I go back to the argument that show me absolute proof where WMDs were not in Iraq. I agree that there is speculation as to what happened to the weapons but the general fact is we still don't know either way for sure. Personally, I feel that they lie in Syria and no, I don't have a personal satellite pointed at the location.
Anybody remember the bombing runs of the Clinton era on Serbia? We had trouble taking out targets in an area the size of Ohio. Now we have Iraq and we can have faulty intelligence (and by we it's not just America) that creates false WMDs but we cannot have the same faulty intelligence fail to locate WMDs. Obviously, these weapons wouldn't have been stored and created in the open. Operations would have been conducted under various covers and our intelligence isn't what we thought it was clearly. Do the math.
This is, of course, putting aside the oil-for-food connections that I think make both Russia and France very suspect in any dealings with Iraq.
Kerry would have said, "I'm going to do something," and then two minutes later... "I'm not going to do anything"
The Kerry Response: I have a plan for the situation in the Gulf Coast.
The Gore Response: We're sending supplies down and since I created both the red cross and salvation army then things should go well.

May I note that these sources are every bit as "reputable" as many of the Moore films.
87% of the poor people left were black, that is why so many black people remained in New Orleans. And you saying that the mothers were unfit to look after their own children is disgusting, perhaps you should really think about what you said.
Given your location across the pond, I'll give you a little room. I can understand his comments in this matter because when you start looking at how many kids these people have the story changes a bit. There are certainly exceptions as there always are but when you have 3+ kids that you know you cannot support there is a problem. Even a wild animal knows by instinct the number of babies it can support. This applies to white, black, pink, gold and so on. I don't play the race card.
Even with that, I want someone to explain to me why the mayor didn't get off his *** and use the buses he had to get those people out. It's a known fact that NO has a large percent of the population under the poverty level and this should have been planned for. That's what I find so hypocritical about his rants against Bush. He failed as much as anyone else. Why didn't he delcare a mandatory evac when the governor of the state declared a state emergency? Why did he wait almost 2 days??
