It makes you wonder about much of our military history- and all the truth twisting that must have gone on in the past.

2. It's funny you say that
I was watching some news or somethin the other night about N.Korea and nukes, and how a smart korean woman was saying Kim Jong is a smart man and even if he had nukes would never ever use them offensively cause he cherishes the power he has in his country and knows if he ever used one N. Korea would cease to exist.

I thought wow, she's right. There ain't no way he'd ever use them first. But damned if that's the message being applied by our govt. through the media...

5. Religious fundamentalists - not to be confused with Iraq
No one ever accused al-Qaeda of being completely rational.

Saddam was generally very rational. He frequently acted on bad information, but if you assume the information he had was actually true, his decisions are completely sane.

9. When Andy Card spoke to him,
Dubya was wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt and a red tie.
In the photos afterwards,
he is wearing a dark grey suit and an almost white shirt with the red tie.
He changed his clothes.

He stayed sitting still after he got the news,
and then he changed his clothes.

Why couldn't he get up right away?
Why did the Secret Service just stand there, nonplussed?
And what happened to make him change his clothes at a time like that?
