BK>>  It is incredible how years of partisan induced hatred
BK>>  has made so many of you blindly defend an individual...

 JF>   No, actually 9/11 did that.  Bush and almost everyone
 JF>   else in the Whitehouse, Democrats included, finally said
 JF>   enough and went after terrorists and those who sponsored
 JF>   them, everywhere.  This included Saddam, who for eight
 JF>   years Democrats were saying things like this about:

BK>   Since that's all you have..

  Sorry, we have Saddams open support and sponsoring of terrorists which
clearly showed the world he was willing to help them out, just as 
intelligence around the world has noted.



BK>  ... and no evidence any of it was true it's absurd 
BK>   for you to  keep bringing it in.

  I've asked you, several times now, WHAT were Clinton's people reporting 
on, over and over, for eight years, and you still come up empty and 
won't answer.  


JF> "I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw

BK>  Convinced does not make it fact.

  Denial doesn't mean it didn't.


 JF> evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors
 JF> being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three
 JF> hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks
 JF> out." -- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in
 JF> April of 2003

BK>  And did that actually happen?

  Clinton's intelligence people and others say yes.  Common sense would 
also say Saddam did all he could to cover his tracks.  You have him 
standing their like some confounded stooge.



 JF> "Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely
 JF> dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and
 JF> unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement." --
 JF> Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002

BK>  How would she know?

  Intelligence reports.


 JF> "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is
 JF> seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted
 JF> Kennedy, September 27, 2002

BK>  How would he know?

  Intelligence reports.


 JF> "The community of nations may see more and more of the very
 JF> kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons
 JF> of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to
 JF> terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all
 JF> those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened
 JF> tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton, 1998 --- Platinum

BK>    And it turned out he was wrong. 

  Where is your evidence?


BK>   Big difference was, Bush had a
BK>   chance to find out, and he didn't want to know.

   Yet you can't produce an excerpt/page number that confirms it, 
as I've requested from you several times before.
