please, don't misunderstand the Patriot Act.

The Patriot Act just adds terrorists to the list. They could already do what the Patriot Act lets them do with suspected terrorists, with drug lords and the mafia. If you have a problem with civil liberties being taken away by the Patriot Act, you'll have to do some searching on the internet and dig up whatever acts let the government do that with mafia and drug rings, and complain about those things, too.

Secondly, Fahrenhype 911 (see link below) rightly pointed out that the Al Quaeda dude who was going to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge wouldn't have been caught if not for the Patriot Act.

Thirdly,

three bullet points from cia.gov

*Saddam had no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction produced after 1991.

*Saddam had aggressive plans for rebuilding his weapons of mass destruction stockpiles, and retained some capability of production, some laboratories, etc.

*Saddam's strategery was to manipulate the Oil-for-Food program towards rebuilding his WMD stockpiles . . . and also to influence UN Security Council Members (France, Russia, China) with oil.

*Note: an implication of this information is that the real thing that was about oil was notthe war, but the French/Russian/Chinan opposition to the war. As far as I can tell, this is not a known fact but only an implication. The Duelfer Report says that this sort of thing was Saddam's goal. I doubt that anyone's mentioned whether his goal was successful. But all you people that are so quick to point out the likelihood that America's motivations were tainted (and I have no reason to think they weren't), do you really think that France's motivations were pure? --Boone
FAHRENHEIT 9/11.

Lovely artwork. Thesis was basically that since it wasn't about WMD, it had to be about Bush's business connections. It's always good to ask what motives are tainting our leaders' decisions. However, remember to check out the points about the WMD linked to here, the fact that it was also about enforcing UN resolutions like 1441 that promised things like "serious consequences, and the links between Iraq and Al-Quaeda (see the 9-11 commission's report on that). Altogether an extremely complicated situation.

Michael Moore Hates America.

One of four Michael Moore rebuttal films I know of.

Celcius 41.11.

Another Michael Moore rebuttal film. The temperature is that at which the brain begins to die. ON AT THE ANGELIKA ON MOCKINGBIRD IN DALLAS!!!!

WMD: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein.

Yet another Michael Moore rebuttal movie, containing never-before-seen footage about how evil Saddam was. The trailer was moving because it's all true.

Fahrenhype 911.

Another Michael Moore rebuttal film, available at Hollywood Video and/or Blockbuster. The only one of the rebuttals I've (Boone's) actually seen so far. The artwork doesn't hold a candle to Michael Moore's, but on the other hand did you know that we were able to catch the Al Quaeda guy that was going to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, all because of the Patriot Act?

In the Face of Evil.

Reagan/Bush '04. (Not a Michael Moore rebuttal movie).

The Economic Policies of the Two Parties Explained in Brief.

Sorry, Democrats, but John Edwards really screwed it up for you. This is Boone with what may very well be the only internet report in the world to announce which presidential candidates have better grammar. I missed some of last night's debated, but my current count has the Democrats losing fifteen to ten grammatical errors.

It's all Edwards' fault. In his debate with Cheney on Tuesday evening, Cheney had three dangling prepositions, but Edwards had FIVE DANGLING PREPOSITIONS IN ONE SITTING plus THREE bad pronouns. Also, his articulation of the English language was pathetic. In general, Bush and Kerry, from what I've noticed, are basically tied for grammatical errors (seven each that I've noticed). Cheney's the smartest of the four, and John Edwards is the absolute dumbest. Of course, anyone who actually votes on grammar seriously needs to choose a position on pro-life or the economy or something.
