Here Putz....Choke on THIS.----Yah, it's bad when the memory goes.
FROM MICHAEL MOORE.COM


2000: WE DON'T BELIEVE IN WAR AND NATION BUILDING. Just three years later, during your debate with Al Gore in the 2000 election, when asked by the moderator Jim Lehrer where you stood when it came to using force for regime change, you turned out to be a downright pacifist:


“I--I would take the use of force very seriously. I would be guarded in my approach. I don't think we can be all things to all people in the world. I think we've got to be very careful when we commit our troops. The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation building. I--I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders. I believe the role of the military is to fight and win war and, therefore, prevent war from happening in the first place. And so I take my--I take my--my responsibility seriously.” --October 3, 2000

2. Guy could hardly speak back then either.
However the media whores declared him victorious. Fucking pisses me off even thinking about it.

Other than Chimp and his minions I seriously believe the greatest threat to this country is corporate media. I am astounded at what we are letting them get away with.

I would love to see Michael Moore devote his next film entirely to the role the media is playing in this country.

3. well, Bush is just admitting Cheney pulls the strings
"The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation building."

So, Cheney was in favor of nation building and Bush wasn't. The two enter office, and we begin nation building. Who's policy is that?
