"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them.
That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
This was a quote from President Clinton during a presentation at the
Pentagon defending a decision to conduct military strikes against
Iraq.
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is
clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of
mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
Bill Clinton went to the Pentagon on this occasion to be briefed by
top military officials about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.
His remarks followed that briefing.
"Iraq is a long way from USA but, what happens there matters a great
deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use
nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is
the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
This is a quote from Albright during an appearance at Ohio State
University by Albright, who was Secretary of State for Bill Clinton.
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten
times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
This was at the same Ohio State University appearance as Madeline
Albright.
"We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the
U.S.Constitution and Laws, to take necessary actions, (including, if
appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to
respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle,
John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
According to the U.S. Senate website, the text of this letter was
signed by several Senators, both Democrat and Republican, including
Senator John McCain and Joseph Lieberman.
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region
and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
The text of this statement by Nancy Pelosi is posted on her
congressional website.
"Hussein has .. chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
This was from an appearance Albright made in Chicago.
She was addressing the embargo of Iraq that was in effect at the time
and criticism that it may have prevented needed medical supplies from
getting into the country. Albright said, "There has never been an
embargo against food and medicine. It's just that Hussein has just not
chosen to spend his money on that. Instead, he has chosen to spend his
money on building weapons of mass destruction, and palaces for his
cronies."

"Reports that say something hasn't happened are always
interesting to me, because as we know, there are known
knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know
there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there
are some things we do not know. But there are also
unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
-- Donald Rumsfeld,
=========================
"I understand how hard it is to commit troops. Never wanted to commit
troops. When I was running -- when we had the debate in 2000, never
dreamt I'd be doing that. But the enemy attacked us, Jim, and I have a
solemn duty to protect the American people, to do everything I can to
protect us."
- George W. Bush, September 30, 2004
"We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the
September 11th attacks."
- George W. Bush, September 17, 2003
"I think the important thing for us is not to be overly fixated on
Saddam Hussein."
"How many American lives is toppling Saddam Hussein worth? My answer
to that is not very damn many."
- ***** Cheney, on Face the Nation, January 1992
"The State Department officially released its annual terrorism report
just a little more than an hour ago, but unlike last year, there's no
extensive mention of alleged terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. A
senior State Department official tells CNN the U.S. government made a
mistake in focusing so much energy on bin Laden and 'personalizing terrorism.'"
-- CNN, 4/30/2001.
"We should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter
our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken
tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless
hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in
what would be an unwinable urban guerilla war, it could only plunge that
part of the world into ever greater instability."
- George H. W. Bush in his 1998 book "A World Transformed",
--"We were concerned about the long-term balance of power at the head of
the Gulf...The coalition would instantly have collapsed...Going in and
occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally
exceeding the U.N.'s mandate,would have destroyed the precedent of
international response to aggression we hoped to establish .Had we gone
the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power
in a bitterly hostile land. It would have
been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."
-- George Herbert Walker Bush

KERRY VS. KERRY Kerry's Top Ten Iraq Flip Flops From First Debate
___________________________________________________
VIEW THE "KERRY VS. KERRY" DEBATE VIDEO HERE:
http://media1.streamtoyou.com/rnc/100104v1.wmv
ONE: Claimed "I'll Never Give A Veto To Any Country Over Our
Security." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL,
9/30/04)
ü Preemption Must Pass "Global Test" First. "No president, though all
of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to
preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America.
But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes
the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your
people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can
prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons." (Sen. John
Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Would Wait On French And Russians To Defend America. SEN.
JOHN KERRY: "I would have done what was necessary to know that you had
exhausted the available remedies with the French and the Russians."
(MSNBC's "Hardball," 10/20/03)
TWO: Claimed "Reason For Going To War Was Weapons Of Mass Destruction,
Not The Removal Of Saddam Hussein." (Sen. John Kerry, First
Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Said "Greatest Threat" Was Saddam's "Miscalculation," Not
"Actual" WMDs. KERRY: "I would disagree with John McCain that it's
the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it's
what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation
about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel.
Those are the things that - that I think present the greatest danger.
