Now, there is credibility spelled with a k. I suppose if you like over-saturated colours, jarring noises and pathetically one-sided conversation, you will love Faux News.
From that same government website, you might notice that since 2000, it takes, on average, 170,000 _new_ jobs each month just to stay even. So, giving your misquotes the benefit of the doubt, that is 48 months (instead of 60), just to stay even, the Republic required some 8.2 million new jobs. During that time, by your own numbers, yobs went up (actually less than) 3 million, resulting in a net loss of almost six million jobs.
The above are Republican administration numbers.
and, can someone tell me how a buried fighter constitutes a WMD? Is this some wet dream from the ever constipated Faux news room? Yellow cake? You have no idea what you are talking about. "enriched" U? Wow, give an idiot like (Judith Miller - NYT - that liberal bastion) a few big words and even the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging droolers from the neo-entertainment channel, Fox News, get to try out their own pronounciations, just like any undocumented alien.
Well, I guess some group has to make certain the average US IQ does not exceed 100 and so it falls to the Dorito-eating 101st keyboarders, fighting the war over here so they don't have to fight over there.

dude, if I was on crack, I wouldnt be able to work in the airline field! you'd better put down that pipe. I didnt receive the news from any union bulletin board. It is a fact that no WMD was found. It is also a fact that since Bush has been in office, he ran the surplus in to the biggest deficit. 700UW has it right in his post.There have been stories it's just the liberal media chooses not to print and air them. It would defeat their agenda and make it easier for simple minded people like you to understand the truth but then again I doubt you'd even understand it if they did report it.
The reason the deficit was eliminated was due to in large part to economic growth provided by congress....not the President.
The President submits a budget to Congress and then they go and add all their pork for their districts. You really don't understand the process do you? So sad.... <_<
Aramark can't provide the type of logistical support needed in a war zone....try again.
You really have no clue do you?? Now where is that scanarvous pin for the bin stretcher??
Dude...put down the crack pipe! You gotta stop getting your news for the union bulletin board. Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections....you gotta be on crack!!! 😀🙄
The Sound of Silence: Iraq's WMDs Found
May 28, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Joe Mariani
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After spending more than a year attacking the Bush administration daily for their supposed failure to produce the WMDs that everyone -- including the United Nations, as well as most leading Democrats -- believed Saddam had hidden, the Left has suddenly gone strangely silent on the subject. The "mainstream" media has been tiptoeing around the discovery of a 155-mm mortar shell containing Sarin gas in Iraq, the contents of which have been confirmed. The shell was used as part of an improvised explosive device (IED) on a road near the Baghdad International Airport, and exploded as it was being disarmed.
The shell contained three liters of Sarin -- nearly a gallon. It was a type of shell designed to mix chemical components during flight, which was why the explosion didn't kill anyone (though two soldiers were treated for exposure). Three liters of Sarin is enough, if the components are mixed properly, to realistically kill hundreds, and potentially thousands. A concentration of 100 milligrams of Sarin per cubic meter of air is enough to constitute a lethal dose for half the people breathing it within one minute.
This type of chemical warfare shell had never been declared by Iraq -- it was not even known that Iraq had ever made them. The 1999 UNSCOM report on Iraq reported that thirty binary/Sarin shells were known to exist, and stated that all had been accounted for. According to UNSCOM, "Iraq developed a crude type of binary munition, whereby the final mixing of the two precursors to the agent was done inside the munition just before delivery." Someone actually had to physically pour the components of the Sarin (or other type of G-series nerve agent) into the shells before they could be fired. At least, that's how the ones we knew about worked.
So, a previously-unknown type of artillery shell is found in Iraq, containing an actual, verifiable chemical weapon. This is front page news, right? Should we expect apologies from formerly doubting Liberals? Newspapers filled with retractions from prominent Democrats? Conciliatory visits to President Bush from Jaques Chirac and Gerhardt Schroeder? Not so fast. Remember: it's an election year. Liberals, Democrats, terrorists and appeasers all want President Bush to lose the election so everyone can get back to business as usual. Terrorists want to get back to their implacable war against Western civilisation, and the others want to get back to trying to placate them. The media, as long as we let them get away with it, will only run stories that attack President Bush and undermine support for him. In fact, Liberals already have their spin on this Sarin find ready to go. The vast majority of them -- when you can get them to admit that the Sarin and the shell are real -- argue that it doesn't matter for one of four "reasons."
A. The shell is old, from before the 1991 Gulf War, so it's not what we were looking for.
Since the cease-fire that suspended the Gulf War depended on Saddam's handing over to the UN "[a]ll chemical and biological weapons and all stocks of agents and all related subsystems and components and all research, development, support and manufacturing facilities", this shell is precisely what we were looking for, especially if it predates 1991. This shell and others like it is why the UN passed 17 resolutions demanding that Saddam disarm. No matter how old it was, it was still lethal. There is no statute of limitations on weapons of mass destruction.
B. There is only one shell, not a stockpile, so it doesn't mean anything.
This one shell contained enough WMD material to potentially kill as many people as died on 9/11, all by itself. Is it logical to assume that this is the only one in existence -- or just wishful thinking? The fact is that we still don't know how much Sarin Iraq actually produced. "At first, Iraq told UNSCOM that it had produced an estimated 250 tons of tabun and 812 tons of sarin. In 1995, Iraq changed its estimates and reported it had produced only 210 tons of tabun and 790 tons of sarin." (Yes, that's tons.) At the very least, it tells us that we haven't nearly finished looking for the WMDs that Saddam was supposed to surrender, and didn't. Besides... a shell containing mustard gas was also found. Well, maybe there were only two WMD shells in all of Iraq.
C. Just because Saddam had WMDs after all, it doesn't mean Bush didn't lie about them.
As ridiculous as it sounds, this appears to be the instinctive, defensive reaction of many Liberals to this news. They so badly need to believe that President Bush lied in order to legitimise their hatred of him that they're capable of this sort of twisted reasoning. The rationale seems to be that WMDs don't count if they aren't exactly where the CIA told us they were, as if they couldn't be moved.
D. The terrorists didn't even know it was a chemical shell.
Well, they do now. And they know where they found it, too.
We need to redouble our efforts to stop the terrorists and find Saddam's WMDs, before they're used to derail the new Iraqi government's formation. The media's refusal to give this news the coverage it deserves can only be due to a calculated attempt to reduce American support for our efforts in Iraq, including that of tracking down Saddam's banned weapons. The Left's deliberate silence on this subject for the purpose of influencing our election only helps our enemies. 😉

