You're acting like this is a discussion about opinions. It's really not. It's about conclusions drawn from facts. I've provided many arguments about why Saddam/Iraq was not a thread in 2003. You have provided arguments but I've either demonstrated that they are wrong or they're referring to Iraq in the early 90s which is an entirely different situation than the one we had in 2003.

I expected Gore to fight a lot harder for what he had earned. I voted for Cobb in 2004, so that doesn't really matter.

A lie of omission is still a lie, Ace. He omitted all the evidence that didn't support the picture he wanted to paint both to the American people and to Congress. I don't know why you'd be surprised that people were and are pretty fucking pissed about that.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm Green. DC will have to explain his support of the Democrats in Congress to you. All I can do is tell you how much I don't like Cynthia McKinney and how I wish Kucinich would join my party.
