Mr O'Neill why did you tell the truth. Lies are to be kept in Wash DC. Many of us from mid America did not need to be told your story we new. Many more will now turn on you, for sure your republican friends. You should get a armed guard. And now your going on 60 minutes to. Don't you dare tell the truth.

hey he probably says some things taht are true, but probably also has some things he has embellished...after all how will he sell books?

i just find it ironic that you are so quick to accept what this guy says after you have been such a skeptic and doubter on everything else

I undestand we can see and here most of it on 60 minutes tonight. He just has to be lieing. The first part that I seen. Bush would never stretch the truth. But then Powell that turn coat said. Some of this chit was talked about but just in general what if's not that any of it was cast in stone. Of course not you talk about infading Iraq 6 months before 9/11 and it's just a joke.

Nothing wrong with planning but when it's not presented as an option, but as a necessity and bolstered by lies then the plan becomes a plot.

Makes me wonder if those employment numbers were intentionally overstated, why not fudge a recovery? Should be easier to plot than an invasion!!!

There is a big difference between contingency planning and a determined effort to invade another country. What was wrong was the campaign of lies used to justify the invasion in the middle of our "War on Terror". The hunt for Bin Laden and Al Quieda was put on the back burner and the resources in Afganistan undercut to invade Iraq. Now we have troops running around with targets on their back, while US cities are left to fend for themselves. The Office of Homeland Security can issue alerts and that's about it. All the work and expense of going to level orange is put on State and Local governments. So much for the tax cut, how much have your local taxes and the cost of services gone up as a result of this strategy? Of course we will have to pay those billions spent in Iraq someday as well!!!

chucky, not the baseball paul oneill but a man of the same name that was in the Bush admin. as Tresuary Secretary. He came out (with a book too I think lol) and said that from the start of his administration, BUsh had it in for Sadaam Hussein and his overthrow/death/capture. Pretty much saying that no matter the cost or consequence, Hussein was going down while he was in charge and that this was planned from the start, even before 911. I think Paul Oneill was head of ALCOA??

Thx, Six Five. I figured that was what it was.

You've got a fired employee with axe to grind AND trying to sell a book.

Now I ask myself if what he says is fact.why did Bush offer Saddam andfamily opp to go in exile and then extend same option when 1st dead line was reached:confused:

Wonder if Saddam and sons would like same opp now :)

Now if were speaking of contingency plans I hope like hell he has worked on one for Iran,Syria and N Korea also.

One thing I do know for absolute fact the above 3 sure are not taking our money and laughing like in past administration.
--andI sure don't see any A.Q. training camps openly training anywhere like before--but then again more than half their upper tier componants are dead or behind bars.

Question for you DVJ
Who do you think will be pulling harder against Bush in coming elections,the liberals here or the terrorists overseas. Frightening when you put it in context.:scared

Bush put that over the hill gang of his fathers friends Cheney and Rumsfeld and Powel together for one reason and that was to invade Iraq. 9-11 just made it easier to pull off. It also probably delayed it.

Us libs wanted Saddam out years ago while you Right Wingers were busy propping him up and cherring on his killing his own people and while Cheney was making illegal business deals with him while heading Haliburton. Nice spin Doctor but it doesn't sell. We are glad Saddam is gone. But the price was much too expensive and made even more expensive because of the way the right wing supported the guy for years and the way Bush and Co. mishandled it.
