Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that "no one knows"
if gasoline prices in the United States will reach $9 per gallon, and
acknowledged that the possibility is outside his control.

"I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to
oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy,"
Salazar told reporters when asked if gas prices could reach $9 per
gallon, as they have been in Greece. "Where it will all end, no one
knows.

Twaysee, you useless troll, gas prices are the equivalent of US$8 to $9
per gallon in much of the EU because of TAX POLICY, you ignorant moron!

The base price of a gallon (or a liter, or any given unit volume) of
gasoline isn't that different in other parts of the world, but tax policies
make a HUGE difference, as do national polices that subsidize prices. If
gas tax in Greece was at the level of a typical U.S. state, prices would
be much closer to prices paid in the U.S.

Now go out and rent a clue, troll.

Senate Vote to Authorize War Shadows Clinton


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution

An authorization by Congress was sought by President George W. Bush
soon after his September 12, 2002, statement before the U.N. General
Assembly asking for quick action by the Security Council in enforcing
the resolutions against Iraq.[4][5]

Of the legislation introduced by Congress in response to President
Bush's requests,[6] S.J.Res. 45 sponsored by Sen. Daschle & Sen. Lott
was based on the original White House proposal authorizing the use of
force in Iraq, H.J.Res. 114 sponsored by Rep. Hastert & Rep. Gephardt
and the substantially similar S.J.Res. 46 sponsored by Sen. Lieberman
were modified proposals. H.J.Res. 110 sponsored by Rep. Hastings was a
separate proposal never considered on the floor. Eventually, the
Hastert-Gephardt proposal became the legislation Congress focused on.

Introduced in Congress on October 2, 2002, in conjunction with the
Administration's proposals,[2][7] H.J.Res. 114 passed the House of
Representatives on Thursday afternoon at 3:05 p.m. EDT on October 10,
2002, by a vote of 296-133,[8] and passed the Senate after midnight
early Friday morning, at 12:50 a.m. EDT on October 11, 2002, by a vote
of 77-23.[9] It was signed into law as Pub.L. 107-243 by President
Bush on October 16, 2002.

Senate Vote to Authorize War Shadows Clinton
The "vote to authorize" was taken BEFORE the Interim UNSCOM report,
the DOD refusal to support the "aluminum tube", "Mobile labs", or ANY
of the stated reasons given the politicians when they made that vote.

After Feb. 2003----NONE of those stated "slam-dunk" reasons were
supported by facts or evidence.

Pretty much blackmailed into it with threats of being called "traitors" by
Republicans if they hadn't.

Nobody in their right mind believes Bush and the neocons and Bush and the
neocons alone don't own the Iraq war farce.

The only reason the US didn't get humiliated is because Bush and the
neocons ran up trillions of debt for it, hiring private corporations to
fight it and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens
(which you never saw in the lapdog US media) along the way.

Think real hard now, this is complex...

Why did the democrats vote for GW2 in greater numbers than they did for GW1?

Because for years they said the same thing Bush did, but were even more
strident, that's why.

So when rhetoric acme to action of vote, they either voted on their
conscience and belief in their OWN WORDS, or they voted because they had
backed themselves into a corner by lying just like Bush, and a no vote would
be politically inconvenient.

it's one or the other and either way, they lose. They are weasels.

When the Mosque was bombed and the revolution began, the democrats trampled
each other in the rush to declare "this war is lost", when our people were
there, fighting.

Scumbags.

That vote was months before Hans Blix and UNSCOM was allowed into Iraq
(about Dec, 2002)

When Hans Blix began to tell Bush that NOTHING was being found---Bush
didn't care.

Wilson had already debunked "yellow cake"

DOD would not confirm the "aluminum tubes" for Nuclear
weapons/research

State Dept said the NO collusion between Bin Laden and Al Queda

There were no Missiles capable of hitting the US

There were no "mobile labs"

There was no nuclear weapons research

The Attack on Iraq was NOT because they had WMD

It was for another (but stupid) reason.

A year before Bush used it as evidence the CIA had rejected the

UNSC Resolutions are part of our obligation to fulfil our treaty
obligations to the UN Charter
Post by Y***@Jurgis.net
How is that not clear.
Even if it passed, Bush would have had to agree (not veto)
Only IF the UNSC members unanimously agreed that Iraq had BEGUN to
voluntarily:
1. stop shooting at UN member planes that were enforcing the UN-
sanction no-fly zones
2. Fully and uncondtiionally comply with ALL UN Security Council
resolutons

What Iraq DID:
1. "No sooner had Iraq grudgingly accepted the U.N.'s November 8
resolution than it spent six of the following seven days shooting at
U.S. and British planes patrolling the southern and northern no-fly
zones. Resolution 1441 specifically states that "Iraq shall not take
or threaten hostile acts directed at . . . any Member State taking
action to uphold any Council resolution."
http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/burdenofproof.html

