A message to you neocons from a fellow warmonger.

Kind of like when he said that Colin Powell vehemently disagreed with everyone and their mother about Bush's stance on the war, without actually ASKING POWELL.

I figured there probably wasn't much truth to it. Common sense just says that that wouldn't be possible. The president just doesn't have that kind of influence.

This read is thought provoking, but i disagree with it.

now if bush was killing my neighbors kids, sure I'd like someone to kick some ass and take him out, but he's not so I dont see how you can compare bush/saddam

Thank you. Someone good to see there are a good amount of people here with an ounce of sense.

Jeepnut, a President doesn't have that kind of power, but a businessman does, and the Bush family has done business with many notable Middle Eastern families (Most notably the Bin Laden family, which every liberal tries to use against the Bush's even though Osama has been disassociated with his family for the past 16 years). Of all the rumors about Bush, I actually think this is the most likely, even though there is no real proof behind it. Hell, if I was president I'd try and ink a deal to lower the gas prices as well if it would get me re-elected. Its no different than democrats inking lucrative and often borderline unconstitutional state contracts with Unions for votes (See California Debt).
