O´Reilly. Moore was not answering the questions correctly and was using irrelevant comments. I mean what the hell is this:

BILL O'REILLY: The issues… all right good, now, one of the issues is you because you’ve been calling Bush a liar on weapons of mass destruction, the Senate Intelligence Committee, Lord Butler’s investigation in Britain, and now the 9/11 Commission have all come out and said there was no lying on the part of President Bush.  Plus, Vladimir Putin has said his intelligence told Bush there were weapons of mass destruction.  Wanna apologize to the president now or later?


MOORE: He didn’t tell the truth, he said there were weapons of mass destruction.

O'REILLY: Yeah, but he didn’t lie, he was misinformed by - all of those investigations come to the same conclusion, that’s not a lie.

MOORE: uh huh, so in other words if I told you right now that nothing was going on down here on the stage that would not be a lie?

so what if bush was misinformed.  what kind of fucking excuse is that?  thats a poor excuse that shouldn't stand.  If your son or daughter was killed in the war, would you accept that?  I sure fuckin wouldn't.  Bush is the President.  That is a huge responsibility.  Saying you are misinformed does not cut it in my book.  you think that would ever hold up in court? 

Oh, Judge, well I shot the man in the head and killed him, because everybody told me that he was out to kill me.  I mean, he never personally threatened me, but all my best friends said that he wanted to kill me.  So I just acted in my best interest and killed him.  Its not my fault, I was just misinformed.

yeah right.  poor fucking excuse.  apologize for your mistake and make it up to the parents of the dead soldiers.

What would you do if  the CIA, Brittan Intelligence, and Russian Intelligence were saying that there were WMDs in Iraq? Your the President of the United States of America,  you would not act to go to Iraq?

LOL..We are talking about the president here. Thats Apples and Oranges



Also I agree with you that Bush should go out in public and say that Iraq war to find WMDs was a mistake - due to bad intelligence from his sources.

Alright, so since Bush is so quick to take action, why the fuck didn't he take those terrorist attack warnings serious? Why did he ignore them?

Also, why the fuck did Bush tell his staff TO COME UP WITH AKA MAKE UP REASONS that would explain Iraq's involvement/ties to Al Qaeda? That's much worse than a liar. He fuckin told them to LIE so that he could give us a reasonable excuse to kill thousands of innocent people, remove Saddam, set a puppet government in place, and make his friends rich. The guy is scum and deserves to rot in hell.

I guess because he wasn't aware of the warnings, only the CIA knew, which was so fucked up at the time, they probably ignored the warnings.

Actually several of them have already stated that they informed the President, so there goes another argument of yours.

Vincent Cannistraro, a former CIA chief of counter-terrrorism, says the Bush administration is putting fierce pressure on the CIA to produce evidence about the Iraq al-Qaeda link that it doesn't have.

why ppl always get sonned and still wont learn from it is beyond me.

to me moore was the winner, but I dont give him credits, since Imo every dude with a least one pound of a brain can bash a dude that is supporting the actions of the bush administration. it doesnt take too much, it's fuckin clear and obvious and even most of the supportes know it, Im sure.

I thought Moore won, because the only argument O'Reilly had was the one about "he didn't lie".

He kept using the investigation reports as evidence but - the Russian one isn't worth talking about - they are shady. 
The British reports were laughed at in this country because they were percieved at reports that were just trying to protect the establishment.

Bush lied about the Al Quaida connection - he deliberately tried to influence the public to think Saddam was involved in 9/11 and somehow - it worked because at one time a majority of Americans believed he was involved.  The British plagiarised a 13 year old PHD essay and used that as their main evidence. 

There is no direct moment when you can say "thats a lie".  But Bush and Blair both knew the evidence was very, very shaky.  Yet they still talked as if there was no doubt the weapons existed.

There is no doubt they mislead the public.


On a side note I was really impressed by Moore, I didn't think he would be any good but he mutilated O'Reilly.  I loved it when O'Reilly wouldn't answer about sending kids to secure Fallujah and only said he would go himself and Moore was like "Quick when can we get him there!"

Moore wins.

Im sick of people telling me that this whole situation was not Bush' fault. Wake up and smell the coffins.

The day after september 11th, Bush told his administration (dont know exactly who) to draw up war plans on Iraq. They later gave him the "faulty information" of iraqs WMD. He quickly went to the UN. They said give us more time. Bush said we are going to do this now. And he did it without any help.

Now even if he got faulty information. That is not the way to handle this type of situation. Thats how you loose close allies. I dont care what the Cia told bush. HE is the president, and when your administration fucks up. You must take the responsibility. The late ronald reagan's administration messed up, and he said that even though this was not my fault i still accept the blame because i am the president.

Its known fact that Bush asked the CIA to "find something on iraq," and so they did.

Mach u further prove ur 14 yr old hard headed ignorance. WAKE UP america is not all that. Of course it was from canada, and middle east and africa and south america...you know why? Media in america is made for one thing, to make president look good and scare you. Ur argument was lost to Maradona cause u already stated they ignored CIA's warning, but u were stating that no one informed Bush but maradona clearly let u kno that some had informed him. so really you got owned. next thing....I already can tell u been growing up with the fact that USA is this great honest country that would never do wrong and the middle east is the devil. so apperently nothing could change ur opinion, cuz any facts thrown at you, you just say its a lie or opinion cause it wasnt in the American Media.....thats a damn shame.

LMFAO. You honestly are the dumbest person here; yes you may even be dumber than rampant. :o

Do you really expect the U.S. government to come out and say "Yes, we couldn't find any ties between the two, so we had our members just make them up". Wake the fuck up idiot.

The Former CIA chief of counter-terrorism isn't good enough? What is? LOL, seriously, you are a moron.
 You think you know better than this guy? This was his fuckin job you dipshit. And you wonder why it's a former and not a current one, don't you think if someone currently working for the CIA said this, that his career would pretty much be over with, and he too would become a FORMER CIA employee?!

You're so dumb, I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth sonning you.

And now you read their minds right? You have no argument, but I can't blame you; you said you were a little kid with very little knowledge. I understand.

You really think that when a government employee retires, he makes up lies to make the government look bad? Especially since we're talking about the CIA here...

By the way, TENET has also made the same claims. I'm sure you heard about that

Yea, and Bush said it wasnt true. I trust Bush more then Tenet, dont you. I mean  Tenet was the reason we made a mistake about WMDs and it was his fault we didnt know about 9/11.

We will never know since we dont work with the government, but you have to trust the Honor System.

Actually, the CIA warned Bush on several occasions about a possible attack.
Even after everyone started admitting that WMDs in fact do not exist in Iraq, Bush and Cheney were still the only ones who wouldn't admit it. They kept insisting that WMDs did exist. Trust the honor system? You're an idiot. That line alone proves that you are in fact a complete fuckin moron.

How is that relevent to me saying...."He didnt lie, he was mis-imformed. Theres a difference."

Bush asked the team to do that because at the time he was unaware of who commited the attacks of 9/11, and wanted to know if Iraq did it.
Title: Re: Who won 2nite
Post by: BuddenzNasir on July 29, 2004, 09:46:50 AM
No you moron, theres a difference. he would have said "find out of Iraq or Osoma or any country or even people here had something to do with this" but he instead quickly said "find something on Iraq" cuz Rumsfield has always wanted this war, and for Bush's fathers sake he has wanted it to. now they can "find a reason" and have the whole nation support him cuz he had everyone believe they had WMD and they were part of 9/11 attacks, so of course everyone in america would be quick to say lets go to war.
