Hey Clare!

[vraiblonde]

Look what that stinky Bush did - he painted a picture of Saddam with the burning towers behind him! Then he planted it in one of Saddam's houses so soldiers would find it and everyone would think Saddam had something to do with the WTC attacks. Boy, you sure can't trust those Republicans!

I've heard reports of americans as well as others have had similar photos. It is no secret that saddam doesn't like the US, we can see why he would enjoy such a picture

 

[vraiblonde]

Yes, ST, and I can see why a nation's leader would have his portrait done in front of a burning WTC. Heck, it's THE in thing - they're ALL having it done. Chirac, Schroeder, Putin - it's become a collector's item.

 

[SmallTown]

You would if you really hated america.

When someone hates America as much as he does, he would take great pride in associating himself with the single most deadliest attack on american soil ever, regardless if it is a true association.
After all, if leaders who were associated had similar pics, we would expect the leaders of saudi arabia to have them since most of the hijackers were from there.

There you go again. Who says the Saudi government had anything to do with it? Did the Clinton Administration have anything to do with the OK City bombing? It was done by an American, wasn't it? And Clinton was the head of government, wasn't he? By your reasoning, Clinton should have a big painting done of himself in front of the Murrah Building.

So what was your message to clare with regards to the pic? Some half-a$$ attempt to "prove" that saddam brought down the buildings? What a laugh. Disturbing picture, yes. The only problem with it is that leaders throughout the world who hate the US are upset because they didn't come up with the portrait idead themselves. We've known saddam was a sick man for some time now, I really don't see how this picture sheds any more light onto that.
But good attempt with turning devils adovocate and the whole "republican conspiracy" thing... I give you two thumbs up for creativity.

Don't be absurd. How could a portrait "prove" anything?

But this portrait, combined with the Al Qaeda training camps found in Iraq, are some preeeeeetty strong indicators.

That's what kills me about you, Clare, Jlab and a few others on here. In your zeal to bash George Bush, you don't believe what's right in front of your face. It doesn't excite you that we're finding all these WMD parts. Doesn't excite you that they're finding all these terrorist training camps. This here portrait doesn't excite you. But BY GOD Bush better not mention British intelligence in the SoU! And he BETTER release every word of every report he gets from the CIA.

See, this is where you go off on a tangent... This has nothing to do with Bush at all.
Republicans are the ones always taking things "by the book", and then they come across a painting (which we are well aware are not actual photographs of real things) and suddenly you are jumping up and down. I mean, if this painting makes you sleep better at night, so be it... Thank god Bush didn't parade this in front of the UN saying "Look! Here is your proof! We have this painting and training camps! They must be the ones who brought down the twin towers, lets get him!"

I'm an american. I, along with everyone on here lost something when those two towers went down. Nothing would make me happier to see everyone involved brought to justice. But I need more than fictional paintings and training camps before I'm satisfied we have the right people. And then you throw in the notion of pieces of WMD being found. As I recall, no WMD were used in that attack, so if you're using the painting and training camps to support you notion that saddam was involved in 9/11, you might want to refrain from mentioning wmd.

 

[vraiblonde]

*ho hum* Still only using half my brain. I'll let you know when I have to ramp up.

Bush (and Clinton) said Saddam had WMD. The libs (and you!) pooh-poohed it. Bush also said that Saddam was involved in the 9-11 attacks. Again, the libs (and you!) pooh-poohed. Now they're finding evidence that, indeed, both statements are true. Can't stand it, can you?

Pieces usually mean there was a whole at some point.

What's it like living with your head stuck in the sand? Does it, like, get up your nose or anything?

If you want to hang your hat on a fictional picture, be my guest. The rest of us like to work with actual evidence.

 

[SmallTown]

Oh my God! Rummy helped saddam plan the whole thing!

[SmallTown]

Looking at that painting has really increased your mythical mind... I don't see any talks of criticizing Bush. In that mind of yours, someone how you correlate the fact you like this painting, and my not trusting of dubya, to somehow mean that my critical thinking towards the painting is anti-Bush? Now THAT is a good one.

 

[Kain99]

Vrai I just luv ya girl! Can't wait for Clare's response... Oh wait, she'll probably just echo ST. Liberals!

In that mind of yours, you have busted out my distrust of dubya, and how, irrationally and immaturely, I am anti-Bush. I'm ashamed of myself.

 

[SmallTown]

Interesting. Changing someones words when you quote them... And I thought the liberals were the ones being accused of "revisionist history"