2. Constructed/retained WMDs in direct violation of UNSC Resolutions
(Only two examples needed)

"Al-Samud II missile program, begun in 2001...Iraq researched and
developed the Al Samud II missile despite UN provisions, which
prohibited such a system with its specification."
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iraq/al-samoud_2.htm
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/10/24/wikileaks-documents-show-wmds-found-in-iraq/

3. Select which parts of the cease-fire agreements they would comply
while holding others off with oil-for-food payoffs on-the side.
"Hussein never had any intention of abiding by the truce......the UN
had allowed Hussein to grab billions in personal wealth by perverting
the embargo in the Oil-for-Food Program...

(ans: As many as Hans Blix said he'd find)
1) In his 3/7/2003 written report, Hans Blix indicated Iraq had drones which
exceeded the UN's 90 mile range limit. These could be used to drop chemical
weapons. BLIX MADE NO MENTION OF THIS IS HIS ORAL REPORT.

2) In the same written report, Blix indicated that inspectors had "credible
evidence" that Iraq still possessed Anthrax. Once again, BLIX FAILED TO
MENTION THIS ORALLY.

Blix is a tool. He knew that there is going to be a war and he knew that it
was relatively unpopular. He wasn't about to make any more comments that
could be seen as a trigger for war. He didn't want to be held personally
responsible for that. It put him in a place where it is better to err on
the side of caution and to understate Iraqi gross non-compliance.

Of course the absurdity is that we all knew that Iraq was in total
non-compliance and wass not truly disarming. The legitimate argument of the
anti-war group is that war is not worth it in spite of that because the
danger does not exceed the penalty of going to war. But unfortunately the
question of compliance is being used as a proxy debate rather than getting
at the real issue which should have been debated more fully by that crowd
before 1441. Undoubtedly some will continue to spin what 1441 meant, but the
diplomats all knew how it broke down but whatever.

Blix came out of this looking like a complete fool. The IAEA absolutely
bungled their assessment of the Iraqi nuclear program years ago when he was
their director. That certainly hasn't helped his rep. If Iraq was found to
have massive amounts of WMD and if some of the claims that he has disputed
prove to be true then he would lose all credibility.

You're not honest enough to cite what the KNOWN intel was AFTER Jan
2003
A year after it was proven that NO justification for attacking Iraq
existed?
Hell, we knew that by June 2003.
4/25/2005..................
WASHINGTON - In his final word, the CIA's top weapons inspector in Iraq said
Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has "gone as far as
feasible" and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported
programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion.

"After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the
WMD-related detainees has been exhausted," wrote Charles Duelfer, head of
the Iraq Survey Group, in an addendum to the final report he issued last
fall.

"As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible."

In 92 pages posted online Monday evening, Duelfer provides a final look at
an investigation that occupied over 1,000 military and civilian translators,
weapons specialists and other experts at its peak. His latest addenda
conclude a roughly 1,500-page report released last fall.

On Monday, Duelfer said there is no purpose in keeping many of the detainees
who are in custody because of their knowledge on Iraq's weapons, although he
did not provide any details about the current number. A U.S. official, who
spoke on condition of anonymity, said the ultimate decision on their release
will be made by the Iraqi authorities.

History will show that Bush tried a different tact to answer a long-term

But they don't have enough liberals in Islam, and the western liberal is

And that pesky issue about democracy being against their religion.

What multicultural experiment? We have always been multicultural,
going back to before even the Romans arrived. Muslims have been
living in Europe since the 700AD and their population has always been
growing.

They currently have the largest conversion rate of any religion. Over
100,000 converted in the UK last year.

The problem is that you probably see the press about the groups that
oppose multiculturalism. This is not the reality of life here.

Just as I do not think that your schools are constantly at war, but
that is the impression the press gives about your country.

Article 42 authorizes the enforcement by UN members, while "Resolution

of the disarmament provisions. The resolution was passed under Chapter
7 of the UN Charter, meaning that military force could be used to
enforce compliance."

The Bush Administrations’ reason to enter Iraq was as a member of

Congress’ passage of a “Joint Resolution to Authorize the use of
United States Armed Forces Against Iraq”

He believed that after the Gulf War---ALL of Saddam's WMD were

Blix's interim report told bush that NOTHING could be found
...because the Iraqi's were';t cooperating? LOL
Wrong

Iraq, AFTER Dec 2003 WAS cooperating

Blix didn't have time to visit ALL sites, all suspected sites, all
palaces, all bunkers, and told bush that. Bush was not interested in
hearing.
Post by Info Junkie
Post by Y***@Jurgis.net
The reason it was termed as such---is that Blix requested another
period of time to confirm what he believed, but did not have evidence
to support.
After 12 years of ignoring UNSC resolutions,
Then you agree.

