Uh drew, did you miss that first word MEMBERS. I wasn't implyng the entire intelligence community. Heck, it's hard enough to get2 of them to agree, let alone the entire group.

And i offered facts & links to proof of them. whats your point. Just because you don't like them doesn't make them not true.
This was a funny comparison that i decided to post. However, according to you, since i didn't list the author i'm plagarizing? Well than everybody that posts a link to an article that supports their position had better list the author or you will call them a plagarist i take it.

 

You've got to be kidding me...no way I just read that from a grown man in his 40's.

 

Martaug, all the information in the intelligence is compartmented and based on need to know. In the intelligence community, you are granted access only to compartments that you need in order to do your job, and on top of that, you also are only allowed access to the information from within that compartment that you need to know. Only very high ranking intelligence analysts whose sphere of influence encompasses Iraq and whose job requires them to have information about the status of Iraqi military capabilities would actually have access to sufficient information to make a judgment about the status of WMD in Iraq, and quite a few of that meager handful of people have talked.

 

Actually tal, it IS an "i'll do it when i feel like it" thing.
You(the poster,not you tal) just have to realise there will be an infraction given(maybe) if you do it. Just another little gamble in life, no biggie.

 

Actually, Martaug, this is Tal's place. Most of us try to be supportive of what he's doing here. It's just courtesy to respect what he asks.

 

Oh i understand that chandos, i was just pointing out that just because something is going to get you an warning/infraction doesn't automatically mean it's not gonna happen. Just that you have to expect the consequences.

 

That was perfect, joacqin.

 

Coming in late, but I can't believe anyone is seriously asking this question at this point in history. Have you been in a coma for the past eight years, Mortaug? No doubt the stains on Ms. Whoever's dress were fairly disgusting, but they're really not large enough to cover the thousands of dead in Iraq. Whitewater was probably criminal--how much was it?--millions?--covered up too. Would you like to compare it to the billions in no-bid contracts granted in Iraq? Or the shabby incompetence of the "clean-up" after Katrina?

When Clinton left the presidency we were at peace, there was a surplus in the treasury, and the economy was growing. The exact opposite of these is now true. I'm no great fan of Bill Clinton, but it is little short of moronic to argue that Bush's presidency has been more successful than Clinton's. He is, almost certainly, destined to go down in history as one of our worst presidents, possibly as the very worst. But then, there's no convincing a True Believer.
