Who Would Vote For bush Again?

He did not. I defy you to find one single quotation in which the president claimed that the threat from Iraq was imminent. What he said was that he wouldn't allow a gathering threat to become imminent while he did nothing.

So when Scott McClellan, on 2/10/03, said that "This is about imminent threat." - he didn't actually mean that it was about an imminent threat, but rather meant that it was about a threat that shouldn't be allowed to become imminent?

How do you know, Brandon? Are you in close contact with Scott? Or are you not talking about the Bush administration, just about Bush? Well, how about this quote:

"The Iraqi regime is a threat of unique urgency."
- President Bush, 10/2/02

Well, from Brandon's mouth, this becomes

"What he said was that he wouldn't allow a gathering threat to become imminent while he did nothing."

Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late.
- President Bush, Jan. 2003.

Brandon and Tico spend their days nit picking every word used by Liberals, Democrats, or anyone who has an opposing view.

Tico makes short condescending comments that are virtually meaningless and Brandon keeps throwing out question after question. In most cases neither of them make any sense what so ever.

Then they bellyache because we don't play their silly games on their terms.

Now let's see..... what was that comment that Dick Cheney made to Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor?.................................

When it's true, I don't see it as "ad hominem." It's not personal or emotional; it's fact.

Brandon is either a comic or a sick man....Brandon wouldn't know the truth from a lie if it slapped him in the face. There's no cure for stupid.

Yep, I'm wondering when Tico and Brandon are going to sign up for the military and walk the walk of that patriotism they whine about.

I have an enlistment form that I can fax to either or both of them.

So you found one quote in which Bush said the threat wasn't necessarily imminent, and there are other quotes in which he said it was.

What do you think you're proving? Clearly his message changed from one speech to the next.

And if either of them is worried about being too close to the age limit ( I don't know their ages), good news! They've recently raised the maximum age for first time Army recruits to 39!

Calling someone stupid is a personal attack, c.i.

We are merely asking that assertions be backed by evidence. It is inappropriate to respond to such on-topic requests with speculations about the character of the posters.

Anon, It doesn't matter how much proof is presented to righties that Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq. That they would continue to accept what Bush and this administration said and continues to say about Iraq should be evidence enough that they're not living in the "real" world.

Cheney said "this is not a civil war." This administration now has the temerity to define English words now.

"We are merely asking that assertions be backed by evidence."

It's a pity you didn't demand the same of your President before he embarked on his Iraqi misadventure. A couple thousand guys might not be dead.
