FFS, "Again" is not a sentence.

Marines massacring civilians in Haditha? Maybe that wasn't a big event to you but when an occupying force starts executing civilians you better be ready for some action. Or maybe they were catching onto the fact that their country still didn't have as much electricity as they did when the war started almost two years before. I can't believe anyone can say, that while majority of the American public still supported the war, that while congress had just passed a bill to continue funding the war, that some representative voicing his dislike for the war made more of an impact on enemy morale than their countrymen being slaughtered much closer to home. You cannot say for a fact which had more of an effect but it wouldn't be hard to guess that since most people didn't have electricity most people were more affected by the local news than something going on overseas.

You also can't say that the constitution was bringing peace just because attacks were down at about that time. You don't know why attacks were down. It could be attributed to a strategic lack of weapons for all we know but we don't. You're just trying to draw imaginary lines between two things that might have affected each other without taking into account other events that were known to be happening and events that could have been happening.

Last time I made Jell-O Shots, they never gelled. Next time I'll ask you your political opinions, so I can do them correctly.

Probably used too much alcohol, not enough water.

Which really doesn't matter anyway. The administration staff knew the banner was there, they knowingly had Bush fly in in a jet fighter, give a speech in his flight suit trying to look all like the warrior king and had the press stand in an area where their photos/film would have the banner as the backdrop to Bush giving his "We won!" speech. Are we supposed to believe that any of this wasn't orchestrated? Of course it was. And it wasn't until people began mocking Bush for "Mission Accomplished!" that the administration started backpedalling.

"Huh? Mission accomplished? We never claimed th--- a banner? What banner? Oh, that banner? Yeah, that banner behind Bush wasn't ours. Nope. Had no idea. Really, it could have said 'Eat At Joes' for all we knew, we don't think about things like that when planning big victorious photo-ops. Look, that banner was obviously for the ship's crew and any American who saw those photos of Bush in front of a strategically placed banner should have known that it had nothing to do with Bush. Quite honestly, anyone calling themself an American who isn't intimately familiar with the comings and goings of our Navy's carriers and who would think that banner was for Bush -- well, I just don't know if they should be calling themselves an American. Shame on them for thinking that banner had something to do with Bush. Shame. On. Them."

All totally innocent, I'm sure. Bush's staff were just like young fawns in the headlights to learn that anyone could misinterpret why Bush would be giving his "Major combat operations are over!" speech in front of a giant banner reading "Mission Accomplished". I'm certain that, had they not been mocked for it, they still would have made sure everyone knew that the two were in no way related and should probably be digitally removed from the photos before using them in any campaign materials or textbooks.

Anything to contribute other than 'NUH-UH YOU'RE WRONG!!!1' ?

I believe he played co-pilot and I don't know whether or not he ever had control himself. But, when I say, "I just flew in from New York" I don't mean that they let me steer the 747

Nothing says "I'm smarter than you" then the fact that you had to edit this pithy zinger!

Sir, democrats everywhere concede to your obvious superiority.

I found a better explanation.

He had his fingers crossed.

The carrier was in front of CA and not the Iraki coast, it was a propaganda stunt anyway, i dont get why to attach so much value to that speech, it was 99% patriotic fluff anyway.

The whole WORLD saw it coming that invading Irak was going to cause more of a mess then solve it, thats why the protests!

To bad only France and Germany had the balls to openly stand up...
I hate my 2nd rate western nation, 1/5th of the country goes on to the streets to protest still our goverment sucks US ****



The resolutions worked what they were inteded for, Saddam hadnt got a penny to scratch his butt, he wasnt a threat.
That the people still didnt revolt against him was a pity.
