Aye,and bush not starting a war was about as likely as Viking Windeyman turning up at the next Red
Bull challenge, Clad in lycra shorts and saying "right chaps lets go carve up some single track."

Educated/honest people attribute their quotations (or say they don't know who said it).

I am one of the 150 million or so people in America that Bush has failed to brainwash. I don't
support war with Iraq mainly because I think it is more important to mend relations with the Arabs
than to slaughter them over a hunch. Anyway, I'm not gonna get into it right now, but I do feel like
bashing the French some. So here goes... These quotes were all taken from
twin-towers.netfrench military victories.htmOpen ↗ .

When they pulled out of NATO 40 years ago and declared Americans must close down their bases in
France, Secretary of State Dean Rusk had a bitterly caustic response: "Should we dig up the graves
of American soldiers in Normandy, too, and take them home?"

No French answer was recorded.

"Did you see the new bomb the government came up with? It weights 21,000 pounds. The Air Force
tested this bomb in Florida and the bomb blast was so strong at Disneyworld 25 French tourists
surrendered." -Jay Leno

Jay Leno says it's no surprise the French won't help us get Saddam Hussein out of Iraq. They didn't
help us get Germany out of France, either. Still, it's essential for them to join us in the war
against Iraq. They can teach the Iraqis how to surrender.

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --- General
George S. Patton

"The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag."
--David Letterman

I suppose one's cluelessness depends on which survey is used...
gallup.compr030317.aspOpen ↗

"If the United States decides not to offer any new resolutions on Iraq and goes forward with
military action without a new U.N. vote at all, half of Americans would oppose an invasion of Iraq,
while 47% would be in favor. "

...and I'm sure it won't be hard to find other made-up facts to dispute these! 😉

Not neccessary. Just look at the date of that poll.

"The poll was conducted March 14-15, prior to the meeting of U.S. President George Bush, British
Prime Minister Tony Blair, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, and their host, Portuguese Prime
Minister Jose Durao Barroso, to discuss diplomatic options on Iraq."

Yeah, I saw that too - it's really 2 different polls. It is quite interesting - but not surprising -
how many people just a few days ago stated they were against this are now committed to seeing this
through. I know this feeling myself; I've thought all along Bush has cranial rectitus, but if we're
going to do it let's not do it 0.5 assed. It do think, however, there is a distinction of being "in
favor" of war (first poll) as opposed to backing your country (second poll).

A large distinction. A very valid point.

thread. You guys are too uptight. Next time I'll be sure my numbers are accurate to within 3 digits.
I really meant 92.8 million Americans, but that's assuming there are 320 million of us around, I'm
sure that number doesn't meet your standards either though. Get out and ride your damn bike instead
of nit-picking a non-scientific thread.

Your assumption is wrong. 290 +/- million.

Your classic "get out and ride" defense is funny, as well as hypocritical.

That was a quick attempt to keep my message from seeming hostile. The statement is hypocritical as I
haven't ridden in 2 weeks since I broke my elbow. Anyway, so sorry you've had a bad day, hope things
go better for you.

Again, another funny usenet fallacy rears its ugly head.

Why do you think I've had a bad day just because you are flailing around?

I'm having a great day fruitloop!
