This is just a chance for everyone to try to get acknowledgement for 'being right'.

My entry:

There were no WMDs.

I told you there was going to be a civil war the minute we "won."

I told you democracy wouldn't spread like wildfire in the middle-east.

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

Bush (singing):
Well I know, I know the answers,
And you think you also do.
Why I say one plus one is eleven,
You think one plus one is two.
Well I've got some information,
And I just love that this is true -
I've got all the right answers,
And you haven't got a clue.

I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I sing it once again.

You got all the wrong directions.
You don't know where you're going to.
You head South for Iraq?
Have you perchance got a map?
Well, I got something to tell you -
There's a fact that you misconstrue,
I say WMD's in Iraq,
You think they live in the silo.

I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Naaaa

Hold everything, there's a news flash from the CIA,
Why a correction is coming through -
It's some brand new information,
It seems like one and one is two !
You head South for Iraq.
And there's something else that's true -
I was wrong about the weapons too,
Iraq has no WMD.

So I got a small revision,
To the things that I've just said -
Well it seems the yarns I've been spinning,
Are kinda hanging by a thread.
I was wrong and you were right,
And now my face ain't nothing but red.
There's some words that you get to sing now,
And I hope they don't go to your head.

RUE (Singing):
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
I'm going to sing the I was right song.
I was right and you were wrong,
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Naaaa

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

Except the huge stockpile of chemical weapons they found but didn't tell us about...seems I might have mentioned that possibility some time ago or in layman's terms...I told you so.

Although some people have wondered why they never told us about them. Perhaps they were allowing the Wrongocrats to dig themselves into a really deep hole. I mentioned early on that it was notable that while many Cowardacrats like Kerry were shouting no WMD's from the rooftops, none of the Democrats on the House or Senate Intellegence Committees were joining that parade. I told you so.

And then there is today's shocking revelation that the US is monitoring global financial transactions. Seems someone, the President I believe, told us about that back in 2002. Duh, global war on terror but we can't listen in on the enemy, or track their money, or interrogate prisoners, or wage military operations of any kind, or do anything that might make the country safe from attack, or take any preemptive step towards preventing attacks...thats the Democrat's war plan: bend over, take it up the A** and blame Republicans for making it worse by fighting back...in other words Democrats, the Prison Bitch Party. Told you that too.

Personal Note: The funeral was very sad, and quite moving. He was a cop and a soldier, so the cerimony was the best of both with the local vets and even the firemen coming out. I teared up but didn't cry till one of our senior patrolmen ended by signing him off shift...forever. Then we went drinking which is always nice.

Thought the President might want a crack at this topic:

Quote:

But some governments will be timid in the face of terror. And make no mistake about it: If they do not act, America will. (Applause.)

North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens.

Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.

In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.

We will develop and deploy effective missile defenses to protect America and our allies from sudden attack. (Applause.) And all nations should know: America will do what is necessary to ensure our nation's security.

Our war on terror is well begun, but it is only begun. This campaign may not be finished on our watch -- yet it must be and it will be waged on our watch.

We have no intention of imposing our culture. But America will always stand firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity: the rule of law; limits on the power of the state; respect for women; private property; free speech; equal justice; and religious tolerance. (Applause.)

And for the NY Times and their banking surveilance from the 2001 Address to Congress after 9/11:

Quote:

It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding...

Can't starve them of funding if you don't monitor their accounts and the accounts channeling them funds. And covert operations secret even in success may not be as successfull if they are not secret.

Excuse me? Where are these magic weapons at? Do you have any evidence that they've found weapons they aren't telling us about yet? And if there were, you'd think they'd shout it from the rooftops to prove they were right.

And if you mean the ones that were "just revealed" by - who was it, Santorum?- yesterday, the DDept. came right out behind him and said they weaps they found were pre-1991 shells that were so degraded they were inoperable.

For the record, Hero, you only get to say "I told you so" if you are actually right. You aren't.

I can think of many reasons to keep it a secret. Reason 1, it wasn't a secret. The media reported these finds years ago during and after the invasion. The reports were limited and only mentioned a few shells, no follow up stories because the Pentagon clamped down on the info. Reason 2, lets say they found 500 shells but Joe Iraqi sitting in Syria says... 'hey, we had 1,237 shells in 5 different locations and I know where location number 4 is and I wonder if I can make some money by telling that bearded guy over there who's recruiting Syrians to go Jihad'in in Iraq next weekend.' The reasons go on from there becoming more and more obvious. My favorite is political. 'Oops, turns out the lynchpin of Democratic anti-war sentiment for the last 3 and a half years aint so...poor Demorcrats, so wrong on so many things guess ya'll are gonna all vote Republican this November...again.'

Tell you what. Lets put you and your family in a room with a pre-1991 Soviet-made 155mm artillery shell filled with Sarin gas. Now would you be willing to take a hammer and hit the shell on the nose ala Bugs Bunny, I think not.

I suspect that while age likely renders many of the shells inoperable...as artillery shells fired from a howitzer and such, it hardly renders them inert. And maybe gas is less effective, so instead of killing everyone within 500 meters in 15 seconds it only kills everyone within 50 meters and it takes a full minute for them to die.

I told you so. Sayin otherwise don't make it less true.

So let me get this straight - The government is keeping massive findings of WMD's a secret so that it can continue to look ridiculous to the American people about its reasons for war (and select people, like you -and probably PN- can go ahead and argue using "evidence" that is invisible....oooooookay). To top that all off, the Republican shills (such as yourself), are now parsing "WMD's" that were supposed to be large amounts of chemical weapons, mobile factories, and possible nuclear devices (because, as Condi said, we wouldn't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud) off as a major find if two spoonfuls of Sarin in a rusty shell are dug up out of the sand.

I may not want my family in that room, but seeing as I had family that served in Iraq, I certainly didnt want them out in the desert chasing little pink elephant wmd's that were no threat to us either.

Let's do Hero math.
2500 dead, tens of thousands wounded, civil war in Iraq, Iraqi civilians killed by the thousands, record deficit, no Bin Ladin, Afghanistan in chaos, and deteriorating foreign relations is justified by finding unusable gas made 20 years ago in corroded shells buried in dirt.

There you have it folks, today's GOP.
