Comments on: AP peddling unvarnished partisan hit piece as "news" http://www.federalistjournal.com/fedblog/?p=2699 A weblog from the editors of American Federalist Journal Mon, 03 May 2010 08:51:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Abel PharmBoy http://www.federalistjournal.com/fedblog/?p=2699&cpage=2#comment-9765 Abel PharmBoy Sun, 02 Apr 2006 00:47:11 +0000 http://www.federalistjournal.com/fedblog/?p=2699#comment-9765 I regret that many commentors view Loven's piece as partisan. Instead, she pointed out how a politician has a track record of employing a common tactic used anyone unable to mount a substantive and fact-based debate to defend their position. Yes, this politican won the previous election, but tens of millions of people did not vote for him. We are a nation that was founded on the mutual respect for differences of opinion - to degenerate into partisan depiction of factual arguments based on skeptical principles is to turn one's back on the foundations of American freedom.

I was hoping to solve this problem diplomatically. That's why I went to the Security Council. That's why it was important to pass 1441, which was unanimously passed. And the world said, Disarm, disclose or face serious consequences. And therefore, we worked with the world. We worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world. And when he chose to deny the inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him. And we did. And the world is safer for it. QUESTION: Thank you, sir. Secretary Rumsfeld ... BUSH: You're welcome. I didn't really regret it. I kind of semi-regretted it. QUESTION: (inaudible) BUSH: That's right" Of course, everybody knows the inspectors were removed at the behest of the US. Maybe you morons can explain that away.

George Bush won the 2004 vote (one out of two -- not bad! a much better success rate than he had as a businessman), as The Editors so cunningly remind us in Post #77. I guess there's no answer to that! signing off. Hey, everybody, the discussion is over!
