First off, did you know? Have you ever met Saddam Hussein? Ever even been to Iraq?
Intelligence gathered indicates that there was a high probability of WMDs in Iraq. You.......have never heard that? Hindsight is 20/20 bud.
Just because he acted on bad information from reliable sources, you want to say he is lying by taking that action. That is where things get skewed. Too much KKKarl Marx is hard on the thought processes.

Fuck dude, you need to a little more research on this subject. He knew there were no WMDs.
The only weapons they have are the ak-47s we sold them back in the 80's.

I find it an odd concept to think of the government as completely separate from the private sector. If you look at the Bush administration you will find that many of them are former oil industry executives. The largest relationship that blurs the lines is the military industrial complex where the majority of the annual Federal budget is spent.

Elder suggest that it's a better choice to have private sector over government by comparing FEMA to Wal-mart. That's also an odd concept. The fix would not be to employ Wal-mart as a disaster recovery contractor, they are not even in that business. Simply use"private sector" methodology on FEMA. Fire all the incompetent people and pay some people well to do the job right.

If the government was run correctly, more like FEMA was run under Clinton, There would have been a positive response to Katrina. Bill wouild have had the necessary equipment standing by in a safe area in Georgia or Alabama ready to go into New Orleans and Mississippi. The government can run these agencys if manned by knowledgable, responsible people, Good job Brownie, the horse whisperer.

Kinda like he KNEW that the world trade center was going to be destroyed before it happened. You make a really good case. CNN has a spot waiting for you. Karl Marx seems to have gone in his shell. Katrina, Patriot Act. Stick with those if you want to criticize the leader of the free world. Otherwise your just going to repeat lines from Michael Moore films like:

The government is NEVER run "correctly." Never has been, never will. Knowledgeable, responsible people belong in the private sector. Anybody ever worked for UPS or FedEx and then switched to the Postal Service? I wouldn't recommend trying it. The only thing government can do that the private sector MIGHT not be as good at is wage war. In th last couple hundred years or so, government has built railroads (with slaves) and paved roads. There is the work of your government. Everything else that government has done would be done much more efficiently and effectively by the private sector.
Ronald Reagan said it best:

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Why do you think that? What attracts people to the "private sector"?

Lets start with prosperity. Individual success/responsibility appeals to high achievers. Frustration with beurocracy and inefficiency. I really could go on for hours.

threatlevelorange ...

Now you've gone and done it! You've committed the worst offense here in the forum. You've actually pinned the socialists who post here right to the wall. Nice job!

George Tenet was head of the CIA when 9-11 occured. George Tenet was a CLINTON appointee. Bush relied on information regarding Saddam's WMD given to him by George Tenet. Bush asked Tenet if Saddam had WMD for sure. Tenet's answer was: "Its a slam dunk, Mr. President." Based upon intelligence, the entire world, including most Democrats believed Saddam had WMD ... including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and the drunken Ted Kennedy. So, for you guys to continually repeat the mantra of Moveon-org that Bush LIED about WMD, I have one thing to say to you ... You are out to lunch on this issue.