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist
groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United
States. It's the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." (CBS'
"Face The Nation," 9/15/02)
THREE: Claimed "This President Has Made, I Regret To Say, A Colossal
Error Of Judgment. And Judgment Is What We Look For In The President
Of The United States Of America." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential
Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Questioned Judgment Of Those Claiming Saddam's Capture Didn't
Help U.S. Security. "Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world
would be better off without Saddam Hussein and those who believe today
that we are not safer with his capture don't have the judgment to be
president or the credibility to be elected president." (CNN's "Capital
Gang," 12/20/03; Anne Q. Hoy, "Dean Faces More Criticism," [New York]
Newsday, 12/17/03)
FOUR: Complained "We Are 90 Percent Of The Casualties And 90 Percent
Of The Cost: $200 Billion - $200 Billion That Could Have Been Used For
Health Care, For Schools, For Construction, For Prescription Drugs For
Seniors, And It's In Iraq." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential
Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Pledged To Fund Reconstruction With "Whatever Number" Of
Dollars It Took. NBC'S TIM RUSSERT: "Do you believe that we should
reduce funding that we are now providing for the operation in Iraq?"
SEN. JOHN KERRY: "No. I think we should increase it." RUSSERT:
"Increase funding?" KERRY: "Yes." RUSSERT: "By how much?" KERRY: "By
whatever number of billions of dollars it takes to win. It is critical
that the United States of America be successful in Iraq, Tim." (NBC's
"Meet The Press," 8/31/03)
FIVE: Claimed "You Don't Send Troops To War Without The Body Armor
That They Need." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami,
FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Said It Would Be Reckless And "Irresponsible" To Vote Against
Funding For Troops. LOS ANGELES TIMES' DOYLE McMANUS: "If that
amendment does not pass, will you then vote against the $87 billion?"
KERRY: "I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon
our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result
of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible. What is
responsible is for the administration to do this properly now. And I
am laying out the way in which the administration could unite the
American people, could bring other countries to the table, and I think
could give the American people a sense that they' re on the right
track. There's a way to do this properly. But I don't think anyone in
the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our
troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to
cut and run and not do the job." (CBS' "Face The Nation," 9/14/03)
ü Kerry Voted Against Senate Passage Of Iraq/Afghanistan
Reconstruction Package That Included "Money For Body Armor For
Soldiers." (S. 1689, CQ Vote #400: Passed 87-12: R 50-0; D 37-11; I
0-1, 10/17/03, Kerry Voted Nay; "Highlights Of Iraq, Afghanistan
Measures," The Associated Press, 10/17/03)
ü '"I Actually Did Vote For The $87 Billion Before I Voted Against
It,' [Kerry] Said."(Glen Johnson, "Kerry Blasts Bush On Protecting
Troops," The Boston Globe, 3/17/04)
SIX: Said Americans In Iraq Not Dying For "Mistake." PBS' JIM LEHRER:
"Are Americans now dying in Iraq for a mistake?" KERRY: "No, and they
don't have to, providing we have the leadership that we put - that I'm
offering." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL,
9/30/04)
ü Earlier In Debate, Kerry Called Iraq War "Mistake." "We can't leave
a failed Iraq. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake of judgment
to go there and take the focus off of Osama bin Laden. It was." (Sen.
John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü "But The President Made A Mistake In Invading Iraq." (Sen. John
Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
SEVEN: Said Knowing What He Knows Now, "Would Not" Have Authorized Use
Of Force. "What I think troubles a lot of people in our country is
that the president has just sort of described one kind of mistake. But
what he has said is that, even knowing there were no weapons of mass
destruction, even knowing there was no imminent threat, even knowing
there was no connection with al Qaeda, he would still have done
everything the same way. Those are his words. Now, I would not."
(Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Said Knowing What He Knows Now, "Would Have Voted For The
Authority." SEN. JOHN KERRY: "Yes, I would have voted for the
authority. I believe it's the right authority for a president to have.
But I would have used that authority as I have said throughout this
campaign, effectively. I would have done this very differently from
the way President Bush has." (CNN's "Inside Politics," 8/9/04)
EIGHT: Claimed "The President Says That I'm Denigrating These Troops.