It's a fact huh? You wouldn't know a fact if it grew on the end of your nose and it's well documented from your posts that you're one of 700's groupies. It's scary that people like you vote and breed. God help us!!
Take another hit from the crack pipe....even the union bulletin board might make some sense then.
Why didn't you address the other 8 or so references I cited then? Is the story getting through to you yet? THERE WERE WMDs FOUND! Do we all really think that Saddam just sat there complacent for the 12 years between wars? Why else was he thwarting every effort of the UN inspectors, turning them away, giving them false information, etc.? Do you think, left untouched, he would never have been a problem to us? Perhaps that's what Clinton thought that about Osama and we got our clocks cleaned as a result. The circumstances made it apparent that he was hiding something. Now there's proof and the lefties still don't want to believe it becasue it doesn't fit with the agenda.
As for the jobs and employment, you can't with certainty attribute this to Bush, or the administration. We were amidst an economic downturn in 2000 when he was elected. That continued and was accelerated after 9/11. The recovery has been impressive, however, and more jobs are being created again. By the time the next election rolls around in 2 years, given our current path, we'll be better off than we were in 2001.
You are even more insane than I thought. Leftist leaning media???? Let me see who got the worst rap, Clinton for getting a BJ or Wacko Bush for lying about WMD's? All the above listed news organizations are bankrolled with wacko right wing $
I think you are the one with the crack problem. Please walk away from FOX news for 1 day and get a sense of reality. Let me see as I see it The Republicans control the Presidential office, Both Senate and the House, the majority of Governors in the country, the judicial branch, so please don't tell me wacko bush just passes it along to congress. He has never vetoed a spending bill.There have been stories it's just the liberal media chooses not to print and air them. It would defeat their agenda and make it easier for simple minded people like you to understand the truth but then again I doubt you'd even understand it if they did report it.

