The article stated:

arrested.”
So basically, these are weapons in Kuwait. Yeah, I guess the U.S. is not
completely in bed with Kuwait. The rest is speculative as far as I’m concerned.
While we’re speculating, I bet it wasn’t an amount of arms that would amount to
much.
John -- give it up. Shrub’s truthfulness is absolutely on the line. I
personally believe that he will lie to anyone about anything to get his way. I
am no longer in a minority in this suspicion.
That’s what Larry’s “cry wolf” mode references -- the acknowledgment that Shrub
is a lying liar. And it hasn’t yet stopped! Between himself and his cabinet
members he manages to publicize at least two to four variant stories on
everything they want to get a message out about. It’s called plausible
deniability, and it means not to expect a lot of truth from that source. Cheney
is allowed to continue as the crazed warhawk, Rice and Powell are the finessing
voices of unreason, and Shrub himself might as well start pulling the old Reagan
bit where he pretends not to hear when the people are throwing out questions by
placing his cupped hand around his ear. “Wha...what?” Puh-leaze! Just be a good
little Shrub and wave bye-bye.
Generally, I agreed with Lar. This little adventure in Iraq is going to cost
hundreds of billions before they are done with us unless we just nip it in the
bud, if it’s not already too late for that. I don’t see the point -- not for
the loss of U.S. lives or for throwing away good U.S. monies down a money pit.
I thought you were the conversative. Why am I always here defending restraint
of action and the careful administration of U.S. money? There’s a big difference
between being conservative and just being blindly partisan.

| (URL) Has anyone else heard of this story? If true, it would be big news IMO-- I wonder why it hasn't been picked up (by conservatives; I know why liberals might want to ignore it;-) JOHN (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
