Ladies and Gentlemen this is my "once in a blue moon" soapbox moment.
Neither you all nor I have any right what-so-ever to label someone a hypocrite. Face the facts, there isn't a single living adult on this planet who can say they've never been self-contradictory. Okay so there are a VERY select few, but you can count them all on one hand and none of them are in this forum. Why are you looking for the sawdust in Bush's eye when you have a 4x4 sticking out of yours? Thank you for your time and patience. P.S. Yes I do realise that I too have been hypocritical; there are no justifiable excuses. We may all choose to rationalize, but all we will come out with are rational lies.

Well its all really silly if you think about it,looking at it from a realistic point of view..
I mean come on, what are the chances of the Hussien reigme to conduct it fairly? Or the Bush adminastraition for that mater. Both sides wold have assasians all over the place. Oh my god, listen to our selfs. We are actaully talking about Bush and Hussien duking it out. And hey, that whole thing about the liberals isnt true! I mean, think about...Well theres...Hmm..Well none spring to mind right away but I am sure there are some [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yorick there are many words in existance that are better off not used, but that is beside the point. You obviously only read the part that said we have no right to call Bush a hypocrite. All you have managed to do with your post is rationalies... err.. um.. I mean rationalize. Also, I did not say they are always hypocrites; I said no one can claim that they have never been hypocritical.
P.S. happy Dundee? [ 10-06-2002, 01:43 AM: Message edited by: Firestormalpha ]

It can be a helpful wakeup call to the person concerned. Anyway what's your issue here? You're disagreeing just for the point of it, it seems. Bush is applying double standards and practicing hypocrisy by calling on people to die for his goal of removing Saddam and Saddam alone, and then not even taking seriously an opportunity to remove him without war. Or he's lying about the 'regime change' goal. If that's the case then it's "Ave Julius Bush. Et tu America? Then fall another republic." |

I say it's a damn good thing there are liberals to keep the conservatives in check. I would really like to know when liberal became a dirty word.

To get back at that supposed duel, what did the Iraqi's have in mind ? What kind of duel are we talking about here ? A pistol duel ? Maybe a swordfight ? A boxingmatch ? WHAT ?

mark, they changed the subject because it hurts them to admit that their president is, in the end, a bloody coward.
edit: oh, and i clarify that i think most, if not all, presidents are cowards, since none would be willing to risk their precious lives for their country. they are more than willing to risk others, of course. [ 10-06-2002, 07:48 AM: Message edited by: norompanlasolas ]
