Where are Hans Blix and Scott Ritter?

[buycitgo]

they have the facts at their fingertips

they should know what the exact status of inspectors' knowledge of WMD prolif was, including silly pieces of paper, and WMD related program activiy actions in progress.

I'm SO sick of seeing Kay lie his ass off to drooling supplicants who don't know their asses from the fourth of july.

there are HUNDREDS of people here who could really put Kay and his fellow apologists on the hotseat.

WHY on earth don't some frickin DEMS start using the resources available here and other places to get some BASIC talking points out there to counter the lies.

idiot DINO Evan Bayh, instead, is out there, toeing the pugline!

can't STAND that weasel. where are some people that will put the, uh, lie to all these lies?

oh.....part of it is that they won't ALLOW them on the air...forgot about that

some stuff on Blix/Kay coming up

1. comment from Scott Ritter

Scott Ritter, a former chief UN weapons and an outspoken critic of the invasion of Iraq, said last night: "I am at a loss to explain what happened in the UK and in the US. I think we were overwhelmed by the theocracy of evil in that we assumed he intended to obtain WMD and then everything that happened was interpreted with that assumption. It's insane."

3. I've been wondering the same thing

It seems really weird to me that EVERYONE that comes out with the truth on bu$h and his gang of thugs,suddenly disappear off the radar screen. I was wondering what happened to Paul O'Neil? Why doesn't this raise any eyebrows? I am so sick of the bu$h nazis getting their way about everything I could almost pull my hair out! :argh: Also....why are they refusing to let the 9-11 commission have more time for their investigation? The Whitehouse thugs are REFUSING!!! That seems VERY suspicious to me.....why aren't the dems raising hell? :grr:

4. when a hammer is your main tool for making money,

you look at everything in terms of a hammer. We can conceive of doing it to them, so maybe he will do it to us, so we'd better act first.
The chickens are coming home to roost boys and girls. Maybe there is hope for humanity yet.
