He didn't have reasons to go to war and would have done so even if we hadn't had the terrorist attacks.He had several reasons for going to the war, just because he left a lttle of the les justified reasons out, he still has a great reason to go there, and even if he did lie about it, he got rid of Saddam.
He didn't leave some of the less justified reasons out, he lied about the reasons he used to justify the war. He took a country to war under false pretenses. He's killing American soldiers under false pretenses. He's condemned us to bankruptcy and condemned an unknown number of American soldiers to death under false pretenses. And not only that, but when he was running for presidency, he said he was against Nation-Building! Which I guess is true, because he sure as hell isn't helping Iraq build up their infrastructure.

ps. I must have some kind of ad software on my computer that sees what I'm looking at, because I've gotten like three pop ups saying "Who do you think will win? Kerry, Bush, or Other?" Creepy

Wow....... that's just....... sheer........ utter........ stupidity....... I can't believe he would honestly consider ending a program like that. By the way Formerly, where do you get your information (besides the news), are there any particular websites you go to to retrieve your information? Just asking because I try to talk about this stuff to my class but when I mention that it came from here they all (teacher included) immediately dismiss it, thinking that because you guys play with nerf guns your information is invalid. Sad thing is the majority, oh hell, all of you sound smarter than my teacher as it is. Anyways any links would be greatly appreciated.Bush wants to discontinue the head start program, which helps young children belonging to poor families. How is his education plan good again?

EDIT- Upon further investigation and searching into this subject I found something out. Formerly the Bush administration does not want to discontinure the Head Start program but he does want to do something that will put it at risk. You're more or less right however as what he wants to do puts it at the risk it does. For the full story go here.

Example: Bush education
Google News owns all because it pulls stories from online news sources worldwide. Don't limit yourself to the popular US news sources - they're all owned by the same half dozen companies and have their agendas.
The only consistently good US news source, in my opinion, is NPR. If you'd rather hear it, click on "stations" on their web site to find a radio station near you that broadcasts their shows.
Here's an interesting article that correlates watching Fox News, holding one or more major incorrect views about the war in Iraq, and supporting the war in Iraq.

Yes, I am this young and still enjoy listening to it.
I like it because they don't twist the news in one way or another, they just tell it the way it is. Stuff like CBS warps it to something like "Americans killed in action, wasn't their fault," when really they were the ones that fired first.

Yeah, that's one of the statistics that Franken quoted when I heard him speak. I like his interpretation:Here's an interesting article that correlates watching Fox News, holding one or more major incorrect views about the war in Iraq, and supporting the war in Iraq.

Guess you didn't read the thread.Bush wants to spend $12B on mars and the moon, $11B of which is to be stolen from NASAs other programs while only $1B is new funding. He has given NASA an unfunded mandate to do what he thinks is popular rather than what scientists want.
Bush is not actually giving NASA very much new money. He's forcing them to use existing money for his lame ideas.

I'm glad you have your own opinion, though it doesn't seem as if that opinion is based on anything. Perhaps you could share some of your reasons for disagreeing with me? Advocacy and argument is built on fact and analysis, not vague supposition.i disagree with you entirely. Maybe you should follow up with the topic from more than one perspective. Just think of the scientists' reactions when they get a lab on the moon! I'm pretty sure they'd be happy.
I don't think the scientists would particularly like a base on the moon. They can perform science more effectively on the ISS, but Bush has gutted the research component of our ISS participation for a savings of only 2.5M. Why perform experiments in low gravity when you can perform them in zero gravity? Why put an observation station in a fixed orbit when you can put one in a satelite with an arbitrary orbit? Do you really think scientists are all that eager to go get more moon rocks?
Scientists are furious that Bush is leaving them stuck with fully developed multi-million dollar experimental payloads that will never reach space because he told NASA to spend all their money on the moon and mars. Scientists are furious because Bush doesn't have the first clue about what they do and what would benefit science. Scientists are not, however, surprised. After all, 20 Nobel laureats and over 60 other respected scientists signed a petition calling on the Bush administration to restore scientific integrity to his administration.

About Bush finding Saddam Hussein . . .
There's a rumor, a rumor, but it could very well be true. It says that we didn't find Saddam, and that the Turks did. They told us where he was, we looked, still couldn't find him, then the Turks showed us where he was.
It's based on some news on an underground news site, but hey, it's the internet.
One of the things I dislike about Bush is his thing against affirmative action. He has been helped all his life with AA. That's how he got into Yale, actually. Basically because of his dear father.
Also, Bush associates the War on Terror with Iraq. Iraq has nothing to do with it. It's Saudi Arabia and other countries. I think. I'm not too good with this stuff.

When I read the report in the paper, it said that some Iraqi's had spotted him, and that they led the US soldiers to him... not entirely sure if it true or not.A pretty consistent TV channel is "Free Speech TV."

I'm sorry. This is where I get kind of hazy. What exactly did he do? Or let me put it this way, what was he doing that isn't still being done by other countries including U.S. allies?Even though it's obvious what he's done, he still gets due process under international tribunal laws, no matter how much we all just want to kill the fucker and be done with it.

1. Gas his own people.What exactly did he do?
2. Mention that he doesn't like Iran.
3. Regan sends Rumsfeld to present him with silver spurs as a sign of our friendship.
Oh wait, other US allies are doing those things... Nevermind.
