Hello again, smoothy:

Again... an attack on an Embassy before you even kill the Embassador and anally rape him... is an act of war...

Yes, we ARE at war with them.. You didn't know that?

Obama doesn't call it that.. it would offend his Muslim brothers. He doesn't give a hoot if he offends most Americans.

Hello again, tom:

Nobody is denying that he HAD chemical weapons.. The question is, did he have them when Curveball SAID he had them.

Powell spoke of more collaboration besides'curveball' . And the Army found the physical evidence of the mobile labs . That's when the narrative changed to the nonsense that they were used to fill helium balloons .

These were buried in the ground... Who knows how long?

Yes ,that's one way to hide them from inspectors .
The Iraq Survey Group, ISG, led by Charles Duelfer a former deputy chief of the U.N arms-inspection team found “hundreds of cases of activities that were prohibited” under U.N. Security Council resolutions.

The job of the inspections regime was to verify, based on the active cooperation of Iraqi officials, that Iraq had destroyed its weapons and was actively complying with multiple UN disarmament resolutions. Saddam Hussein's regime did no such thing.The uncontested fact is that there were unaccounted for weapons and bulk agents found by the US after we invaded . Weapons Saddam claimed were destroyed . And that doesn't even address what we know was moved out of the country .

Old debates, look if it can be proven they used a WMD nuke them otherwise

Enough of this revision of history. The right has been blasting Bush for years and now that he has a library they all rush to make him a MT. Rushmore candidate.

Lets get back to a jobs program, and argue about trickle down economic recovery that the fat greedy b@stards who stole the money are being protected by the TParty and right wing gun toting loony's.

Apparently the sequester hasn't put a dent in funding prison poetry.

Prison poetry website awarded $75,000 NEA grant

Thanks to sequestration, there is not enough money in the government coffers to keep “the people’s house” (aka the White House) open for tours. You’ll be pleased to know, however, that there’s plenty of money — $75,000 worth — for prison poetry.

According to CNSNews.com, a new website that features readings of poems written by current inmates was launched this week with the help of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Among the podcasts available to visitors of prisonpoetryworkshop.org are recitations of poems like “Ghetto Bastard,” “Fenced Jewels,” and “A Gangster’s Prayer.”

Now if they just had some bagpipes to play during the recitals.

Maybe he can invite them to the White House to perform during his next taxpayer funded White House Concert.

Somehow these concerts continue to survive the sequester . But we don't have 'Fleet Week' here in NY this week.

[talaniman]

Fix it, if it's a problem. Write the congress and throw rocks at them.

[paraclete]

You should be able to get up a petition for no more White House concerts quite easily

[tomder55]

I shouldn't complain. I actually do like the' In Performance at The White House ' series .

[paraclete]

Yes almost as good as the West Wing isn't it? You like the show, I like the soap

And if that's all he's done since leaving office I'd agree .

Yes he's done that every year. He was also heavily involved in Haiti relief .He wrote a memoir ,dedicated a Presidential library ,and is in the process of creating the George W. Bush Presidential Center... which will include a "Freedom Institute" focused on a broad portfolio of topics, including the expansion of democracy abroad, education reforms, economic growth, global healt ,women’s rights.

Don't forget his painting.

[tomder55]

I didn't... nor the fact that he's a prolific reader. But I considered both recreation and relaxation.

Actually, his art has been highly praised, so it's more than mere relaxation. It's a kind of Grandma Moses thing.
