You got your commie spy bug planted in the situation room again. How was the issue raised?

I again go back to my previous discussion.
"Bob Woodward, in Bush at war, writes that on September 12, the National Security Council had two meetings. During the second one, D. Rumsfeld raised the question of Iraq; he asked why the US would attack only Al-Qaida and not Iraq. And he made the assumption that they could take advantage of the opportunity offered by the terrorists attacks to attack Saddam immediately."
Raising the question is not the same thing as advocacy. Do you have a better quote from the book?"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Ah, but Rummy did say we should go after Iraq
Is that accepted, known or thought to be true by the Commission?
I ask because I really would like to know why they didn't furrow their brows when Rice said something contrary to that.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Dr. Rice said a lot of something's like that. Follow DrosDar's links on the first page of this thread.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

That still does not make a case for advocacy. It is a statement of opinion/fact."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

*sigh*
So if I said, "We could rob a bank..." and then we just happen to rob one, I wasn't advocating it before???~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment

Depends.
Did you make a case for robbing the bank because you could get away with it? Or did you legally go into the bank and shut them down for malfeasance?"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

I didn't realise I had that power... or the US had that jurisdiction over Iraq.
If, in our analogy, a private citizen (or another bank!) took it upon themselves to walk into a bank and shut it down for any reason, there would be nothing legal about it.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment

Depends on what your weapon is. Legal guns for hire to shut down the bank are not unheard of.Originally posted by joncha

Well, it was either that or

would have worked as well.

Maybe I'm not following correctly. So Rice said many things that are potentially untruths, potentially meaning she purjured herself, but the commission didn't get its teeth into her over those issues. That makes things seem even more odd to me.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

Or did they cite the contrary evidence, but it did so ham-fistedly that the media in general have said that she acquitted herself well?One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