Over 300 Billion spent in Iraq, hey I have an idea. Go ahead and send a couple of more thousand dollars in on your taxes this year and help pay for it
Come on you are a patriot and one of 30% in this country that thinks Bush is great, go ahead send it in. Oh yeah and volunteer to go to Iraq while you are at it, come on you are a great patriot aren't you? Where is Osama?????
Actually genius, he didn't turn the inspectors away. They were there for over 3 months and couldn't find a thing. Remember Hans Blix? Who came out and stated "they aren't any WMD's"? As I read your statement it is like listening to FOX news, you have a very selective memory my friend.
As if it is not freaky enough a Union Brother from Pit out of all places believes this crap, yes Dell you, then you have to think that other people actually and believes this cr--.
You know dam well if this junk is true Slimeball Rove, Buck shot Cheney, Brain Dead Rumsfield (where are those guys?) would be all over the media with it!!!!!
Saddam turned away many inspectors many times throughout the 90's.
See these various reports from 1992, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2002 (not in that order)

Hans Blix said there are no WMDs when the UN decided they were done looking after just 3 months. Yeah, as if that's enough time to canvas the country.
We now know from physical evidence that there are/were WMDs. We also know from former people in his regime that they exist(ed). All this is documented and reported on. What more do you need? Or is that just what you want to believe to further your hatred for Bush?

dude, 700UW and I dont agree a lot but I will tell you once more, read it carefully, IF I WAS ON CRACK, I would NOT be ABLE to WORK in the AIRLINE FIELD. As far as this goes, the republican leadership (if you can even call it that) has failed this country miserably. I vote and I vote for one party only, that is democrat. And like I told you once before, I DO NOT READ ANYTHING FROM UNION BULLETIN BOARDS. GET that
Hey ol' Brownie....here's the deal. You, 700 and Robbed need to get away from the crack house and educate yourselves on reality instead of your VERSION of reality.
It's been proven with numerous polls of journalists that more than 70% of them are liberal and vote with the left leaning wackos like yourself. Your sense of warped reality has you actually believing the media is owned by republicans. The truth is you're right but for a much different way. They are PUBLICALLY traded companies. You understand what that means or do I need to explain that to you? I better explain it.
It means they are owned by A LOT of people. They are ALL different people. Some are white, some are black and yes Brownie they are democrat and republican. Just because they are publically traded doesn't mean they are owned by only republicans. See, there is a thing called the HMFIC and all of the outlets I listed are headed up by leftist leaning, card carrying socialists like yourself. Yes Brownie...they are liberal democrats!! Go do some research and edumacate yerself.
I do pay my taxes every year and on time and when I pay them I include more than I should because of the left leaning socialist liberal democrats like you and Teddy Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Harry Reid. You know...the ones that never saw a spending bill they didn't love to let lazy people sit home while the rest work to pay for them and their kids?
I am a patriot and proud of it. I fought for this country and spilled my blood in its defense and in defense of you. I've stood the line have you? If so then welcome to the club and thanks. If not go sign up and see if some of that yellow that covers your belly will come off.
You're so warped you really make this too easy...

Are you a crack addict?
Sorry I don't do drugs, maybe you do, and your lame attempt at insults makes your whole misfactual posts worth nothing.
There were no WMDs found, Clinton's Economic policies balanced the budget and Bush ran up record deficits.
You are a typical right winger, when you can't win the debate you fall back on the tried and true Karl Rove Lesson 101, insult and defame your opponent.
