  • this guy is a moron.....simply put!

  • I like Keith Olberman. He puts the blame where it belongs.

  • only sometimes, not all the time

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TALK TO ME

    someone smart please help me 5p

  • not obama, not mcsame, but OLBERMANN FOR PRESIDENT!!

  • Thank goodness for people like olbermann who arnt owned by the bush whitehouse.

  • umm, not quite. Oldermann has matched O' Liely's ratings. Plus, his intellect is on a higher level then that lying fuck.

  • o reilly is balanced omfg ur an idiot

  • DJH198027, maybe you should check from 'the interweb, series of tubes' who Clinton pardoned.

  • maybe because he was on sportscenter at the time

  • Nicely done. Olbermann delivers once again.

  • The FEC has fined one of the biggest liberal political action committees $775,000 for using unregulated soft money to boost John Kerry and other Democratic candidates during the 2004 . America Coming Together (ACT) raised $137 million for its get-out-the-vote effort in 2004, but the FEC found most of that cash came through contributions that violated federal law. The group's big donors included George Soros, Progressive Corp. chairman Peter Lewis and the SEIU

  • Yep, I said something like this awhile ago.

    "At least Nixon had the decency to resign"

  • Bush and his regime are Zionist puppets.

    Scooter Libby is also a jew, hmmm...

  • LEtS IMPEACH THESE SATANIC MURDERING SELF-SERVING BASTARDS

  • Impeach, Impeach, Impeach....

  • ILLEGAL WAR, ILLEGAL SPYING, GENEVA CONVENTION VIOLATIONS, ILLEGAL DETENTION,TOUCHER,ILLEGAL USE OF SIGNING STATEMENTS, ACCESSORY TO PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTUS. Someone needs to step up and blow him so we can Impeach !!

  • AMITABH BACHCHAN IS GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST. HE WILL be REMEMBERED FOR QUITE OVER 2,000 YEARS.HIS VOICE, HIS WALK, HIS EYES, HIS INTELLIGENCE, HIS CHARISMA, HIS GOOD LOOKS,HIS CONFIDENCE, HIS HEIGHT, HIS UNEQUALLED TALENT, HIS PERSONALITY, HIS HUMANISM, HIS STATURE- YOU NAME IT. NO ONE IN THE WORLD WILL EVER COME CLOSE.TOO OFTEN IMITATED/COPIED BUT NEVER WILL BE EQUALLED.DON'T BE JEALOUS.I KNOW HE IS THE ENVY OF THE WORLD.HIS VOICE AND DIALOGUE DELIVERY ALONE ARE WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION.

  • According to the latest Zogby poll, while President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq is at a lowly 24 percent, the DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED Congress stands at just 3 percent, slightly outside of the 1.1 +/- percent margin of error. In other words, they could have negative numbers.

  • I am from the UK and there is no denying that the USA is among, if not THE most powerfull country in the world but it's dwindling. Bush is runing this country into the ground. This is how the rest of the world sees the American people, even though it is not the people who are doing this. He is now a dictator. Bush's administration is seen as a reflection of 100% of the American people when It is not. GET HIM OUT.

  • Bravo, Keith Olbermann.

    Time for Bush and Cheney to come to justice.

  • please,,stop and listen, everything has gone to far!

  • Qur'an 9:5

    Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem or war"

    Ishaq:300

    "fighting is righteous, true, and good."

    Tabari IX:69

    "As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us"

  • Olbermann is right! Bush is nothing but man that wish to rule the world. And fear is his wapon. The fear he spread in you citzen of U.S makes his actions of killing 100 000 inocent lives right. But what you donsn´t se is that it can never be right to kill 100 000 inosent lives.

  • very nice!.. if you want some high quality academic background from the most cited and declared the most important intellectual THAT YOU MAY NEVER HEARD ABOUT (Noam Chomsky) who presents an undisputed staggering amount of evidence for the reasons behind world events(including Iraq and the middle east) subscribe to my channel.

