Dems Put Species Ahead of National Security
Democrat Senators voted to limit military traing to protect "endangered animals and plants." The Democrats, who have on a 18% approval rating on national security issues put critters ahead of training the military. Fortunately the House wants to lift the restrictions so the matter will go to a conference committee.
More From the Byrd Brain
Former Kleagal Sen. Robert Byrd accused the President of lying to get the US into a war in Iraq.
"When it comes to shedding American blood, when it comes to wreaking havoc on civilians, on innocent men, women and children, callous dissembling is not acceptable," Mr. Byrd said. "Nothing is worth that kind of lie — not oil, not revenge, not re-election, not somebody's grand pipe dream of a democratic domino theory."
Most people should know that a lie is saying something a person knows is untrue. If Byrd is talking about the difficulty in finding Saddam's WMD, even if they are never found, that does not prove that the President knew Saddam did not have WMD and said he did anyway. If it did happen that the WMD were never found all it would prove is that the intelligence that Bush relied on was inaccurate even though the President and the intelligence services of all the countries on the security counsel believed it to be true. If you say something you believe to be true, you are not lying. It should be pointed out that the French and German intelligence service also believed Saddam had WMD.
