#4 This must be lies. Remember - Bush lied. Kerry's position will be - "I would not have handled it this way. It was sheer incompetence for Bush to lead people to believe there were no WMDs after leading them to believe there were WMDs. And now he has the audacity to say there really were WMDs, but amazingly he doesn't know where they are. This kind of incompetence is distressing. Certainly when I was in Vietnam, we knew this kind of incompetence was - well, not competent."

#5 I agree Sam. And Bush is in favor of torture too, and for not complying with the Geneva Contravention.

#6 Yes Jennifer, the Geneva Contravention explicitly dictates how prisoners are to be treated, yet Bush can't read so he doesn't know about it...and...and...oh why bother you're just too funny!!

#7 Rafael...

The Geneva convention also has specific provisions on WHO can be considered a POW...

These provisions are there FOR A REASON...

Some find it silly, but not having people disguised as civilians, among civilians, fighting, using said civilians as human shielding is important to some of us...

And according to the Geneva Conventions doing so makes you not qualify for POW status...

Read it sometime..

And the recent articles about the "memo" are just about that... Al Qeada fighting in violations of the Geneva Conventions...

#8 Well, well, well, democrats--what have we to say now? Sadly I know your answer...first we'd have to find 1 weapon of mass destruction, then we'd have to find 2, then a dozen, then only ones that kill thousands, then someone would actually have to use them first before you would take a stand...on whatever free ground remained...

#9 Sonic, I was referring to the Geneva Contravention. It supercedes the Geneva Convention.

#10 About a month ago Kerry(I served in Viet Nam)spelled out first Demo line-while some WMDs may be found,they weren't a threat to US that justified unilateral attack agaist wishes of our allies.The Demo talking heads turned that into STOCKPILES have to be found!If Un report gets any traction(doubtful-no pictures of rows of weapons that might convince honest doubters),expect expansion of Kerry(I served in Viet Nam)theme.The weapons weren't a threat,Saddam would never have used against US,bungling Bush Administration angered our "allies",mishandled war,isn't capable of transition,etc.,besides that's all in past,can't we just move on and talk about how bad economy is.

#11 Yes, Bush is in favor of torture. No more pictures. But since the Italians thwarted a ciqada plot to blow up a PARIS subway this weekend, I guess Chirac has had an epiphany?

We need to do what we need to do with terrorists who are not part of the former Iraqi army, which is who the Geneva Convention applies to in Abu Gherib - Not Sadrite or Fedayen troublemakers who take orders from God-knows-where.

Bravo Italy for pulling the frog nougahs out of the fire, before one happened onb a Paris subway this weekend.

Bravo Bush for all the "squeezed" info that prevented attacks on us!

#14 You either treat prisoners according to international treaties and convention or you treat them according to basic principles of fairness.

Take your pick becuase you can't do both. If you choose international treaties then if torture is not explictly prohibited in defined circumstances then you are free to torture.

This rather obvious piece of logic is of course beyond the understanding of the Left/Media.

#15 I think we should introduce Jennifer to Charlie Johnson sometime. Politely, of course.

#16 Jules:

It's very simple. [Crinkle][Crinkle][Crinkle]
OK, now that I have a tinfoil hat on...

Since Saddam shipped them out, then they were not actually present when we attacked, so Bush lied, so...

#17 But Assad wants peace. Can't you hear him? He sounds so far away.