  • Below is an excellent free movie from google which is a must see for people who question and people who should question. It is called the 9/11 Mystery.

    video. google. com/videoplay?docid=1921357139­285191482

  • These two numg nut mother fucks could fuck a wet dream!!! I cant believe they have been left to run the most poerful country on the face of the planet for so long.

  • EVERYBODY!! Please watch this - the ULTIMATE clip about Bush's and Cheney's and Rumsfeld's WMD lies:

    watch?v=EYI7JXGqd0o

  • Thanks Mr Olbermann, now we need more high up people to join the bandwagon and speak out. Impeach !

  • with the # of posts you've left on this vid, you must have quite a hard-on for Mr.Olbermann. What's up ? Do I smell truth envy ?

  • ssloon/funrun problems

    are more serious

    than

    I thought

  • Just curious

  • g699a

    Do you not

    have a life?

  • q699a, this is not a chatroom nor your forum, one post please or get your own blog. Fact, A crime was commuted by Bush, the criminal is his own staffer who takes orders from the president. Period.

  • I marked all of g699a's posts as SPAM - not for their content, but because of their being one huge chained posting. The inability to be concise is a sure sign of lower intelligence.

  • Val Wilson either lied to Congress or in her affidavit. Funny how she isn't being charged for perjury considering that she has contradicted herself under oath.

  • President Says Saddam Hussein Must Leave Iraq Within 48 Hours - March 17, 2003 (Public Record)

    "The danger is clear: using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons, obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country, or any other."

    Sounds like his reason for Iraq action was predicated in Saddam's 30 year history of aiding terrorists.

  • President Discusses Beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom - March 22, 2003 (Public Record)

    And our mission is clear, to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people.

    Sounds like his reason for Iraq action was predicated in Saddam's 30 year history of brutality and aiding of terrorists.

  • As the history of the last 17 years has demonstrated, the U.S. has an abiding interest in the Balkans. Thousands of our finest diplomats and soldiers have spent years trying to build a peaceful future there, many have died.

    Why don't we hear any protest about the Balkans?

  • Many of the Islamists fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan today come from the Balkans.

  • And Olberman just keeps spinning and spinning..... His daily call to prayer for the hope for Jihadis and Bush haters alike.

  • LIBBY -- The counts (Charges)

    "..made the following materially false and intentionally misleading statements and representations, in substance.."

    "..did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement and representation.."

    "..did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement and representation.."

    "..knowingly made a false material declaration.."

  • thank god for the 1st amendment... good job keith

  • He will before he leaves office.

  • Though I'm left of you right-wing extremists, I found the Clinton pardons disgraceful. However, they were done as he left office and didn't involve possibly wrong-doing in his White House, so the outcry was muffled. Had they occurred during his term, there's no doubt people would have been screaming for his head. Finally, Clinton was investigated and clearly during the Bush administration by a Bush appointed prosecutor confirmed by the Republican-led Senate.

  • I am a moderate extremist to you I guess. Clintons last minute pardons are going to dug up thanks to Keith and Hillary foaming at the mouth. Clinton lied under oath but was let go, Hillary sat on Billing records and was let go.

  • Incidentally, though I thought the 1st Bush election questionable, I reconciled myself to the fact that he was indeed "my President". When 9/11 happened, I hoped that he would do a good job in dealing with it. It has only been over the 6.5 years of his incompetence, corruption, secrecy, lies, half-truths, misrepresentations, and appointment of loyal hacks to positions for which they were not qualified, that I have come to regard him with great loathing.

  • If leaking the name of Mrs. Plame was a crime, then why has the prosecutor not charged the man who actually leaked the name? (Richard Armitage) If the leaking of name is not a crime, then why would Scooter Libby intentionally lie? He would not. He was convicted of having a flawed memory and nothing more.

  • Why lie? Possibly to protect the Vice-President.

