No, I'm talking about the *non-existent" yellow cake from Niger. The 500
tons you are referring to, predates the 1991 Gulf War. You do, of
course, remember the 1981 Israel bombing of the Tuwaitha nuclear
facility, back when Saddam *did* have a nuclear program. That is the
yellow cake you are referring to and it had been cataloged and under
control of UN inspectors since shortly after the 1991 Gulf War.

But keep trying, sometime, somewhere, you may find a small bit of truth
in Bush's buildup for war. Then weigh the cost, 500 tons of yellow cake,
4000 young American lives, 500 tons of yellow cake, $500 billion. Of
course, $500 billion isn't worth what it was before the present
administration.

On the world news last night they had a piece about Iraq not spending
their surpluses on rebuilding. Largely because their thought is that
the U.S. blew it up, the U.S. should fix it:

Here's what is happening:

The book gets headlines and heavy media exposure, less than 3 months from
election day.
The primary sources of the information contained in the book have denied the
Suskind's claims.
Suskind offers his personal "opinion" that they did so because they are
afraid of having to testify.
The "truth", whatever it is, will come out ...... after the election.
Meanwhile, the damage has been done. The yet unsubstantiated claims have
stuck in many people's minds.

That pretty much sums it up. When that fellow - I think his name was
Epstein - wrote the first Kennedy assassination book, many people of
conspiratorial bent took it for gospel because, after all, somebody
wrote a book, so it must be right.
In that case an industry was created. That won't happen here.
Then, to further what SW said, all kinds of "dots" started appearing.
Didn't matter that some of the dots were imaginary, and others had
nothing to do with the assassination. They could be connected into a
picture that satisfied the paranoia of the viewer.
Oh, BTW, if you question their picture, you are put by them into one
of two categories:
1. Your are too stupid to see the obvious picture drawn by the dots.
2. You are part of the conspiracy, thus another dot.

I think that is what we have *spent* short term. Adding in the long

That's a meaningless number. Of course if you'll talking about Social

number to show that SS will be broke in 2098, can't be fixed, and
should be handed over to Wall Street right now to manage.

Harry, I thought you just came here to watch rec.boats go down the

Be glad you weren't gone six days. Over 1600 posts to wade through. Lots of

"listen now"
Thanks. I listened to the whole interview. The truth remains
invisible,
since his primary sources are currently denying the story, but he
makes a
compelling case.

For some reason this whole affair reminds me of the still
circulating
theories that FDR "knew" of the impending Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor
but did nothing because he needed a reason to convince the
American public
that going to war was necessary.
BTW, for those interested in the concept of history repeating
itself,
here's a link to a FDR conspiracy story that offers "proof".
What these guys don't understand is that they are as bad as Larry.

Somebody writes a book, nobody reads it, but for some reason it's
cited as "proof" of this, that or the other thing.

Humans love conspiracy's. Its' just like the whole "Dick Cheney" is
an evil Oil Man - Obama tried to link everything to Dick Cheney and
his oil friends. It's all a huge conspiracy.

If Dick Cheney's energy plan is such an inherent evil, then why did
Obama vote for it? (McCain didn't by the way).

It's all bull****. Nobody knows for sure - it's all guess work.
Ahhh...the great Faux News Equalizer. :)
No offense Harry, but you are Larry's opposite.

Two dies of the same coin.

Your just not as weird.
Sure, Tom, and that's just because I believe the Bush Admin lied us
into
a war with Iraq.

You believe what you want to believe.

That's the point. Truthers are Truthers - little or no evidence, lots
of dots.

In mathematics, there is a concept called convergence which describes
limiting behaviour, particularly of an infinite sequence or series,
toward some limit.

Put another way, convergence claims the existence of a limit which may
be unknown.

Put another way all dots can eventually be connected in some way no
matter how remote and/or disconnected from the orignal limit if one
continually connects them in unique unlimited ways not related to the
orignal limiting design.

Which is how you get Rockefeller, Tri-Lateral Commissions, Illumaniti,
Freemasonry, Dick Cheney, WMDs in Iraq and 9/11 Trutherism.

In short, you are Larry - a dot connector.

Just a different kind of dot connector. :)

Sure, Tom. Right. Of course.

Thus proving that you didn't read a single thing I said.

He read it. Did not comprehend it.
