If I am working to rebuild a replica of the taj mahal made entirely of butterscotch candy... does that mean I have completed it? does it even mean I have, at this point, even one single piece of butterscotch candy in hand, or is my work, to this point been entirely in working with candy makers to line up a future supply?
If I am working to increase my capacity to be able to fly by merely flapping my arms, can I fly?
the english language, in the hands of artists, is a wonderful thing... George Bush was a house painter by comparison.
Truth deflector proves my point. To ESL students, the difference between THERE IS NO DOUBT and I HAVE NO DOUBT is way too subtle for dullards like him to grasp.
why am I not surprised?
If I say 'I am working to INCREASE my capacity to conduct chemical warfare' that means I ALREADY have some capacity to do so.
and...the difference between a lie and a mistake is easy. A mistake is when you say something that you think is true, and it turns out to be false. A lie is when you say something you KNOW to be false at the time you say it. Bush was well aware of the sketchy nature of some of the WMD in tell. He was well aware that analysts doubted Curveball and that many of the bits of data were old and possibly obsolete. He KNEW of the existence of doubts surrounding Saddam's stockpiles of WMD's even as he told us that THERE IS NO DOUBT. THAT's a lie. And all you can do is call ME names because you cannot refute that basic statement.
booooooring.
::yawn::
increase it from the point where all he had was old, degraded rusty cans of chemical weapons from the 1980's? if you want to call that "capacity" in any meaningful way... go for it. It certainly does not state with any degree of certainty that Saddam had acquired stockpiles of non-obsolete, functional chemical weapons.
The Senators had the same information about the WMD that Bush did and they voted overwhelmingly for the War, especially The Hillary. Again you Libs try to skewer the truth in order to promote your agenda. Obama lied to US about Obamacare, he even apologized to US, so now I coined it ObamDon'tCare. Now the Libs are trying to call it the Affordable Care Act, just another lie, everyone that I know has had their Health Insurance premiums go way up. This is just another attempt to take from the haves and give to the have nots. I am not against helping out all poor people, but do not try to pull the wool over our eyes, by lying to US. "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach that man how to fish and feed him for a lifetime". You libs think that you have all the answers, with your so-called bleeding heart BS, that is until this commie sheet affects you personally, "Do as I say, not as I do".and...the difference between a lie and a mistake is easy.

Wrong again dimwit; Bush believed the same evidence foreign leaders believed, the previous administration believed and Democratic Party leaders believed as posted originally.
The Senators had the same information about the WMD that Bush did and they voted overwhelmingly for the War.
No one is questioning what he BELIEVED. If he had stated that it was his belief that Saddam had WMD's, who could question what he believed. He did not say that. He made a declarative statement of fact, which he knew to be false. He may have believed that Saddam had WMD's but he also knew that others within his administration were not entirely sure... others questioned the veracity of some of the intelligence, the interpretation of some intelligence, and the age of some of the intelligence. He KNEW that. He KNEW there were varying degrees of doubt yet LIED to us when he said THERE IS NO DOUBT. It was a lie because there WAS doubt, and Bush knew of it and told us otherwise. A lie.
If you think that THERE IS NO DOUBT and I HAVE NO DOUBT are synonymous, then you must think that when you say, THERE IS A STUPID BRAIN DEAD CARROT and I AM A STUPID BRAIN DEAD CARROT, they are also synonymous.

Remember, Jerry - it's not a lie, if YOU believe it...
so that, somehow, makes it NOT a lie when Bush told us there was no doubt that Saddam had stockpiles of WMD's even though he knew of doubts within his own administration? really?
explain
When you or your pastor or priest declare "there is definitely a God" or "No doubt, there is a God"........even though you both KNOW that others have doubts and others
deny his existence completely, .... are you lying ?
If you declare, "There is no doubt, I love my wife"....even though you KNOW shes has reservations and doubts about your love....are you lying ?
Better yet.....If I say, "There is no doubt that Bush and the Democrats were telling the truth", even though I KNOW maineman has "doubts", to put mildly, am I lying ?
