Well, it's the Washington Times, isn't it. As far as I learned, the New York Times and the Washington Post are respectable papers, while the Washington Times and the New York Post are yellow press.

There are two issues here.

1. Is the allegation true?

2. Was it wrong?

I have a real suspicion that you debate number 1, with the plan to retreat to 2, if it bears itself out. So let me pin you down. IF TRUE, was it right? Should we look at the French with approbation because of this? Or is this all OK?

Well, I'm glad that they hung by the neck. Wimpy Tuetopacifists probably think we were brutes for doing that...

My how the status of the Poles has risen

I hope they sell their experimental submarine designs to the North Koreans.

I'm on a troll roll. Don't try to derail me.

Who cares what they think? I don't mean any offense... well maybe a little, but why do you care what certain other people think? IMO, you over-exaggerate peoples' importance when you care what they think.

If TRUE, it would be a scandal. But I think it's a hoax.

Well stated. And I agree.

Thinking again, as suggested, the only possibility, if the French are connected to this matter, is that they have delivered to Saddam an English passport, not perfectly authentical, but Saddam could not make difficulties. And soon, Tony will have to explain to GB what he did with the billion.

I anticipate that the next visit of Tony to the ranch will be slightly delayed. :

Now, Davout, that would be clever!

1. Has anyone read the articles that point out that the Bush administration had designs on Iraq prior to 9/11?

2. Why do people expect France or any other country to do what we say? Should we do what they say?

3. I think that the question we(Americans) should be asking ourselves is do we want to be an empire or democracy that is strong enough to defend itself and yet not bully countries unfairly. Who is wiser the founding father's or Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rice and etc. One group clearly wanted us to avoid entangling alliances and wars.

4. If anyone knows anything about the formation of Nazi Germany and The Empire(Star Wars), don't we share some similarities to their formation?

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.

You know, you had it going great, until you plugged in that silly Star Wars reference, Pax.

Some of this stuff is a great read.
