Edited on Thu Sep-13-07 10:00 PM by FrenchieCat
Bush's speech to be a brilliant idea, I'm having a difficult time reconciling John Edwards words of the now, and his words of the recent past.

When Edwards spoke, he reminded me of exactly how I felt before this war began, and how congress let me down big time....and he was a big part of that......I won't forget how I felt back then, as it affects my perception of him and those words currently coming out of his mouth.

The first thing Edwards said in his commercial response was that Bush tries to link 9/11 to Iraq, and we know that is wrong.

But then I remember when Edwards was also linking 9/11 to Iraq.....

"This week, a week where we remember the sacrifice of thousands of innocent Americans made on 9-11, the choice could not be starker. Had we known that such attacks were imminent, we surely would have used every means at our disposal to prevent them and take out the plotters. We cannot wait for such a terrible event -- or, if weapons of mass destruction are used, one far worse -- to address the clear and present danger posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."
Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)
US Senate floor statement: "Iraqi Dictator Must Go"
September 12, 2002
http://web.archive.org/web/20030219152335/edwards.senate.gov/press/2002/0912a-pr.html



and I remember when Edwards was encouraging Congress to get into Iraq.....the congress that he now criticizes and pointing his finger at........

"Fast congressional action to reinforce our resolve is more imperative, not less, in light of Saddam Hussein's recent overture to allow U.N. inspectors back into Iraq. That is a gambit we have seen before. Congress needs to act now to make clear to our U.N. allies and to Iraq that the United States will not stand for the usual half-measures or delaying tactics.
<>
Iraq's destructive capacity has the potential to throw the entire Middle East into chaos, and it poses a mortal threat to our vital ally, Israel. Thousands of terrorist operatives around the world would pay anything to get their hands on Saddam Hussein's arsenal and would stop at nothing to use it against us. America must act, and Congress must make clear to Hussein that he faces a united nation."

12. Yup.
My sentiments exactly.

Color me not-so-impressed by Edwards' little campaign commercial.

14. Are you going to spam this to every thread?
It's fine to bring it up, but don't you have a whole thread about it in GD:P?

15. I posted on the threads first, and then decided to make my own thread.....
(check the timing)

But really, is it what I posted that you don't like, or the fact that I posted my same thought on the many many threads all dealing with the same 2 minute Edwards spot?

Seems like before one post a thread, one is supposed to look for duplicates; there's even one poster who posted one thread about that 2 minutes, and then posted another thread continuing that 1st thread instead of responding within the same original thread. I didn't read your protest on that thread about too much of the same thing. Just sayin'! :shrug:
