fuck rumsfeld fucking bastard

[BI30]

@homeboy7697 First, Rumsfeld does not have a PhD and therefore is not a "Doctor" of anything.

Second, Rummy helped lead this nation into an unnecessary war based on questionable "intelligence" from an informant called "Curveball", and Iraqi exile Ahmed Chalibi, who the Bush Administration latter accused of being "an Iranian spy" when the "stockpiles of WMD's" he promised were there, weren't.

Over 4,000 American troops died in a war Rummy was clueless on how to extricate ourselves from. Safe?

@ih8faggots1000 Agreed, but wtf has that got to do with my question?

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 Clearly you have some difficulty reading, so I'll spell it out. Intelligence showed that there was a distinct possibility of Iraq harbouring WMD. Post invasion no WMD was discovered. Intelligence seems to have got it wrong. Certainly Powell admitted that the intelligence showing uranium purchases from Niger was flawed. If you have evidence that WMD was found or that a nuclear weapons programme had been maintained post the first Gulf War, kindly provide properly sourced evidence.

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 Yes "before", but your allegation went beyond that. Still waiting!

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 Provide the post invasion sourced evidence. Waiting!

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 Clearly, you are a seriously disturbed individual. I do not intend to engage in further conversation unless and until my original question is responded to.

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 Pathetic!! Please, please do not make assumptions about my views on Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Al Queda or other terrorists. You have already made a wrong assumption about the country in which I reside. If you are unable to answer the original question, please simply say so and then we can both stop wasting each other's time.

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 I am more than willing to discuss your proposition once you have answered my question. It's becoming obvious that you are one of those people who hope to antagonise others into digressions by ad hominem attacks. I'm afraid it will not work.

[leitros]

I am more than willing to debate your proposition once you have answered my question.

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000  The sign of the loser through the ages, change the subject when you're losing the argument.

[leitros]

@ih8faggots1000 Well, maybe you could lay it all out again for the benefit of us ignorant ones, which btw includes even Tony Blair!
