      What?

      Hold on, first of all, compelling would mean, well, that the evidence were compelling. Circumstantial would mean that the evidence was not compelling.

      Thing is, the guys who committed the attack in 1993 are either dead, or in jail. Case closed.

            What lunacy is that? I was simply pointing out that magnolialover did not seem to know what circumstancial evidence means and quoting the dictionary. I made no editorial comment what so ever.

              That's the one you are consistent with in every post.  Your areas of "expertise" are Clinton, MSNBC, Olbermann, and playing the victim.

          I'm pretty sure that most people would not consider circumstantial evidence compelling. As in, if you only have circumstantial evidence, most times, you're not going to compel a judge to give you a search warrant.

            Totally wrong, in fact circumstantial evidence is even used to convict in criminal courts.

              But the real question is, what circumstantial evidence does this guy have to make such claims on national television?  There is circumstantial evidence that G-Dub helped bring down the Trade Center - he didn't and it's ridiculous - that's why we don't have Chris Matthews still giving idiots like that air time to spread this craziness.

              However, I will give you credit for at least acknowleding that he is making this stuff up.  Thank you.  It's good to know there are limits to your agreements with the far right.

      Oklahoma City? Are you kidding me?

      You see, the problem with these guys being in charge in our country is that they are so blinded by their ideology and fears that they could not see that Saddam Hussein was BLUFFING the whole dang time!

          Ok ... Dear, Kurds ... Was Saddam Hussein bluffing about attacking the U.S. and having nuclear weapons?

          Answer: YES!

          That was easy, thanks Fairliberal, you're a pal!

            A little lesson in weapons of mass destruction, they include biological and chemical weapons. Now ask the Kurds, since you are now a little more informed. And you can also ask the Clintons and most of the democrats from that time period.

              Saddam never attacked us.  Ever. Fact.  Saddam was not a threat to the US.  Ever.  Fact .  Everything else you and your unhinged party desperately rant about is a distraction and a weak attempt to justify dubyah's failed policies.  Fact.

                The Iraq Resolution or the Iraq War Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,[1]) is a joint resolution (i.e., a law) passed by the United States Congress in October 2002 as Public Law No: 107-243, authorizing the Iraq War. Is this what you wanted?

                  See, there was NO manipulation or cherry-picking of the intelligence by the Bush administration! See? There was NO retribution to anyone working in the CIA who tried to prove otherwise!

                      You seem to be doing an awful crazy dance to avoid the obvious "fair" liberal.  What do the Kurds have to do with Oklahoma City?  Do you actually believe what this nutcase is spouting on television? 

                      I am always fascinated at just how far the true believers will go.  Where's liebuster on this one?  Love to hear him support these kinds of beliefs.

                        Actually I have no idea where he comes off with the Oklahoma City comment, that's a new one for me. I was pointing out to MK that Saddam did definately have weapons of mass destruction at one time, in fact he used them. That was my reference to the Kurds, but I do wonder if Mk even knows who the Kurds are.

                          And to give MK credit, Saddam WAS bluffing towards the end about having the weapons, but there is no denying he once had them.

                            After the Gulf War, there never was a reconstitution of any WMD and nothing even remotely close to a nuke. UN inspectors hounded Saddam enough that he was fully contained.

                            And the war with the Kurds where you are referring to the use of chemical weapons, that happened even before the 1st gulf war. There just were no longer any weapons of mass destruction from Saddam after the war.

                            You do not need to believe me on that. The fact that none were found after the US toppled Saddam speaks for itself. He was bluffing.
