    Obama is a centrist. I'm the left. I'm pissed because he isn't left enough. He promised that there would be a public option. There wasn't... He promised to investigate Bush. He didn't. He promised to release photographs of how we tortured people. He didn't. He promised that he would let the tax cuts for the rich expire. He's not. He promised to close Gitmo. It's still open. He promised to end DADT. He didn't.

    THAT'S why the left is pissed at him.

    Obama isn't even in the Center of his own universe... much less Anyone's definition of the Political spectrum... except to someone else with an equally far left opinion.

    Incidentally... Assage also proved YOU and the other liberals wrong about the Claims YOU have been making about the WMD in Iraq. THey were in fact proven and they were moved to Syria...

    Hello again,

    I'm wondering what the wingers, who argued how terrible the strong arm tactics used by the government against BP were, have to say about the strong arm tactics used by the government against Wikkileaks...

    Hello again, smoothy:

    Boy oh boy. Still batting 1.000. Always WRONG. I thought he HAD WMD'S. Why wouldn't I think so? Where did I say that I thought otherwise? In fact, there weren't ANY liberals that I know of claiming he had NO WMD'S. But, once they weren't found, liberals, LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD, began to doubt the stories.

    Now on to the article you linked me to. I didn't read ANYTHING about the WMD's being moved to Syria - not a bleeping word. Mee theenks you made that up too! What I DID read was this:
    in 2004, troops discovered a chemical lab in a house in Fallujah during a battle with insurgents. A chemical cache was also found in the city.
    Now, I don't know know about you, but since this was discovered in 2004, I'd call the cache an INSURGENT cache of weapons instead of Saddam's... But, that's just me.

    Um... wasn't ANY liberals claiming Iraq had no WMD's.

    Selective amnesia we having today... how about all the lefty Lefty Mantra about Bush "Lieing" the last how many YEARS now? THat WAS the left doing it... and were still doing it very recently.

    Try and read it again... in that release were documents proving WMD's being transferred to Syria the laft claimed never existed...

    THen there was a several Hundred tons of Yellowcake Uranium transferred to Canada from Iraq. But then, the left thinks you can buy that at Costco and Sams Club. But that was released and ignored by the drive by media a while back.

    After all... do you believe there was a real conspirocy to Kill JFK? And they didn't get the right guy. After all, that was never proven either...

    Hello again, smoothy:

    Wow. Still wrong. Your dates don't line up... The left, along with the REST OF THE WORLD, didn't start saying Bush lied, until it became clear that there were NO WMD's - NONE.

    Now, I don't know if he lied, or if he was mislead. But, in the final analysis, it doesn't matter - the information was NOT TRUE. We invaded a sovereign nation based on BOGUS intelligence. It was a mistake of monumental proportions and it's been a colossal failure. Not only did we lose IRAQ, but that misadventure cost us the very winnable war in Afghanistan too. Plus, the only nation that got STRENGTHENED in this whole sordid affair, is IRAN. Oh, and did I mention that Osama Bin Laden is still alive?

    Get your facts together.

    I will provide the President's address to the UN prior to the war to prove that WMD was but one of the major reasons for the invasion.
    George W. Bush, Address to the U.N.—September 12, 2002

    Maybe Wikileaks has the information or not. I suspect that Assange has done some 'cherry picking ' of intel himself to satisfy his own preconceived ends.I'm sure within his cache there must be some analysis of Saddam's Airforce Commander General Sada who is very public in his contention that the bulk of Iraqi WMD arsenal was transferred to Syria.How is it that documents detailing when Evita takes a cr@p is released but no analysis of General Sada's contentions ?

    But even with Assange's careful vetting ,some information about the Iraqi WMD program was released in the doc dump.As has been stated already , US military intelligence discovered chemical weapons labs,and encountered insurgents who were specialists in the creation of toxins.

    The dump reveals that as late as 2008, American troops continued to find WMD in the country.

    Hello again, tom:

    Yes, but WITHOUT that as a reason, we WOULDN'T have invaded. And, we found NONE. A world wide consensus agrees. Yes, there's a few diehards - people who think removing Saddam was reason enough to invade a sovereign nation that posed NO threat to us whatsoever...

    So.. Essentually every liberal in the government... and the world sees EXACTLY the same evidence that Bush saw and came to the same conclusion... and they get a free pass because they DID see the same security briefings? But Bush doesn't because the left just can't stand a man with the balls to say what he thinks and believes... vs liberals who can't decide what color pants to wear without taking a poll...

    Lol I guess a 4 day bombing campaign using 300 combat aircraft flying 650 combat sortes ,and launching 350 Tomahawk missiles from 10 US warships, against military and civilian targets is not war... I guess deploying hundreds of special ops "boots on the ground" as well as deploying thousands of troops on the Kuwait border is not war :rolleyes:

    I guess flying 24/7 sortees over Iraq for a decade and engaging both Iraqi Air Force and ground anti-aircraft installations,often destroying them is not war. :confused:

    Really Just Like Obama then... He sent a whole bunch of extra troops into Afghanistan where according to your fellow Democrats... nobody was really threatening us.



    Come on... thats a VERY weak argument at best... After all, It was Saddam who invaded Kuait... and threatened Saudi Arabia... THATS when the war started. And I saw that entire war up to the Cease fire in ways only a handfull of others have. There was cease fire Saddam was constantly breaking when W was elected to office... You are aware of what a Cease fire is, aren't you?

    You know... there is one in Korea too.

    If the US makes an extradition attempt on Assange it will be on charges of conspiracy in the theft of US documents and not because of espionage .The reason he fled to England is because the Brits are very slow to extradite in these cases . Sweden however would cooperate because in their view is that theft is not a "political crime".

    The way this went down wasn't just a matter of pfc Manning downloading and sending them off to Wikileaks . Manning was recruited by Assange to steal the documents off the US database.

    Prior to the thefts there is evidence of communication between Assange and Manning and an overt act in support of the conspiracy before the acts took place. Manning bragged to a pen pal;online hacker Adrian Lamo, about his contact with Assange.In the email Manning revealed that Assange provided special software for the thefts that enabled him to upload the docs. Faster... and also bumped Manning up to the top of the Q ahead of all other Wikileak contributors. . This happened before Manning provided any docs to Assange. Lamo shared this knowledge with authorities.

    Manning downloaded a single doc about Iceland first to test Assange .Assange published it proving to Manning that Assange was not a sting operation.
    Government documents secret or otherwise is a commodity.The government has property rights .

    He is outarged that his records have become part of the public record.

    Finally there was an earth shattering leak.. turns out that Michael Moore's book 'Sicko' was banned in Cuba because it painted such a "mythically" favourable picture of Cuba's healthcare system that the authorities feared it could lead to a "popular backlash".

    Moore now claims that the State Dept 'made up ' the story . But if they had ,why wouldn't they have made that publicly available ? What would be the purpose of making the claim and then keeping it secret ?