    Counts I,II,IV & V of the Libby indictment (which the jury found to be true beyond a reasonable doubt) show that Scooter's testimony is a lot more than just "faulty" memory. Was Clinton guilty of an underlying crime in having consensual sex with Monica? That was not the point of the Republican-led impeachment effort - it was simply that he had lied under oath. The Libby conviction is valid under the law, until an appeals court says otherwise.

  • Fine! I won't even argue that, but the fact remains Scooter has not been pardoned. Bush let his conviction stand. However the "underlying crime" was confessed to by Armitage, and yet he has not been indicted. I don't care about Clinton and what he did or did not do. Facts are facts.

  • Bush needs to pardon Clinton for molesting CIGARS!

  • The US is certainly experiencing a Collective Nightmare.

    What the hell are the troops going through in Iraq?

    A Hellish Collective Nightmare!

    What are the people of Iraq experiencing?

    A Horrific Collective Nightmare!

    Bush, Cheney, and their gang are sociopathic murderers-killing in a quest for global power-NWO.

    Impeach both men and put them into Guantanamo until they confess to their crimes.

    Torture for the torturers.

  • Broadcast Journalism at its Best! Ro, the 4th Estate, media responsibility, is not dead. I wish the video didn't cutoff at KO's Edward R. Murrow sign off quote, "Good Night and Good Luck!"

  • I agree...but I think he's a little too radical to get elected. Plus, he doesn't get his fair share of coverage by the media.

  • Bush commuted one of his own staffers! James Madison, at the Constitutional Convention, said to Impeach any President who pardoned or sheltered those who committed crimes advised by that President.

  • RIGHT ON KEITH!! It's about time someone called the president on this kind of thing!

  • I am just replying to bajk22's comment. I never compared Bush and Clinton. He said find me a pardon where that person worked for the Clinton Administration and committed a crime in the commission of his job and I will agree that is equally offensive. And I just gave him a few and some that were even worse. True, I don't think Libby is guilty, maybe Cheney is, but I don't know all the facts, none of us do. Seems this is kind of a miniscule issue compared to the others in this world.

  • SolitaryWarrior-- fitting that you would resort to ad hominem attacks which are the best way to hit when you can't argue facts.

    mauistopthewar dot com

  • Why would anyone use facts to argue here? Most people understand that would be futile.

  • Solitary...you couldn't be more correct. google: 'olbermann racism'. You'll see what a bigoted monster he really is. When these limp-wristed dipshits call for impeachmment, they sound like 1st graders who parrot back the hate fed through sub-humans like olbermann and muslim terrorists.

  • Another fantastic talk by Keith Olberman, I hope to see the day that he receives a medal for bravery and integrity. We need more of men like Kieth Olberman. God Bless him for speaking up all the words that many many many Americans and foreigners alike think... He should run for PRESIDENCY!

  • This country needs a good douching, after 6.5 years of getting fucked in every orifice by Bush, Cheney, et al. The neo-cons are so willing to throw away billions of tax-dollars on unwarranted military action, but scream "Liberal Poison" if someone wants to spend far less to help the poor, elderly and disabled of the United States. Death and destruction, pain, suffering, bloodshed, poverty, illness - all are the calling cards of the neo-cons, who truly are doing the Devil's work on earth.

  • Only morons, true mental-deficients cannot distinguish between separate events. It does not matter that previous Presidents made corrupt decisions in pardoning, they are history and most are dead. What is of immediate importance is that such an act has been perpetrated in the present, and the president involved is subject to any punitive actions that may be called for under the very Constitution that he usurped.

    Impeach the bastards you have, not the ones that escaped and died.

  • Yep,every media outlet was rabid...she became the new Anna Nicole Smith (except for the being dead part)

    So-called news programs even interrupted coverage of world events and real news when someone heard she MIGHT come out of her house "any moment now" for that trip back to court.

