So who did Bush end up pardoning anyway?

You're a hypocrite who's clearly more critical of Democrats than Republicans despite espousing a moderate viewpoint.

Rah's a consummate moderate. Just because you are to the left of Stalin, doesn't change his position.

[Lorizael]

Sigh, if they were reading intel selectively, you can't claim it was lying. You can claim stupidity and gross incompetence but I bet they'll never be proof that it was lying. And regardless of what you think, there is no definitive evidence. There was some intel (regardless of how it was solicited) that said there were weapons of mass destruction, so it wasn't necessarily lying. I'm not agreeing that any of the course of actions taken, just saying that if he believed it even a little, it wasn't lying. I'll wait to see your definitive evidence.

If they were reading intel selectively, then it's deception at the very least. Deceiving themselves, deceiving us, whatever.

Rah's a consummate moderate. Just because you are to the left of Stalin, doesn't change his position.

Please don't insult liberals by comparing them to either me or Stalin. My politics are insane and completely unrelated to the left/right spectrum.

If they were deceiving themselves, then it wasn't technically lying to the american people. That charge (even if true) would be very hard to prove. So it's probably best to stop making that accusation. Just stick to stupid and incompetent and I doubt many will argue with you. But you'd better hope that things never stablize in IRAQ. (almost the same odds as muslims accepting the pressence of jews in ISRAEL)

And the last thing I need or want is a person of BK's belief system defending me.

What makes you think 'moderate' republican is a compliment?

What makes you think 'moderate' republican is a compliment?

If you did not mean it as one, that only makes it more complimentary.

Lorizael was having to work pretty damn hard there for awhile. I thought the thread might die but perhaps there is still life in it yet.

Hey! Discuss the topic, not the posters! Enough of this personal crap! Chill or be chilled!

[rah]

Think you're funny huh?
I was attempting to attack his beliefs, and not the poster.
But of course after insulting my wife he deserves worse, so I'm not really concerned.

[Patroklos]

Is you're wife a member? Because if not she should be fair game!

Stop abusing your authority

[rah]

Yeah, that will happen
No, she's not a member but the family of mods are not fair game according to the rules (and any rule of common decency). But his bigoted beliefs have fouled these forums for a long time, so his inability to behave with common decency is not unexpected.

[DinoDoc]

What are you talking about, rah? In which thread did this happen? And stop attacking posters or I will be forced make toast for you.

[rah]

Don't remember which one. He tried to apologize but I wasn't in a forgiving mood. I don't usually care what people say about me but snide comments about my wife or daughter will not make you welcome here (at least as far as I'm concerned). Real low class. But again based on experience, not surprising.

And if it wasn't obvious. I'm still not in a forgiving mood

[Lorizael]

What about your brother?

[rah]

Since he is also a mod, he's fair game. Yes an interesting exception to the rule as written.

[Patroklos]

What about YO MAMMA?!?! DAAAAAAAMN!!!
