    ROFL on what basis? It was so bad so screwed up it didn't even get out of committees. And of course like her stint at State she worked to the system to avoid any oversight of the government committee of which she was put in charge.

    Why is it that as long as someone has a "TRUE understanding" or they talk about something lot or can point out the problems but can't solve them and fall flat on their faces when they do the left praises them so?

    She couldn't even muster enough Democrat votes and even with Mitchel trying to fix it they couldn't even get it up for a vote.

    Oh I left out the "make people aware" being such a GREAT accomplishment to those on the left. I got news for you, WE ALL KNEW IT ALREADY. She was there to come up with something to FIX IT.

    I know some, along with some reporters, got pretty sick when the wandered into some of the hidden chemical cache's Saddam was storing his precursor chemicals, proscribed and undeclared along with the new chemical weapons shells to use the nerve gases he would have produced in a matter of weeks once the sanctions were lifted.

    I don't recall any of them dying though, do you have a link?

    AMA and partisan opposition had the project doomed from the beginning. I am sure that you will disagree, but I have faith that Hillary can fix Obamacare if Congress permits her to.

    I'm not referring to the search, but the war that ensued as a result of the deception.

    There was no deception and the threat Saddam posed was proven with all the proscibed materials and activities we found . As the Clinton administration had stated he would remain a WMD threat as long as he remained in power.

    The "plan" was badly thought out, badly put together, badly presented and went nowhere.

    And what has she said needs to be fixed and how is she going to fix it?

    What needs to be fixed is the arbitrary escalation of costs and the self-regulated medical industry MUST be subject to government regulation, the same as everything else.

    Your subjective analysis of Hillary's efforts does not remotely resemble the truth.

    The Clinton Administrations statements ..... in my opinion, were correct.... thus one of the major reasons why my opinion of President George W. Bush is still so high!


    http://www.politicalforum.com/canad...ush-my-two-favourite-american-presidents.html
    Presidents Reagan and President George W. Bush, my two favourite American Presidents.

    ..............
    For the record…. I admit that President George W. Bush was indeed too close with Big Business…… this is a metaphorical "fly in the ointment" but…………… I personally have read too much material over the years that indicates that his decision to invade Iraq, may well have been worth it……. because I do believe that President Saddam Hussein was obviously attempting to obtain nuclear weapons……. and Saddam might well have been willing to use them on Israel.

    For one thing……. Russia got ahead of the USA in at least one area. Amazingly small dirty nuclear weapons not a whole lot larger than a softball.

    When the Soviet Union collapses, Russian scientists and officials were desperate for American dollars and Saddam had billions.

    The testimonies of several Iraqi nuclear physicists indicate that Saddam wanted a nuclear weapon or two or three……..

    …. the situation at the time of America's invasion of Iraq was such that it probably seemed like too great of a risk to allow Saddam the freedom to keep on trying his best to develop or purchase a nuclear weapon.

    ......I would love to be wrong….. but my own personal opinion is that high level American officials…… feel that there is far less danger in the average American feeling that President Bush was wrong and incompetent…….. as opposed to let them KNOW….. .about how much danger they really had been in?!

    .....
    If...... American teenagers can build a workable atomic bomb...... minus the fissionable material for a school science or spare time project...... then how could a world leader as wealthy as Saddam......... fail to obtain many types of WMD's if he hired intelligent and capable people to obtain those devices??????!

    Sorry for diverting you into another topic but.......... I would be fascinated by your comments on the impression that I have gotten that humans can live to be a hundred and still be capable of strenuous physical labor.

    My wife is from Quito, Ecuador and has insider information regarding things that occur in the village of Vilcabamba that is in the "Valley of Longevity."

    Here is one place where I got into this topic.... the official Sanhedrin discussion forum:

    http://www.thesanhedrin.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1139&sid=44cbfdfdff2c4273d4b8926dc9646c0f
    Longevity, will all Jews soon live healthy for a century?

    ................

    Aha yes.. I quoted Dr. Leo Rebello in post #2 here.....

    My analysis is historically subjective and I asked what SHE says needs to be fixed and what is HER proposed fix.

    This is almost certainly true.............. but that doesn't mean that the concern over Saddam developing WMD's was not quite real.

    When certain threats are marketed to the American people.............. the whole thing is packaged and put in a form that they will buy.......... and what isn't made public is even more important in many ways than what is made known.

    So All the Democrats including the ones on the video before Bush became President were lying too?

    Maybe you shouldn't vote for Hillary.

    If all but six Senators didn't even read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, then they withheld the information from themselves.

    The only comment I would make is that this would be a legitimate argument in favor of more effective birth control.