    My viewing support remained with people like Olbermann and Dobbs,but it seems more ppl preferred to see what Paris would be wearing.

  • i know who give three damn asses about paris i dont i was ripping my hair out. why aren't they covering the soldiers or something w/ importance is america this dumb. if so all is lost

  • and dont say "stain"

  • America. A beautiful idea ruined by fear and paranoia - what a terrible tragedy that a nation founded on such noble ideas be aloud, by its people, to rot away.

    Thanks God I don't live in a country like America.

  • I heard the terrorists were using Doctors in your country. Were we afraid of the Nazis also, but fought to save others

  • bull shit

  • So when are we going to Impeach Bush and Cheney and where do I sign. Signed ..... We the People.

  • The brainwashing taking place has been coming out of the White House,so yes,people ARE finally waking up. About time.

  • elephantsyndrome, I had an epiphany. You are simply a puppet. A loud, ignorant, puppet who finds it impossible to question anyone who uses the name Jesus and says they support conservatives. How does it feel to have someone's hand up your ass? Clown.

  • Denial? How did my comment cause you to feel the need to write that comment? What the fuck does denial have to do with me thinking this story is over the top. I don't need your bull shit comment on my light hearted comment. Now stop posting so much on YouTube and go outside and do some good.

  • My email message claims you are responding to a comment of mine.

    Since I have gone back 70+ pages and cannot even find a comment I made,perhaps you could quote it.

  • Don't worry about it. It's no big deal.  Frankly, I am suprised YouTube/Google has that lame notice without a direct link to the comments location. They need to get on that.

  • Yes,they do. I honestly went back like 80+ pages looking for a comment I made to you,and couldn't find one. Anyway,not the first time it has happened,and very irritating.

  • No, I just don't consider this effective. I consider this over the top to make a stroy.

  • No connection between Iraq and 9-11.

    Just what he tells us.

  • Yes. Saddam-Al Qaeda link. Let's not forget the Bush Bin Laden link.

    Big money in oil.

  • This could also be tilted "The Current America, in a Nutshell"

  • Congratulations MSNBC.

    The NY Times & Washington Post seem castrated.

    This man is crystal clear.

    I have watched twice and sat with my wife through it.

    It is so re-assuring to see a large media company get

    a message out, they think important, as oppossed to what the powers that be portray as news. No wonder newspapers are being dismissed as irrelevant.

  • Exactly. :)

  • Bush is a really, really bad jokes in the worst of taste and without any humor to it at all; he should go back to doing what he did best - which was to run an oil company into the ground. He failed in business, so he went into politics, where he failed even worse. And, unlike Olbermann, he can't string two words together without the greatest of difficulty.

    When are people going to realize that we need really smart people at the helm?

  • gbb

    A personal attack is like what Mann Coulter does, which is to say mean hateful things about someone that have nothing to do with the issue. Here we have actual facts about the issue. Nobody was called a faggot here or been wished to be assassinated. Just facts.

  • This is the most beautiful speech I have ever seen. Thank God for one honest journalist. Thank you Keith.

  • No, he isn't like Coulter and O'Reilly because he is using actual arguments that anyone can check. Coulter and O'Reilly are just twisting the facts.

  • There were six years of unfettered misuse of the government. Yes, there ought to be alot of investigations! If some of you had an understanding of the judicial system you might be a little frightened by all that has happened.

  • Some of us do,and we are.

  • I keep getting email notifications that people have responded to my comments, but I'm darned if I can every find the responses. I'm not ignoring people who respond. I've written YouTube to ask them to modernize their forums so that comments and reponses to them are placed in proper threads, with more than just two levels. Maybe if more people asked for this, it would get done. It certainly would facilitate the conversation.

  • We don't know that Bush did that either...your just speculating...However we do know that Clinton sold weapons technology to China for campaign finance...and that is true treason.

  • .. and we do know that Bush lied about wmds and a Saddam-Al Qaida connection to lead the US into a war and that now he has kept a convicted criminal from ever having to go to prison.

