Before you make yourself look completely foolish.... read the article again. Here... I'll help.

CIA sources on Iraq were 'deliberately misleading,'

The Central Intelligence Agency (news - web sites) and other US government institutions were in some cases deliberately misled about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the war, Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) has acknowledged.

It turned out that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and, in some cases, deliberately misleading,"

Am I the only one left on the planet who can fucking read and comprehend?

that reminds me of that part in Atlas Shrugged where nobody wanted to take responsibility for the train crash, so corporate executives just kept passing the blame on down the chain of command until all the fault rested on the shoulders of some poor office messenger guy.

It can remind you of anything you wish. It doesn't change the fact that Powell neither stated or implied that the Bush administration lied.

Unless you'd care to show me where it did?

Now.... what this makes me think of is giving books to the blind and expecting them to read them. The written word is not all that tricky. The only ones who could read an article that says "the Administration was mislead" and come away from that believing it says "the administration lied" are those who want so desperately for it to be so, that comprehension escapes them.

The president was the one who presented the information to me.  I blame him. 

blaming the CIA or their sources is such a lame excuse for an excuse. 

seriously, that sounds like something that some ghetto nigga would say to me if he ripped me off on a bag: 

"Yeah, I went to my homeboy's house to get you your bag, but my friend took all the money and gave me nothing.  That dude is kinda shady.  You need to watch out for him." :rolleyes:

That the administration got misleading info. And his statement does more than imply.

Blame anyone you like. The fact remains no-one has shown that Bush lied. Perhaps he did but there is no proof of that.

Right. So if a family member or friend lies to you and you pass on that info.... that makes you a liar?  :lol:

Do you even think about this stuff before you click continue?

Lets face it Luvvie, if it were a democrat you would be jumping all over it with gay abandon!

Its fairly obvious that a)the administration is unbelievably stupid or b)they tried to mislead people and didnt get away with it.

I guess the republican ideal of "personal responsibility" doesnt extend to the president.

So now Bush personally gathered the info? He personally did the intelligence work?

Weak and getting weaker.

And I'm not a republican.

OK, lets say I'm working on an assembly line.

If the dude in the stage before me fucks his job up, and I let that product through my stage, arent I responsible as well? Even if I did my stage of the manufacturing process perfectly, I still let a botched product get through my position.

and what about the person at the end of the line. His job is to check the final product and make sure that no stages in that product's manufacture were botched. If he lets that botched product through, then all 3 of us are at fault.

and what about the CEO of that company? If he lets his workers get away with turning out botched products, dont you think that the board of directors would be justified in firing him?

I just think that the blame should be all inclusive here. Whoever had a hand in those mistakes should fucking share the guilt. Its not an either/or thing. Anyone that was involved is at fault. Its called: "personal responsibility".

Of course, I dont really think it was a 'mistake' in the first place, but thats another matter entirely.

You know Luv, you're right. I am wrong. Powell didn't say that the Bush adminstration lied in that article, but that they had been lied to. I read it wrong.

However, I still think Bush deserves a big part of the blame. The buck stops at Bush.

I personally doubt that Bush was overly concerned with the truth of reports of WMDs in Iraq - he wanted to invade, and they gave him the reason he needed.

Lousy analogy.

Only if you know there is a problem are you in the wrong. Let's pick a product. A car. You may be working on the left side and the problem is on the right side. You have no way of knowing. Is it still your responsibility?


Quote:

and what about the person at the end of the line. His job is to check the final product and make sure that no stages in that product's manufacture were botched. If he lets that botched product through, then all 3 of us are at fault.



In many cases more than one inspector is used. If one makes a mistake but the others do not, are all still to blame?


Quote:

and what about the CEO of that company? If he lets his workers get away with turning out botched products, dont you think that the board of directors would be justified in firing him?



Only if he repeatedly does so.


Quote:

Its not an either/or thing.



It most certainly can be. If you're washing dishes and the person drying drops one, how is that in any way your fault?


Quote:

Anyone that was involved is at fault.



Not always. It can take dozens of people to build a house. If ONE of those people puts in the wrong size door is everyone who worked on that house to blame? How can you blame the plumber because the door is wrong? How do you blame the contractor if the print is wrong?


Keep trying. Or, merely admit the article does not say or imply that Bush lied.

Edit: spelling and added the word "drying".

I dunno....'deliberately' misleading implies knowledge of truth while parroting falsehoods. If bush was 'deliberately' mislead by his information sources in government, why is noone facing consequences?!
