"Quibble over 3 years ago.." Thousands dead are a "quibble"?
Just heard Tony Snow dismiss the report that there were no ties between Al-Queda and Saddam as a "quibble".

I wonder how the families of the dead GI's feel about having their useless deaths dismissed as a "quibble"?

Or, the fact that the whole Middle East is now aflame because of BushCo's desire to look "tough" by invading, and occupying a sovereign country illegally, bringing about a civil war in that country, and continuing to kill people there.

These are the same bastards who got into office by demanding "accountability" and "responsibility".

Quibble?

4. Tony is half-right.
quib·ble Pronunciation (kwbl)
intr.v. quib·bled, quib·bling, quib·bles
1. To evade the truth or importance of an issue by raising trivial distinctions and objections.

I'm just not clear on what the WH 'trivial distinctions and objections' are.

5. You apparently have not heard the term OFU
One Fodder Unit = one American soldier's life. These bastards don't give a damn about anyone, they'd hang their own for a extra dime. Justice is coming.

6. Kinda like reserves and their families "quibbling" about being sent to
the quagmire for the 3rd or 4th tours. Of course, they "volunteered for this" which means evidently the repub's can keep sending them back and back and back and back and back again while supporting them with those magnets on their 12 mpg SUV's, sending more and more gas money to Saudi and Iran which end up in you-know-who's hands.
