2. Is this brief enough?
No WMD in Iraq: Will it influence your vote for President?

My comment:

Why shouldn't it?

3. Ooooh. I was BAD. Here are the comments I sent:
I am very disappointed that no WMDs were found. I felt sure that they would be found whether or not they were actually there to begin with. I guess, in their arrogance, this administration did not find it necessary to lend any credibility whatsoever to their "mission".

5. :)
As a life long Republican voter, for the first time in my politically aware life, I truely feel betrayed. I held out hope for this administration as long as I could, but now it is obvious they hold no regard for human life. They have sent our sons and daughters to die for their own agenda. I will not be voting for this administration again; and I hope that the first action by a new administration is to put these men on trial.

6. Hope this helps!
"Are you people nuts? Saddam was just a big faker, and our "leadership" got taken in by him. What a colossal waste of time, money, bullets and blood! We look like fools....:("

8. Hell yes
You bet the absence of WMDs in Iraq influences my vote. On Nov. 2 I will be voting for John Kerry. I didn't vote in 2000, because I foolishly thought there no difference between Bush and Gore. I now see that George W. Bush is the worst president we have ever had, so for the good of the country I am working for his defeat.

10. I said no
because absence of WMD's will not change my opinion of who I'm voting for. Tricky question that can be spun every which way.

13. True, this is not the only issue affecting my vote
but the obviously unnecessary and criminal war on Iraq was the key issue that motivated me to update my voter registration, and made me determined to vote--and contribute to the Democrats--this year. Same for several other people I know.

12. My short response:
The big lie is believed quicker than the small lie, but when you identify one, you have to believe that more remain undiscovered. A man does not lie once.

I wrote, "You call this NEWS?"
"Of course there were no instantly deployable WMDs--he wouldn't have invaded otherwise, and he HAD to invade before the weapons inspectors found that out. No weapons, no invasion, no oil, no war profiteering, no base of operations from which to take over the rest of the Middle East!"

15. Here's the message I sent
"The most colossal blunder in American history. Will anyone believe us next time, when there really IS a danger? Or has Bush cried wolf too loudly (or would that be Wolfowitz)? We need a new president to restore our national credibility."

16. Sorry, dupe

But it gives me chance say what I wish I'd added: "Which explains why there was no exit strategy--he's not building 14 peramanent military bases in Iraq for the exercise!"

No WMD? I thought you media whores said Saddam Hussein attacked us with antrax on 9/11? It's a good thing I NEVER believe anything you say. Aren't you glad you drank the koolaid and licked King George's boots for the last four years? Now he's going to lose the election, and your RUINED for life. You can't be a news channel when you have ZERO credibility

20. Here's my comment:
"We've had hints all along the George W. Bush is a liar. A question yet to be answered--Why did MSNBC and most of the 'Mainstream' media let him get away with the lies? Shame on you all."

21. What I would say
if the link worked for me. (I'm out in the midle of nowhere on a crappy dial up.)


Looks like the UN Resolutions and the sanctions did indeed work. Saddam disarmed in the 90s, he just didn't tell anybody. We would have found out without this tremendous loss of life and resources if we had just been patient and let the inspectors do their job.

22. here's what I said
After the administration guaranteed that Iraq had WMD, there are none? Were we intentionally mislead, or are they dangerously incompetent? Either way, it is time for change in leadership.

23. My comment. Obviously clumsy and wordy.

----------------------
It offends me that they cherry-picked the info to see what they wanted to see, but I must say I am not surprised.
The Bush administration has FAR outdone even Nixon in weaving layer upon layer of deceit. Whether it be on their carefully crafted con job on Iraq, or their constant misrepresentation of John Kerry's record and positions, they use their power to deceive in the most blatant way I have EVER seen. Heck, they even lie about things that don't matter, which can only lead me to believe they have some compulsive need to do so. I think the American people are beginning to see through them, and hope enough of them open their eyes to this fact by election day.
-------------------

You guys are great!
I tend to ramble.
Compound sentences are anti-american I tells ya!:eyes:

Edited 'cause I posted too soon. Trigger finger.
