Biden Doublespeak

Yesterday on Meet the Press Senator Joe Biden had some choice comments that deserve attention.

MR. RUSSERT: But make no mistake about it, the bill that you voted for authorized the president to go to war.

SEN. BIDEN: It allowed the president to go to war. It did not authorize him to go to it. You make it sound like it said, “Mr. President, go to war.” It said, “Mr. President, don’t go to war.” It said “go to the United Nations. Mr. President, don’t go to war, try to get a deal here. Mr. President, get the inspectors back in. Mr. President, tell us that that’s what you’re about to do. And, Mr. President, if all else fails, you have authority to use force.” That’s what it said.

These are interesting statements. He says to "go to the United Nations"...the same UN that unanimously issued Resolution 1441, threatening Iraq to disarm? Biden says "get the inspectors back in". The same inspectors that Saddam hadn't complied with? The same inspectors that President Clinton and others said Iraq had failed to comply with and had interfered with?

In fact, reviewing Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq shows nothing of the sort. It states nothing about inspectors, except to say "Whereas Iraq...attempted to thwart the efforts of weapons inspectors to identify and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and development capabilities", and "Iraq persists in violating resolutions of the United Nations Security Council" and "Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 authorizes the use of all necessary means to enforce United Nations Security Council Resolution 660". This all seems to indicate the willingness to proceed with military efforts.

Furthermore, the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002states the same. This resolution provided authorization as follows:

AUTHORIZATION- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to--

(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and

(2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.

This sounds pretty clear to me, and it should to Senator Biden to...after all, he voted for it.

Mr. Biden, in the early stages of his presidential bid, is doing his best to distance himself from his earlier statements and his vote.

Tenet's Tenuously Tall Tale

Today, George Tenet's book, At the Center of the Storm, hits bookshelves throughout the country. Within the pages of the book, Tenet seeks to exonerate himself of any culpability to any intelligence failures in the lead-up to the Iraq war. As readers will recall, Tenet - appointed by President Clinton - is best known for his "Slam Dunk" statement, informing President Bush that intelligence about WMD in Iraq was “a slam dunk case!” Now, Tenet is claiming that he never said those words. Or, if he said them, he didn't mean them in this context. Yeah, something like that.

Unfortunately for Tenet, the memories of most of us is somewhat better, and the details of events is not so easily forgotten. Mr. Tenet seems to be forgetting that he has already confirmed that he said these words, and has already, seemingly, claimed responsibility for the error:

George J. Tenet, former director of central intelligence, said he regretted assuring President Bush in 2002 that he had ''slam dunk'' evidence that Iraq had unconventional weapons. ''Those were the two dumbest words I ever said,'' Mr. Tenet told 1,300 people at a Kutztown University forum Wednesday in Kutztown, Pa. The theory was a leading justification for the war in Iraq. Such weapons were not found.

While Mr. Tenet may wish he never said those words, his own statements indicate otherwise.

Yet, this is not the only inconsistency in his book. In order to further shift the blame, Tenet indicates that the decision to go to war with Iraq had already been made only hours after 9/11.

On the day after 9/11, he [Tenet] adds, he ran into Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative and the head of the Defense Policy Board, coming out of the White House. He says Mr. Perle turned to him and said: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday. They bear responsibility."

He confirmed this encounter on 60 minutes last night. Yet, according to Richard Perle, this conversation never happened. In fact, it couldn't have happened, because Perle was stranded in France on 9/12, and unable to return until 9/15!

Did Tenet perhaps merely get the date of this encounter wrong? Well, the quote Tenet ascribes to Perle hinges on the encounter taking place September 12: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday."

Perle denies the encounter. The facts discredit the claim. If Tenet merely got the date wrong, it contradicts his quote. If he made up the encounter and manufactured the quote, it explains everything.

While President Bush has been charged with misleading us and making up his own facts, it would appear that these charges are somewhat misdirected. George Tenet clearly has difficulty with the truth.

Sheryl Crow Saves The World!

Ms Crow advocates reducing our toilet paper usage:

I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgement [sic] I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."

She's absolutely brilliant!

Thinking Blogger Award Makes The Rounds

The Thinking Blogger Award meme has landed at my doorstep via 2996, an apparent associate of the original 911 Tribute blog: 2996/DCRoe Blog.

"We'll nominate 5 blogs from the 2,996 blog roll that we visit fairly regularly"

Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed that many of my favorite blogs have been "tagged" with this virtual award. All worthy indeed. So as not to break the 'chain' I nominate the following blogs as Thinking bloggers (I'll not 'hit' or bother previously tagged blogs)...

In no particular order:

Because she makes us think about ourselves and more importantly, about our world. Don't hold your breath waiting for Sam to respond to this meme. She's too busy. Hopefully, some day, she'll be able to post as regularly as she used to... and cheer us all up again, daily.

Are islamists opening another front against the free?

By simply having more children (who are systematically brain-washed by the huge Islamic hate machine) than your sworn enemy? And over time, ultimately, will the numbers favor your side? Another reason to oppose abortion? You bet. But, that's a topic for another time.

America the 'melting pot' HAS done a pretty good job of assimilating all ethnicities. No other county can claim that. Particularly France and Great Britain...

Am I just paranoid? I doubt it...

Check out this article from Mark Steyn from a few years ago. He presents some amazingly clear facts:

The single most important fact about the early 21st century is the rapid aging of almost every developed nation other than the United States: Canada, Europe and Japan are getting old fast, older than any functioning society has ever been and faster than any has ever aged. A society ages when its birth rate falls and it finds itself with fewer children and more grandparents. For a stable population – ie, no growth, no decline; just a million folks in 1950, a million in 1980, a million in 2010 – you need a Total Fertility Rate of 2.1 live births per woman. That’s what America has: 2.1, give or take. Canada has 1.48, an all-time low and a more revealing difference between the Great Satan and the Great White North than any of the stuff (socialized health care, fewer handguns, more UN peacekeepers, etc) that Canucks usually brag about. Europe as a whole has 1.38, Japan 1.32, Russia 1.14. These countries – or, more precisely, these people – are going out of business.

Scary stuff.

The solution?

Have more sex... Always a good thing. Well, usually...

Nancy's Spring Vacation
