A sidestep does not qualify as a legitimate response in the real world. But since that is not where you reside, you needn't trouble yourself with such minutia.
Oh really Gayfly? Did Bush do that BEFORE he was president and make Albright, Clinton, Dean, and Berger say what they did in early 1998? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2996127#post2996127 Did Bush also insist that British Intelligence "go back and not return until they 'found' something" too?
Speaking of sidesteps... why can't you give me a simple answer to a direct question? Why do you care? Is your Canadian life so empty that you must obsess about American politics?
It was Bush who made it his mission to invade Iraq. It has been reported by insiders that he had it in for Iraq at the very beginning of his administration and well before 9/11. But he tied Iraq, however loosely, with 9/11, no doubt as a product of his honesty and forthrightness. It was on his watch, and on his repeated insistence, that the critical mass of urgent "intelligence" magically surfaced to go to town on Saddam with immediate effect.
Is the US the only country you know anything about? Perhaps unlike you, I happen to know about the general goings on about a number of countries, not the least of which is Canada's next door neighbor. Further, I only trade US markets. And you find my interest puzzling? Aren't you the go-to guy who knows everything about everything? Putting scholars, scientists and renowned historical figures in their place with your innate omniscience?
Don't misdirect. Here's what you wrote, to which I responded with four quotes from democraps about Iraq and WMB from early 1998, which was BEFORE Bush took office. You "forget" that Bush insisted his intel guys go back and not return until they "found" something. GIGO. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2996133#post2996133 And don't leave out the rest of the democraps' involvement and hypocrisy: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCVZlLBchVE?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCVZlLBchVE?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
All very delightful. But it was the overwhelming, albeit fabricated, intel coupled with Bush's chicken hawking and his sense of immediacy that tipped the scale and resulted in the invasion. As an aside, you will recall that Obama was against it. He's the Democrat we're talking about here, isn't he? Or are you sidestepping again? I can only imagine that your dance card must get filled rather quickly at parties.
Yeah... sure Gayfly. Bush fabricated all that intelligence before he was president and made Albright, Clinton, Berger and Dean say that stuff in early 1998. And democraps didn't support invading Iraq either; Bush must have made up those videos too, right? The real question is, how empty and miserable is your Canadian life that you must fill the voids by incessantly posting libtarded bullshit about American politics?

Oh please... you stuck your foot in your mouth by blaming Bush for intelligence that existed before he was president and I exposed your ignorance. So now you're projecting YOUR tap-dance on me. But what else would we expect from the one who accused someone of treason without even knowing what it meant
