Hmmm, no links in your post 1599, but I believe you if you say you provided this information previously. Sometimes I skim these threads that get my blood boiling, so as to keep my cystolic within healthy range.

Sorry if I missed it.

I'm back now.

^ Oh, oops. It was a quote, not a link. But the quote was from the link in Nephythys' OP #1595.

Live up to your own standards- do not misrepresent me either.

You may not like my bluntness or my admitted lack of tact when dealing with some issues- that does not give you license to personally malign and attack me, or tell me what my intent is- or that I am "frothing" as if I am some rabid dog.

You have been insulting and rude.

Cheers- off to vote.

From the same article:

Quote:

In the same interview, Bush said he did not foresee a change in the immediate future in the number of U.S. troops in Iraq. He said that U.S. generals have assured him that "they've got what they can live with."

What they can live with? What the hell does that mean? Hom many times has Bush said that whatever the generals ask for, they will get? What they have asked for and what they can live with sure sound like two very different things to me.

Not that it is a surprise or anything.

CNN and MSNBC are both reporting this, while FauxNews is doing it's usual bang-up job of not spinning by not reporting.

Looks like the Neo-Rats are deserting the sinking ship: Bush screwed it up!.

Gosh...maybe Fox news didn't report it because what Perle said was completely misrepresented.

From a statement made by Perle yesterday:

Quote:

I believed we should not repeat that mistake with Saddam Hussein, that we could not responsibly ignore the threat that he might make weapons of mass destruction available to terrorists who would use them to kill Americans. I favored removing his regime. And despite the current difficulties, I believed, and told Mr. Rose, that “if we had left Saddam in place, and he had shared nerve gas with al Qaeda, or some other terrorist organization, how would we compare what we’re experiencing now with that?”

I believe the president is now doing what he can to help the Iraqis get to the point where we can honorably leave. We are on the right path.

Now that doesn't sound like someone leaving the ship. It sounds like he believes there are some things we could be doing better, and those items were taken out of context. The nedia trying lying to someone to get a sound bite to try to influence the election? I'm shocked!

Did MSNBC or CNN report that soundbite? Could be. I don't know....but I doubt it.

If this was Kerry, of course, it would be understood that when Bush said "what they can live with" is the same as "what they need". After all, if you can live with it, you have what you need, right?

I AM SHOCKED AND APPALLED BY SUCH SPIN, MBC!

That's one big if. I'll be waiting for Bush (or his peeps) to issue the correction to his statement.