I Have Nothing But Respect For The British, Tony Blair, And For What
They've Been Willing To Do." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential
Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Dismissed Coalition Partners As "Window Dressing" And Claimed
They're Not Sharing Burden Of War And Reconstruction. CNN'S BILL
HEMMER: "The White House would say that dozens of countries are
helping now in the effort on the ground in Iraq and they are engaged
with the U.N., as well, how would more international involvement
prevent the violence we're seeing today?" SEN. JOHN KERRY: "Well, the
fact is that those countries are really window dressing to the
greatest degree. And they weren't there in the beginning when we went
in, and they're not carrying the cost of this war." (CNN's "American
Morning," 3/2/04)
NINE: Claimed "I've Had One Position, One Consistent Position, That
Saddam Hussein Was A Threat." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential
Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü Kerry Said, "We Now Know That Iraq Had No Weapons Of Mass
Destruction, And Posed No Imminent Threat To Our Security." (Sen. John
Kerry, Remarks At New York University, New York, NY, 9/20/04)
TEN: Claimed "My Position Has Been Consistent: Saddam Hussein Is A
Threat. He Needed To Be Disarmed." (Sen. John Kerry, First
Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
ü "Saying There Are Weapons Of Mass Destruction In Iraq Doesn't Make
It So." (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks To Democrat National Convention,
Boston, MA, 7/29/04)
ü "I Have Always Said We May Yet Even Find Weapons Of Mass
Destruction." (Fox News' "Fox News Sunday," 12/14/03)

WHY W. DOESN'T GO TO CHURCH.
Empty Pew
by Amy Sullivan
http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?pt=vKO1twmWG2Uvnyi2qoWQfW%3D%3D
Most Americans are aware that George W. Bush is a religious man. He is,
after all, the man who presided over a religious revival of sorts at the
Republican National Convention. He is the man who has pioneered what
could be called cardio-diplomacy, judging world leaders--and, at times,
entire nations--by their "hearts." He is the subject of at least four
spiritual hagiographies currently in bookstores, and one religious
documentary ("George W. Bush: Faith in the White House"). Most famously,
Americans know him as the man who, when asked to cite the philosopher who
had the greatest influence on him, named Jesus Christ.
What most--including many of the president's fiercest supporters--don't
know, however, is that Bush doesn't go to church. Sure, when he weekends
at Camp David, Bush spends Sunday morning with the compound's chaplain.
And, every so often, he drops in on the little Episcopal church across
Lafayette Park from the White House. But the president who has staked
much of his domestic agenda on the argument that religious communities
hold the key to solving social problems doesn't belong to a congregation.
It should be a politically intriguing story. Bush is one of the most
explicitly religious politicians in American history. Both of his
presidential campaigns have used religion to appeal emotionally to
voters. The entire philosophy behind his signature slogan,
"compassionate conservatism," rests on the belief that religious
communities have a unique ability to tend to the nation's social ills.
And yet, after the flood of coverage around Bush's first--and
only--visit to a neighborhood church during inauguration weekend in
Washington, D.C., no one has bothered to report on the president's
whereabouts on Sunday mornings.
Around Washington, D.C., it's considered bad form to point out that Bush
doesn't regularly attend church. "You don't have to go to church to be a
good religious person," argue his defenders. And they're right. They have
made much political hay, however, over polls that indicate
Democratic voters attend church less frequently than Republicans, so even
the most brazen feel compelled to offer explanations for Bush's absence
from church membership rolls.
The first excuse conservatives provide is that Bush can't possibly be
expected to have time to go to church, what with being leader of the free
world and all. Yet, during Jimmy Carter's four years in the White House,
he found time not only to attend a Baptist church in the
Washington, D.C., area, but to teach Sunday school there as well. For a
presidential delegator like Bush--who has freed up enough time to spend
approximately one-third of his presidency on vacation--finding a few
hours for church should be a snap.
But, even if Bush had the time for church services, supporters protest,
the security precautions necessary for a presidential visit would drive
congregants away. This is the exact same argument the Reagan White House
trotted out to explain why the patron saint of the religious right hardly
ever attended church from 1981 to 1989. Bomb-sniffing dogs, metal
detectors, and security personnel, so the theory goes, would pose an
onerous burden for the average church. "The president wants to avoid the
sort of major weekly disruption that would be caused if he went to
church," says David Aikman, author of A Man of Faith: The Spiritual
Journey of George W. Bush.
As it happens, I attended Foundry United Methodist Church for several
years during the late '90s when the Clintons were members there. The only
imposition was the extra ten seconds it took to walk through a metal
detector. Parishioners did not leave the church in droves; on the
contrary, many were pleasantly surprised to find that the Clintons played
an active role in church life, particularly while Chelsea was involved in
the choir and youth group.
