethics based on ... some brand of eternal truths, I wish to say that I write from a standpoint that rejects all such doctrines as definitely as does Mr. Trotsky himself, and that I hold that the end in the sense of consequences provides the only basis for moral ideas and action, and therefore provides the only justification that can be found for means employed. (Page 350.) http://www.abelard.org/briefings/end...ns.php#trotsky : You taught me the true meaning of "cynical". You chose it on your own. As Lincoln stated, "people choose they're own level of happiness". Who said I "choose" to be cynical ? I said I learned it's meaning by observing the Left. : Cynical as in " selfishly or callously calculating ". |

(Eric Chomko) made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Nope, 'ends justifies the meens' is a right-wing tenet. Example: Shoot them all and let God sort it out. No, it's traditionally associated with the left (even when spelled properly), particularly the Stalinist left. And your example is idiotic (as usual), since it has nothing to do with the ends justifying the means. |

You simply make my point. Hardly. If you clicked on some those links that you overly conveniently left off: http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0314/p02s01-woiq.html http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...oll-iraq_x.htm http://www.zogby.com/NEWS/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1075 The complaint for a long time was that Bush and his crew were being deliberately deceitful about implying Hussein had something to do with 9/11. See: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title='A_war_sold_on_deception' Some particulars: President Bush sent a letter to Congress on 3/19/03 saying that the Iraq war was permitted specifically under legislation that authorized force against "nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001." In September 2003, Cheney claimed US success [sic] in Iraq is "a major blow right at the heart of the . . . geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11." In October 2003, President Bush claimed that the suicide bombers in Iraq were "probably both Ba'athists and foreign terrorists", explaining that "it's the same mentality, by the way, that attacked us . . . on September 11th, 2001.... And Iraq is a central part of the war on terror." http://tinyurl.com/9xhx5 And for a bonus: June 17, 2004. Vice President Cheney is being interviewed by CNBC's Gloria Borger: Borger: "Well, let's go to Mohamed Atta for a minute, because you mentioned him as well. You have said in the past that it was, quote, 'pretty well confirmed.' " Cheney: "No, I never said that." Borger: "Okay." Cheney: "Never said that." Borger: "I think that is...." Cheney: "Absolutely not. What I said was the Czech intelligence service reported after 9/11 that Atta had been in Prague on April 9th of 2001, where he allegedly met with an Iraqi intelligence official. We have never been able to confirm that nor have we been able to knock it down." But... On Dec. 9, 2001, Cheney was chatting to NBC's Tim Russert: Cheney: "Well, what we now have that's developed since you and I last talked, Tim, of course, was that report that -- it's been pretty well confirmed that he [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack. Now, what the purpose of that was, what transpired between them, we simply don't know at this point, but that's clearly an avenue that we want to pursue." http://www.thenationaldebate.com/blo..._borger_t.html Liar, liar, pants on fire. Some misc info: http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title='A_war_sold_on_deception' http://middleeastinfo.org/article3281.html And this point, "Bush derangement" means "A strong belief that Bush didn't lie despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, often accompanied by drooling and sticking head in sand." No, I called it right the first time. You what do you do about dealing with the drool? Or do you deal with it? No drool, no problem. Hmmm.... -BC |

Neither of them stated that Saddam was definitely involved with 911. |
