none of the stories I mentioned are "Roswell-like" stories. these are all real stories which have since been shown to have been misrepresented by the bush administration and were not properly investigated or reported by our media at the time.

you do not know what you are talking about, in other words.

sorry, but your post demonstrates that you have not been paying attention, so you do yourself no favors to call my list of ACTUAL events which are OUT THERE FOR YOU TO FIND OUT ABOUT "roswell stories."

And, yes, the invasion was illegal because it was a pre-emptive war, which, under the nuremberg conventions which we helped to write, would seem to me to be considered a war of aggression, to me and John Dean, and in fact, quite a few people before and after the invasion. Tommy Franks, in fact, was mentioned as someone who could be tried because of his actions.

And, maybe you aren't aware of the many, many people in this nation who ARE aware that Bush lied about the war. Whether they care enough or not may also have something to do with the way the freaking dem leadership fails to call him on this.

And frankly, I am sick of people who cry "conspiracy theory" whenever they hear about the total moral vacuum that lies at the heart of our govt at this time.

John Kerry was also called a "conspiracy theorist" when he investigated BCCI, which turned out to be the largest bank fraud in WORLD history, which has also subsequently been shown to have been a source for North and his gang of crooks to illegal and treasonously deal drugs and trade arms with Iran to pull a "Kissinger in Paris."

In addition, major players in BCCI include the brother-in-law of bin Laden, Khalid bin Mahfouz, who the UN listed as a state sponsor of terrorism, and who, btw, funded Bush with an 11% stake in Bush's failing Harken energy, and who, btw, was chummy with Ghaith Pharon, who used Bush buddy James Bath to try to buy a stake in a Houston airport in the 90s...

So, you know, maybe if the dems had had the balls to impeach Reagan and Bush Sr. for their crimes regarding Iran/Contra, and for Bush Sr.'s illegal arming of both Saddam and Iran, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. (btw, you can read all about this last bit from an award-winning reporter from The Financial Times of London...not exactly a left wing source, in his book "Spider's Web : The Secret History of How the White House Illegally Armed Iraq." (Bantam, 1993) Alan Friedman, the author, also did investigative work with Ted Koppel on this very issue.
