Default The Observer

Nice for y'all to be reminded of Rummy's handing The Golden Spurs to his buddy Sadaam, a gift from Cowboy Ron, no doubt.

Maybe that is why, when Sadaam gassed the Kurds in 1988, the US was alone in abstaining at the United Nations from condemnation of the atrocity. Found it difficult to criticise a murderous, old friend?

But it certainly inspired a hellish burst of righteous indignation when you got all-riled-up FOURTEEN YEARS LATER.

Do you honestly think that the list is written by an unbiased person? Some of the numbers appear to be made up. Some of the items have nothing to do with George Bush. Some of the "facts" would only be useful if used to compare with other years.
Do you believe everything you read in a newspaper?
No, I don't believe everything I read in a newspaper, but when it is in The Independent AND BBC News - I have a tendency to believe it. Once again, British media are far less independent and unbias than the American media (with the possible exception of the Washington Post, NY Times and LA Times).

Please note the numbers that look made up - I'll be happy to refute your charges.

I believe I can answer everything on the list with one of three replies.
1. Who cares?
2. What has that got to do with Bush (or this election)?
3. Already been discussed (and very likely refuted) on another thread.

I try to make my points as concise as possible to enable more people to actually read it. The only point that your post made to me was, "you really hate Bush."

Thanks for breaking it down for me!

1. Apparently you, you care enough to write an answer.
2. If you had READ the list, you would know.
3. Please, refute them with facts, I can't wait!