  • Once upon a time, an advisor to the king was found to be lying to a court and was sentenced to serve time in the dungeon. The advisor told the king that if he did not help him, that he would inform the court about crimes committed by the king and his viceroy. The king then issued a proclamation that the advisor be set free. Upon hearing the proclamation and suspecting the king's wrongdoing, the people of the kingdom rose up and demanded that the king stand before the court.

  • Saddam Hussein is already dead, my friend.

  • ThEiLLuMinaTiHasYou stop talkking out ur ass leave the jewish ppl be ok

  • lol that needs to go a padded room ThEiLLuMinaTiHasYou u r the most disgusting human being ever and japanese rule

  • amen

  • it wasnt unprecedented they knew it was going to happen wake up

    there a memo that said bin mother fucking ladden was going fucking attack using the fucking planes think before you speak

    innocent ppl died that day BECAUSE of useless president

  • seek proffessional help

  • who fucking cares what clinton did is head up ur ass or what dont you see that our ppl r dying out there not to mention the innocent iraqes that did nothing to us did a baby blow up the towers nooo it was ur lame brain president who refused to do his JOB and read that damn fuck memo damn it focus on hte now as in the end the US wake up

  • i got one fact didnt america help put saddam hussein in office this was about a son tring to out do his dad and screwed us along for the ride this man is dictator a dumb one

  • We actually did make efforts to keep him and tyrants like him in power because dictatorships provide a certain level of stability in volatile regions. Hard to stomach,but true nonetheless.

  • i believe that bushes cousin is the head of fox network i guess that why they love him so friggin much

  • John Ellis,a freelance political advisor contracted by Fox News to head their election night "decision desk" in 2000 doesnt head Fox News but he DID call the election in Florida prematurely. Other networks picked up on it,and some say turned the tide so Bush won the state.

  • if there is one at all

  • so is fox and countless other channels yet i dont see them in ur list hmmmmm

  • and yet non of these will cost you, your country wake up america is nothing but dream

  • dude what is wrong with u where did you get such info hey what about here in america there plenty of incest and deformity here look at your president he is prime example of incest

  • dude y r u here u hate liberals then y be here and watching this video if hate liberal media

  • Man some of these comments are hilarious. The Republicans have been utterly discredited in the last 6 years by demonstrating their incompetence, corruption and downright criminality in governing this country. History will not look kindly on this Presidents reign.

  • Doesn't this guy look like a fucking stereotypical liberal 'man'? Jesus, I bet this northeastern bespectacled brie-eating panty-waisted queer has a limp handshake.

  • There is plenty of substance and truth to my comment.

  • Bush commuted one of his own staffers! James Madison, at the Constitutional Convention, said to Impeach any President who pardoned or sheltered those who committed crimes advised by that President.

  • sublimepro goes everywhere to lie about KO being a racist. Not true. He can not back up his lie. BTW, I'm Jewish.

  • The only hate monger is sublimepro.

  • WOW, Maybe the Americans will wake up! 27% does seem low! RIGHT? Wake up!

  • I didn't know about him being a rascist. But he was a pretty lame sports reporter on ESPN.

  • looks like the only hope Olbermann has is to let Paris do his show.

  • Bush & Cheney are criminals, but Democrats aren't much better. Anyone who wants real change needs to support a revolutionary-type politician like Ron Paul.

  • juleofdenial, he is a former sports anchor but he is still probably smarter than Paris Hilton.

  • a racist sports anchor. CBS kicked him out of L.A. and then ESPN couln't show him the door fast enough. None of the black athletes would give him an interview because of his bigotry.

  • i feel sorry for you there is no country no gov no nothing and

    u r blind when you finally see it will be to late plz wake up

  • According to the dictionary: Liberal means...pansy-assed, limp-wristed, no-backbone, whiny, un-educated losers. That fits Olbermann perfectly. No wonder he's their hero.

