Bush ties to SBVT vs Hussein/al Qaeda ties
Have I missed anything?

Discredited evidence of Bush/Swift Boat Vets ties

$25K of SBVT's initial funding came from Harlan Crow, a Trustee for George HW Bush's presidential library ands long time Republican fundraiser.

$200K of SBVT's initial funding came from Bob J. Perry, a c lose associate of Bush's chief political advisor Karl Rove. Perry has also directly given $48,000 to Bush election efforts, including $2000, the maximum amount, this year.

SBVT's spokeswoman Marrie Spaeth is married to Tex Lezar, George Bush's running mate in the 1994 TX gubernatorial election

SBVT's figurehead John O'Neill is in a law partnership with:
- George Bush's Department of Commerce deputy council, Margaret Wilson. Wilson was also George Bush's General Council from 1998-2000 while Bush was TX governor
- Jack O'Neill, former husband of Harriet O'Neill who Bush appointed to the TX state Court of Appeals
- Tex Lezar, George Bush's former running mate mentioned above

William E Franke, SBVT Steering Committee, has paid $2,000 to Bush/Cheney 2004, $2,000 to the Americans for a Republican Majority PAC, $2,000 to the Repican Keep Our Majority PAC

Weymouth Symmes is SBVT Treasurer. In 2004, he and wife Terry have paid $1500 to Bush/Cheney 2004 and the RNC

Bush's press secretary noted that the White House could stop the activities of the group, but only if Kerry somehow stops the activities of 527s working agaist Bush

Kenneth Cordier, a recently disowned Bush campaign advisor appears in the most recent SBVT television ad

Rock solid evidence of Hussein/bin Laden ties

Osama bin Laden wants bio and chemical weapons and Hussein knows how to make them

There was an anti-Hussein group associated with al Qaeda in an area of Iraq Baghdad did not control

In the 1980's, Hussein once gave a chunk of cash to an anti-Sudan government Sudanese terrorist group, and bin Laden gave the Sudanese government a headache a decade later

A couple guys who the administration says were al Qaeda "associates" were in Iraq. Well, not anywhere as many as there were 9/11 hijackers in the US, but there was a couple of them

Both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden hate America, especially the Bushes

2. I guess this is supposed to be sarcastic?
This post is awful hard to decipher.

4. Not sarcastic
Rather I'm accurately describing the clear indications of ties between Bush and Swift Boat Vets for * and the way the administration tried to tried to create the perception of a tie between Hussein and OBL.

3. Nice and concise...
Podesta screwed the pooch yesterday with George Stephomealymouth and O'Neill. He came across as too angry, and wide reaching. I think you nailed it Elk, on the link to Bush. I'd also suggest that we focus on the biggest, most provable lies regarding the Smear Boat Frags. Personally, I think the Silver Star incident is the most powerful piece.

BTW, I haven't been able to set up any new accounts on the inSeanity board. Any clue what's up with that? I think I had one of their moderators hospitalized with sleep depravation for awhile.
