There is a difference between citing information that anyone can look up versus making claims that are unsearchable.
If you make a claim and others ask for a citation to back it up then provide it as a courtesy.
BD, I only have one simple question for you; do you know how to do a search on the web with the basic information available?
Such as, "bush is a failure," or "bush's ratings hits a new low," or "bush is a dummy?"
Give it a "test drive." You might learn something valuable; and you won't have to continue demanding "links" that you never read or understand.
I typed "bush is a liar" and got over 6 million hits. It's really easy.
How many hits does Imposter get? 1.340,000. So what?
Look! BD is finally catching on how to do a search. But we all know that won't make him read what he finds. Ofcoarse, BD still can't get it right; it's "cicerone imposter." ;(
Even BernardR got over 3,000 hits. Isn't this fun!
Now, back to "bush is a liar."[/color]

I see lots of citations to primary sources equivalent to those in c.i.'s posts in BernardR's post #2039774.
He cites to "the British government," "Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times," "Valerie Plame Wilson" writing in a memo to her boss at the CIA, "Walter Pincus of the Washington Post," a op-ed piece written by Joseph C. Wilson, "the White House," "Britain's independent Butler commission," the "Senate Intelligence Committee report," the "State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research," "the Washington Post," the "the Senate Intelligence Committee" ... lots of citations to primary sources of the caliber included by c.i. in his posts. You should not condemn BernardR and praise c.i. for doing the same thing.
Thank You,Ticomaya!!!!
With the medical grade stuff I got, THREE hits is enough fror me.
There's no cure for stupid.

Gee Willikers, I am still amazed that there is an argument about this.
Ginger212, WELCOME to A2K. It is amazing, but what is it that is amazing to you?
The man hasn't told the truth in years, dry drunks are like that :wink:
RNDP, WELCOME to A2K. I'm not so sure that dry drunks are liars, but what is fascinating is simply just how so many people in the US still believes Bush tells the truth.
There are so many evidence to prove otherwise, how do people continue to ignore his lies? That's the mystery of our times.

State Of the Union Analysis
From Address was full of lies, contradictions by Andrew Meyer
Sickening. Watching George W. Bush take the podium Wednesday night can be described as nothing else. Nevertheless, I stomached the entire State of the Union address and observed something I already knew: W can't go five seconds without contradicting himself or just plain lying. Here are a few excerpts from his speech:
"We are working with European allies to make clear to the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrichment program and any plutonium reprocessing."
Reality: England, France and Germany are negotiating with Iran over these issues. Yet, despite the European Union's urgings, the administration is steering clear of these discussions altogether. If the United States does not step in as Bush claims we have, Iran will become a nuclear power.
"We are working closely with governments in Asia to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions."
Again, this is false. The six-party talks involving the United States, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea are in suspension. Bush has rejected diplomacy in this instance, saying it would "reward bad behavior." North Korea resumed reprocessing two years ago and most likely has built a couple nukes since.
"There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass destruction - but no longer without attention and without consequence."
That's a strange thing to say when we apparently are ignoring both Iran and North Korea. It's funny Bush was so concerned about WMDs a couple of years ago, but now most of our military is committed to the one "Axis of Evil" country without any.

Here's what Bush said:
Bush's Claim
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."

We all are now aware of what happened to Wilson and Valerie Plame for discounting the administration's 'yellow cake from Niger' story.
