Rumsfeld: "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that."

What did Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld say this in regard to?

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday he had no reason to believe that Iraq's Saddam Hussein had a hand in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. At a Pentagon news conference, Rumsfeld was asked about a poll that indicated nearly 70 percent of respondents believed the Iraqi leader probably was personally involved.

You might remember that back when the administration was whipping us up for war, they said they very much had reason to believe there was a connection, and said so often enough to make about 70% of Americans think Iraq was involved in 9/11.

And that they had chemical, biological, and maybe even nuclear weapons which they planned to use against us. Not a trace of which has been found. But our destabilization of Iraq certainly has drawn terrorists into the country now. And our destruction of Iraq's infrastructure has made sure its population will sympathize with them.

So I suppose the question is: what in hell did we go to war for? Why are US troops over there being murdered every day? Why are we even thinking about wasting another $87 billion we don't even have on this insane folly?

Is even Haliburton making money off this debacle?

Now comes the hangover, folks. You let him do this and he's sinking our country. Wise up about Bush before it's too late. He's not lehitimate and doesn't even act it. He is simply a moron who has hijacked our country.

But maybe the contentions going about regarding the Ninth Circuit Court and the delay (or not) of the ridiculous California recall election might settle that. You see, it might go to the Supreme Court. Which means that the Supreme Court is about to have Bush Vs. Gore thrown back in its face. If the justices this time deny a delay because it's being requested by liberals, they reveal how partisan they are. If they do not, then explain to me what this does to the legitimacy of Bush's presidency?

What goes around comes around, and everything eventually balances out.
