Moron IC and AA,
  I caught part of the show Saturday AM, and tried to call in but I
missed out. And I needed to correct some of AA's lies, and half
truths, and ommisions;
And so you know, I only heard 10 minutes of the show.
1- The Proof ? of WMD in Iraq. What? Quick tell Hans Blix, George Dubya, and Karl Rove. If any
were found, Rove would be on every commercial crowing about it, with Bush sitting on his lap. According to the US military's own official report on WMD in Iraq that was completed and made public after the US forces had completely combed Iraq looking for any evidence of WMDs, none were found. No secret labs were found. And as far as precursor chemicals, the only things that were found were the same ones used in chemical fertilizers and other industrial uses. And they were found at industrial factories that make things like fertilizer, and
industrial chemicals (remember, Iraq's only 2 natural resources are petroleum and sand, and petroleum can be distilled into many useful but very toxic substances)

Also the Fox News BS, Saddam had 14 months to get the Wmd's outta Iraq BS? The WMD are
weapons. Saddam was facing the worlds 6'8'', 360 lb, undisputed heavyweight champ, and according to your logic and reason, Saddam decides to ship out the one weapon that could inflict any damage on our armed forces??? Please AA, explain why anyone, let alone a
bloodthirsty tyrant like Saddam Hussein would do that. Use small words, in English, why he would disarm himself to avoid proving to the UN Weapons inspectors that he was disarming and then not use those weapons after the war started against his enemies.

2- Congressman John Murtha - Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional ... he's not a Senator.
He's a Congressman, AA, from PA's 12th district. And his statements on Iraq, and the condition of the US armed forces comes from his 30 years of service, and his contacts in the military (and in case you haven't noticed, he's rigth and the President and Rumsnamarra are wrong). If Murtha's statements against Bush's lack of any plan of attack against the Iraqi Insurgency and Bush's unwillingness to draw some new plan up (beyond the present plan of
“having convoys drive around and getting American boys blown up”) disqualifies him to serve in as a elected publice official then try reading these, courtesy of DailyKos, and larbabe:

Republicans, Kosovo & Iraq, Then & Now

I find it astounding how key Republicans have done a dramatic
turn-around, from being anti-war doves when it pertained to Kosovo,
to pro-war hawks when it comes to Iraq. Let's set aside the
fact that the US participation in the Balkins was NATO sanctioned
and, unlike the war in Iraq, was not based upon lies and
deception by our leaders. Obviously, political expediency and war
profiteering have played a role in this drastic change of heart. Here
are some before's and after's from Bush and his GOP cronies:

President George W. Bush

Kosovo:
     Wikiquote, 4/9/99
"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for
the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 6/5/99
"I think it's also important for the president to
lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when
they will be withdrawn."
Iraq:
     White House Documents, 6/24/05

"It doesn't make any sense to have a timetable. You
know, if you give a timetable, you're -- you're conceding too much to
the enemy.”

GOP House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL)

Kosovo:
     Dallas Morning News,3/25/99

"Many may question the path that has taken us to
this point. I have my own questions about the long term strategy of
this campaign."
(Former) GOP House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX)

Kosovo:
     Congressional Record, 4/28/99
"Mr. Speaker, this is a very difficult speech for me
to give, because I normally, and I still do, support our military and
the fine work that they are doing. But I cannot support a failed
foreign policy. ... But before we get deeper embroiled into this
Balkan quagmire, I think that an assessment has to be made of the
Kosovo policy so far. President Clinton has never explained to the
American people why he was involving the U.S. military in a civil war
in a sovereign nation, other than to say it is for humanitarian
reasons, a new military/foreign policy precedent. ... Was it worth it
to stay in Vietnam to save face? What good has been accomplished so
far? Absolutely nothing
     Fox News Sunday, 3/14/99

"First of all, it's using NATO for the first time to
attack a sovereign nation. ... It's also one more adventure in a
whole line of adventures of failed foreign policy."
Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)

Kosovo:
     New York Times, 4/8/99

"We should not be in  Kosovo, as we should not
have been in Bosnia. Our concern is we should be able to defend
America in the event something happens where our strategic interests
are at stake, such as in Iraq or in North Korea. And this is just
depleting and diluting our resources."
     April 29, 1999
"I interviewed some of these refugees two days ago.
When I interviewed the refugees, I found some things to be
tremendously interesting. They all said the same thing: In fact, they
didn't have any problems until the bombing started."
      CNN's LATE EDITION with Wolf Blitzer (4/18/99
"[W]e are robbing assets from the Pacific theater
and from the Persian Gulf, so if something should happen in Iraq or
happen in North Korea, we would really have a serious problem. And I
can assure you they know what's going on....I did everything I could
to keep us from starting the air strikes, and getting involved in
this thing to begin with. Now that we are in, we've got to get
out....we don't have any national security, strategic interests
there. And we need to get out....

Senator Trent  Lott (R-Miss)
Kosovo:
 
"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the
beginning...I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic
area."
     Scotsman, 5/4/99
"My job as majority leader is be supportive of our
troops, try to have input as decisions are made and to look at those
decisions after they're made ... not to march in lock step with
everything the president decides to do."

"I think that, as Jesse Jackson would say, give
peace a chance here. There seems to be some momentum. There seems to
be an opportunity - we should seize this moment. As a matter of fact,
you know, I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning.
I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area.”

Now, these are only from George Dubya, the House and Senate Republican Leadership, and the most important Senate Republicans on the Armed Services Committee. I'm sure AA will begin to call for them to resign or work to have them removed from office at the ballot box, right???
