Bush contradicts himself

[Cheeta]

"Listen, first of all, you never want a president to say 'never.' But
military action is certainly not -- it's never the president's first choice.
Diplomacy is always the president's first -- at least my first choice."

Was it also his first choice when attacking Iraq?

Inspectors were on the ground and doing their jobs and he did not give
diplomacy a chance.

A politician contradicting himself?...you don't say....really?

 

[Peeping Tom]

So, where's the contradiction? Twelve years of failed diplomacy was a little overboard, twelve years of stonewalling from our "allies" in old europe, twelve years for french oligarchs to fatten themselves with oil bribes, twelve years of the left idolizing that pathetic sultan. America gave every last inch to this diplomacy.

1.George Bush is the master stonewaller himself (he stonewalled the 9/11 commission so well)

2.US oligarchs fattened themselves way more than the French - we gave Saddam chemical and biological weapons in the 1980s, then in the 1990s Cheney did business with Saddam while he was head of Haliburton

3.I don't know what planet you are from, but the left in the US did not idolize Saddam, that's a ridiculous statement