  • hahaha, agreed.

  • robust? if you mean fat, you are correct. Olberpig is quite fat...but you shouldn't make fun of obesity. You bigot.

  • yeah that was bush oh grow up

  • where was all this outrage when clinton PARDONED oh i don't Henry Cisneros (housing Secretary)and John Duetch (cia director) these two were cabnet members and they were PARDONED not comuted sentences PARDONS oh but I forgot Clinton does no wrong his lies under oath thats ok I forgot

  • Whoever claimed Clinton did no wrong? A whole lot of Dems were pissed off at him back then,even though a lot of Presidents issued a lot more pardons than HE did.

    Clinton hasn't been president for a while now,though,for anyone who missed the last 2 elections,so dragging him up every time Bush gets criticized is just a not overly successful attempt to distract people from what is happening now.

  • I thought the pardons were inexcusable, but not criminal, as they didn't involve past or future White House operations. I think Pres. Clinton will come to regret issuing them, because they will cost Hilary the presidency, so justice may still be served, though indirectly.

  • All Presidents do it. I have never been fond of the policy,but it is what it is. I find it supremely ironic that Bush lovers keep pulling out Marc Rich's in particular,and Libby was his lawyer and the guy who has always maintained Rich was innocent.

    As for Clinton,he probably already does have regrets,if only because of Hillary's political ambitions.

  • For the sake of America Mr Bush and Mr Cheney, resign NOW. You have disgraced us enough. GET OUT!

  • Olbermann has imitated nazis (trivializing the holocaust) and also demeaned African-Americans constantly on espn and msnbc. Anyone who can support such a pig is just a sorry excuse for a human.

  • little known fact bushes grandpa was nazi just wanted say that since u keep bringing it up

  • saddam sent footage of his stockpiles of anthrax and sarin gas being destroyed to the american government and allowed UN inspectors throughout anywhere in iraq to show he did no longer have these substances but america chose to reject this and still decided to invade iraq saying he must be hiding the WMD's and that he supports terrorism and al qaeda although this contradicted all evidence that the bush adminstration had already had in their possession

  • to be fair iraq did have such things as anthrax and sarin gas but this was because america had supplied them with this heinous substances and supplied them with plans on how to reporduce the substances... america was the ones who supported saddam to his rise as dictator... and when america said iraq had weapons of mass destruction prior to the war,

  • i can not see why what america has done in iraq is not considered as terrorism or genocide.... the american government has fabrocated evidence stating that iraq has weapons of mass destruction which at that point was false and then they invaded iraq and killed a minimum 66,807 and maximum 73,120 civilians....

  • what is wrong with jewish ppl and whats with u

  • prepare for death

  • Is that a threat?

  • That's the most undifferentiated comment I've read in a long time. Are you serious? What about the neocons? Half of them are Jewish (Libby?).

  • fuck bill orealy. keith is the best. he says what ppl are feeling

  • Get rid of BUSH NOW

    he is a terrorist

    he is a criminal

    he protects criminals

    he assists in mass murders

    he is a liar and needs to be impeached

    NOW!

  • Olberpig is the perfect spokesman for all of the limp-wristed, liberal pansy asses out there.

  • IMPEACH

    BUSH

    NOW

  • It was really more a comment about how bad he must be doing.

  • Bush is the biggest TERRORIST, LIAR, CRIMINAL

  • Bush is a Serial Killer of our troops and innocent civilians

  • what difference does the day make? It was 140 felons that happened to be his cronies. Don't be such a hypocrite.

  • So what's the over/under for Bush pardons on his last day?

  • you may be wondering why so many candidates have been starting their race for the 2008 presidency so early, with over a year still to go. well, it recentlly begam obvious to me, that we, as a nation are more ready then ever (in the history of america) for a new president. And the candidates right now, all of them, are riding on the coattails of the "hey, at least i'm not Bush!" campaign.

