TRACKBACKS
In response to the last post: "Proving that Bush did not lie" ??? How on earth does that "prove that Bush did not lie"? No one ever claimed THAT as one of Bush's lies. His lies are well documented in history, the literature, and the media. What are you talking about? What would it take to prove that Bush did not lie? The fact you list does not even disprove ONE of Bush's lies, because he never talked about that. It must be nice to live in a world where you can "prove" things that easily. You can just believe anything, and prove it with some fact that is related only in a tertiary way.

Will you really report the secrets of Iraq? I read something today that I haven't heard a word about in the main steam media. According to the Washington times today an unamed official says that some documents translated from Saddam docments is showing that indeed he was seeking uranium from Africa in the 1990's. Proving that Bush did not lie as the liberal media and democrats have been saying. The post below me talks about Joseph Wilson it seems that maybe he was just wrong or maybe he is liberal trying to bash Bush and make him look bad. I know it would be hard on this news station to report this and this will not get posted on your web site. If you would like to read the article go to NewsMax.com. If however you do get enough guts to publish this post I would be proud of you. It would renew some of the faith I have in the mainsteam media.

I'll be watching but most of those secrets are out and more are coming. We invaded Iraq and the plan was done long before 9/11. Notice all the Bush Administration that was involved in the CIA Leak. It was to keep secret the real reason and Wilson was the problem so the Bush Administration took care of it. Lets see tonight just how much info you have as some of us have family in this invasion and get their first hand view.

I don't understand how the most invincible force in the world couldn't foresee or plan accordingly to head off the insurgency or offer tranquility in Iraq after our so called "Mission Accomplished". We are now more engaged in Iraq then when we came in during the 2003 campaign.
I want us to win the War on Terror, Win the War In Iraq and defeat terror where it is, but we need to rethink our strategy in Iraq, we are getting to bogged down with the insurgency - - it needs to be nipped in the bud in one felt swoop and not after we are ambushed by insurgents.
One fault lying in between our success in Iraq, is that I fear our military commanders are afraid to report the truth to Bush - which just like Saddam's own commanders, led to defeat. Bush needs to get the real deal in terms of feedback and not the rosy version of it - because only then can we and will we win the War.
We will win the War on Terror and the War in Iraq - we just need some fresh ideas and honesty in what needs to get done.