The UN was the authority---and did NOT give Bush permission.

He believed that after the Gulf War---ALL of Saddam's WMD were
destroyed in the bunkers by Bush 1 and the UN forces,
He was proven wrong.
Oh, Then you found them?

Tell the government if you know where they are. They are still
looking.

that the
capabilities to produce any were gone, that no evidence showed he was
attempting to reconstittute anything, and that Saddam was using the
blocking of UNSCOM inspections to make Iran believe he still was.
So tell us sonny, IF in January 2003, Hans Blix found NO evidence (of
WMDs). prior to coalition forces entering Iraq (March 2003), how was
it possible that two months LATER, that these non-existant, UN-
prohibited WMDs have been used as... "....Iraq launched approximately
five Al Samud II missiles against Coalition forces during OIF..."?
ROTFLMHO
"Launched" what in them?

A missile with explosives isn't why we invaded Iraq.

You need all the Bush claims again?
Post by Info Junkie
Bottom line: Based on the amount of materials discovered, Hans Blix
was proven wrong again and again.
NO amount of WMD were ever found in Iraq by troops. The ONLY remnants
of WMD were in remote places where the explosive destruction didn't
explode some (very few) Old artillaryshells.

The invasion proved what Hans Blix could have done in a short period
of time---making the invasion unnecessary

Not so. If that were the truth---you'd have a laundry list of cites

March 17, 2003-In his final prewar ultimatum, Bush declared, "Intelligence
gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime
continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever
devised."

Duped? Bush was told by the CIA that all other intelligence agencies
had declared the yellow cake documents to be forgeries, yet Bush still
used it as evidence.....how is that being duped?

The yellow cake documents were a really bad forgery, they even got the
name of the foreign minister wrong on them.


"CIA sources insist the Bush administration was made aware some time
before the State of the Union address that the Niger allegation was
false. "
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,463779,00.html#ixzz1tW3GfUzd


"On Sept. 18, 2002, CIA director George Tenet briefed President Bush
in the Oval Office on top-secret intelligence that Saddam Hussein did
not have weapons of mass destruction, according to two former senior
CIA officers. Bush dismissed as worthless this information from the
Iraqi foreign minister, a member of Saddam’s inner circle, although it
turned out to be accurate in every detail. Tenet never brought it up
again."

What exactly are you accusing the Democrats of, voting in the majority for
an action they knew was based on a flawed Majority View? They all had the

Enough of the articles of war were factual enough without the WMD intel,
they were when Clinton was President, amd they never changed.

Unlike Clinton (and Obama), Bush took a year to rush to war. He asked
Congress, he asked the UN, he explained at length to the people ALL of the
rationale.

The left never accepted it, and never will, but that doesn't matter now. You

Bush officials never tire of repeating the following stories as
justification for their policy:

Hussein gassed his own people.
Hussein tried to assassinate George Bush, Sr.
Hussein's soldiers took babies out of incubators during the invasion
of Kuwait.
These stories make for great propaganda, but none of them are true,
and the Bush administration knows it.

Saddam Hussein did not gas his own people.

Supposedly Hussein gassed Iraqi Kurds at Halabja in March 1988 during
the closing days of the Iran-Iraq war. But it isn't true. In 1990, the
U.S. government found that the Kurds died by cyanide gas. It was the
Iranians who used cyanide, while the Iraqis used mustard gas. This
means it was the Iranians who accidentally killed the Kurds during
battle. Hussein had nothing to do with it. (Source: Army War College,
Stephen Pelletier & colleague)

In a related lie, Hussein is also said to have committed genocide in
August 1988, killing 100,000 Iraqi Kurds with machine guns, then
burying them in mass graves. U.S. intelligence services have uniformly
dismissed this story. According to Stephen Pelletier of the U.S. Army
War College, no such mass graves have ever been found because none
exist. The incident never happened. Human Rights Watch, which
originally reported the story, has since retracted it, but the lie
lives on.

Saddam Hussein did not try to assassinate George Bush, Sr.

Bush, Jr. loves to tell the story of how Hussein "tried to kill my
dad." But it's not true. Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh debunked
the story in a December 5, 1993 article in The New Yorker titled "A
Case Not Closed." The bomb was actually miles away from Bush, Sr. and
was likely a set-up by Kuwait to keep Clinton from easing sanctions on
Iraq.

Saddam Hussein's soldiers did not remove babies from incubators in
Kuwait.