If time and security aren't the reasons, what excuse does that leave? The
very fact that the president doesn't attend church, some leading
conservatives insist, is proof of what a good Christian he is. Unlike
certain past presidents they could name but won't--ahem, cough, Bill
Clinton--Bush doesn't feel the need to prove his religiosity. "This
president has not made an issue of where he goes to church," says Michael
Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. "I find it refreshing
that we don't have a president coming out of church with a large Bible
under his arm." Conservatives relish this opportunity for a little
gratuitous Clinton-bashing. In private, however, they admit the
explanation doesn't hold up. "I really don't get it," one prominent Bush
partisan told me. "There's no reason why the president couldn't find a
church around here if he wanted to."
In truth, Bush probably doesn't spend Sunday morning watching "Meet the
Press" or wrestling with The New York Times crossword puzzle. He no doubt
observes the Sabbath in his own way, as do millions of Americans who
identify themselves as religious but don't attend church. Bush has been
shaped by a "small-group" mentality, emphasizing a one-on-one
relationship with God over the experience of Christian fellowship in a
community.
Or it could be that Bush's faith, while sincere, is not terribly deep.
Aikman, who had significant access to Bush confidantes while writing his
book, has said that he "could not get from anybody a sort of credo of
what [Bush] believes." Nevertheless, Aikman pressed on by "intuit[ing]"
Bush's faith and presenting as evidence of the president's deep
spiritual commitment his fondness for carrots and jogging (apparently a
response to the scriptural admonition to treat the body as a temple for
God) and the politeness of White House staffers ("though manners are not
specifically connected to George W.'s personal religious faith, it was as
though the discipline he brought to his own life of prayer and Bible
study filtered down into the work habits of everyone who worked with
him").
It shouldn't really matter. A president's religious habits often reveal
far less about his faith than the decisions he makes. But, more than any
other president, Bush has staked his political reputation on being a
devout man of faith. The implied and often explicit responsibility for
one another that undergirds congregational life is at the heart of Bush's
faith-based policy agenda. The fact that he isn't himself a member of a
congregation should be relevant.
It's not as if political reporters have ignored the church-going habits
of Bush's opponent. During the "John Kerry Wafer Watch," they have done
everything short of inspect the senator's molars for evidence of any
unswallowed Host. Hyperbole? A recent Kerry campaign pool report included
this observation: "Both Mr. and Mrs. received communion, taking the host
from the priests in their hands (others took direct to mouth). They spent
ample time on the kneeler."
When Bush moved to Washington in early 2001, many religious observers
bandied about the question of which church the incoming president would
attend. Four years later, the answer is hidden in plain sight: The
emperor has no church.

After his performance the last 4 years, I don't think church is going to
change where he ends up. He's going to be in a special room with Stalin,
Hitler, Pol Pot and so many others. He'll be the one holding his ankles.

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them.
That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
This was a quote from President Clinton during a presentation at the
Pentagon defending a decision to conduct military strikes against
Iraq.
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is
clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of
mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
Bill Clinton went to the Pentagon on this occasion to be briefed by
top military officials about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.
His remarks followed that briefing.
"Iraq is a long way from USA but, what happens there matters a great
deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use
nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is
the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
This is a quote from Albright during an appearance at Ohio State
University by Albright, who was Secretary of State for Bill Clinton.
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten
times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
This was at the same Ohio State University appearance as Madeline
Albright.
"We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the
U.S.Constitution and Laws, to take necessary actions, (including, if
appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to
respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle,
John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
According to the U.S. Senate website, the text of this letter was
signed by several Senators, both Democrat and Republican, including
Senator John McCain and Joseph Lieberman.
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region
and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
The text of this statement by Nancy Pelosi is posted on her
congressional website.
"Hussein has .. chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
This was from an appearance Albright made in Chicago.
She was addressing the embargo of Iraq that was in effect at the time
and criticism that it may have prevented needed medical supplies from
getting into the country. Albright said, "There has never been an
embargo against food and medicine. It's just that Hussein has just not
chosen to spend his money on that. Instead, he has chosen to spend his
money on building weapons of mass destruction, and palaces for his
cronies."