  • oh ok well we'll just stick to the dem congress which at 14%

  • His tv ratings are lower than the president and congress approval ratings and they are all bad.

  • i just dont understand, if we didnt do anything after 9/11 wouldnt we be paying for it right now anyway with more terrorist attacks/threats againts us? i get iraq wasnt the ideal place to go but if we would have gone into Afghanistan which is where we should have gone, would we really be in better shape now? i just can't see it, it would be the same story only in Afghanistan and if we didnt do anything we would have another 9/11, so we were in a pickle and had to do something

  • We did go somewhere - to Afghanistan, where the terrorists actually WERE; The Afghan war had and still has the full support of most Americans, and, I think, much of the free world - NATO troops are still there. It's Bush/Cheney's war in Iraq that's the problem. If Bush had concentrated on Afghanistan and stayed out of Iraq, he'd be a hero of the people instead of Satan's goat.

  • but people are saying he has put all the terrorist there that werent before, that were in afghanistan, but how would the situation have changed? why wouldnt we still be at war now if we had focused more on afghanistan than iraq?

  • There was no valid reason to go into Iraq; the war in Iraq has drained significant resources from the war in Afghanistan. The war in Iraq has destabilized the Middle East - the war in Afghanistan would not have done that. Saddam, for all his evils, was an adamant opponent to the terrorists now thriving his Iraq AND to the regime in Iran. Iran has been empowered by the war in Iraq. It's a question of going after the terrorists, not furthering your own private agenda, as Bush has done.

  • Destabilizing the Middle East? You mean we interrupted the Muslims slaughtering Christians, Jews and each other? Wow, that's too bad. Saddam PAID the families of suicide bombers in Palestine. I think it was 10k each. You are wrong about everything you said.

  • there was a HIGH chance when we were in Afghanistan Saddam would act because of our location and he could easily attack, its happened before, its called the Persian gulf war, he signed the treaty in 94, giving access to the UN and have peace with Kuwait, he ignored it in 2001 when UN got there, he refused for weeks to allow them to inspect, it worked out cuz we still havent found any weapons to this day but its a little weird that he would be so defensive when he had nothing to hide right?

  • This response shows why neo-conservatism is a failed political philosophy: Preemptive war is a bad idea, but it's one of the cornerstones of neo-conservatism.

    Thank God the neo-cons were not in power during the Cold War; Russia MIGHT have attacked us at any time, so it would have been OK to launch a prememptive strike against that country. What crap.

  • thats the best you can do? no REAL comeback....you are disgrace to liberals...once your down change the subject and make fun of the opposition, get some REAL facts and come back when you fuckin have an epiphany

  • Could have, should have, would have - that's not why we went to war in Iraq. You probably don't recall, but Bush said he had solid intel that there were WMD there and a Saddam-Al Qaeda link - both lies. If he'd said, "We need to take Saddam out because he might attack us", Congress would NEVER had passed the use of force resolution. So, stop re-writing history.

  • your acting as if Saddam went peacefully, saddam's fingerprints were all over the 93 trade center bombings, and seeing as saddam had bank accounts in the West Bank that tie funding terrorism i think its pretty solid intel

  • Rewriting history again, I see. Even Colin Powell now regards Bush's bogus Intel as a permanent stain on his reputation. Contrary to the right-wing's boot-strapping, post-hoc re-justification of the Iraq debacle, taking out Saddam was not the most effective way of dealing with global terrorism, and, as predicted, it was one of the worst avenues for doing so. Your loyalty to your pal Bush is undermining your judgment.

  • why keep saying "re-writing history" when my responses are answers and you change direction and no counter

    i never said it was the most effective

    how can you say it was the worst? its BAD but we didnt choose another route so you can REWRITE history i dont think you have a clue

    it was a mistake to go to iraq in the sense that we shouldve gone to elsewhere

    you underestimate the influence saddam had on terrorism