A New York public relations firm hired by the Kuwaiti government
created this story to win American public support for U.S. military
action against Iraq. The fiction was based on the tearful testimony of
a Kuwaiti woman before the U.S. Senate as it debated war in 1990. The
woman claimed to have witnessed the incubator incident with her own
eyes, but she was really the daughter of the Kuwaiti Information
Minister, and hadn't even been in Kuwait on the day the alleged
atrocity took place. (See csmonitor.com/2002/ 0906/p01s02-wosc.html.)

The base price of a gallon (or a liter, or any given unit volume) of
gasoline isn't that different in other parts of the world, but tax policies
make a HUGE difference, as do national polices that subsidize prices. If
gas tax in Greece was at the level of a typical U.S. state, prices would
be much closer to prices paid in the U.S.

Every time the price of gas increased a penny while Bush was POTUS you
leftists screamed to high heaven that it was simply because Bush was a
former "oil man" and he and that other EVILLLLLLLL oil man Cheney were
making gas prices increase to make $BILLIONS for BIG OIL and
Halliburton. Have you suffered a blow to the head recently? Off your
meds or simply a bald faced liar?


http://blog.heritage.org/2011/03/04/in-pictures-bush-vs-obama-on-gas-prices/

Yes, the price of gasoline reached historic levels, rising above $4/
gallon during Bush’s second term, but that wasn’t due to a lack of
trying to increase domestic supply. U.S. domestic supply is but one
factor in the global price of oil, and thus gas prices. But when a
president purposefully chooses to decrease our domestic supply by 13%,
with hopes of driving that supply even lower, and objects to U.S.-
Canadian pipelines and new forms of exploration, discovery and
friendly importation, the price consequences are real, and should be
scrutinized.
During the first twenty-six months of President Bush’s first term in
office, the price of gasoline increased by 7%. At the end of his
second term, the price had decreased by 9% from the time he took
office (adjusted for inflation). During the first twenty-six months of
Obama’s term in office, the price of gasoline has spiked over 67% with
no relief in site.

President Bush’s response to $4/gallon gasoline was to lift
presidential and congressional moratoriums on expanded drilling in the
Outer Continental Shelf, a move that many critics say came too late.
But what about Obama?

Some on the right have criticized Obama for having no energy policy.
This is wrong. Obama’s energy policy is working exactly the way it is
designed. This administration knows that unless the price of fossil
fuels skyrocket, expensive alternative energy sources, no matter how
heavily subsidized, will continue to be unattractive to American
consumers.

Obviously, this risky desire to have high gas prices is a punitive
policy that foolishly ignores how Americans use petroleum. While oil
is largely a transportation fuel, solar and wind can only contribute
to our electricity demands. Oil accounts for less than 1% of our
electricity demand.

The liberal fascination with developing expensive vehicles that run
on electricity doesn’t change that: 1) Solar or wind powered vehicles
don’t commercially exist; 2) The cars that do run on electricity, or
even battery-powered hybrids still require gas; and 3) the high cost
of the alternatively fueled vehicles makes them largely insignificant
in the auto market and cost-prohibitive to the average consumer.

#4 Robert assumes a Republican will bring back $1 gas, so he can
easily fill up his pickup and SUV...which he never uses for their
capacities (at least other than by driving them around town, everyone
assumes he has a sizable penis).

So -- is it any of your damn business *WHAT* he does with his
money/vehicles?

The problem with "Progressives" is that they want to tell everyone how
to live their lives.

Sounds like Orval can't afford the vehicle, fuel, or even penile
enhancement surgery.

Wrong on all counts! (as usual) I CAN afford my vehicles and don't need
surgery of ANY kind. (unlike certain self-styled "Progressives," who
have a need to control others.)

   Here. Let me help. When Obama took office the price of gas was 1/2
what it is today. He and his boy Chu' want the price of American gas
to be at european levels,at least,not because he can't do anything to
prevent that from happening but because they BOTH want to destroy the
American economy,capitalism,BIG OIL and the middle class. Hope that
helps son.

Its great to see other people coming to the same conclusion I have.

Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that "no one knows"
if gasoline prices in the United States will reach $9 per gallon, and
acknowledged that the possibility is outside his control.
"I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to
oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy,"
Salazar told reporters when asked if gas prices could reach $9 per
gallon, as they have been in Greece. "Where it will all end, no one
knows.

Gas prices in Canada (where something like 40% of our oil comes from)
are higher than they are here. Are you going to blame that on Obama
too? Get a clue asswipe.

Tracey realizes he can't deliver the $5 a gallon gas by Memorial Day
he previously promised, so he has to update his forecast.

Yet he does so still not getting a promise in return from the
Republicans to lower something else--the age of consent to 12.

Yes -- the first change would be to put the eco-Nazis in their deserved
place! That includes the whole set of self-styled "Progressives."

Which is why the Republican scream about lowering it...to keep their
non-acolytes ON their butts.
