Decoding Mr. Bush's Denials

Lol, you really don't read what I write.... I said 'WOULD' Bush as a question, not Bush did as a fact. Talk about childish.

Incorrect. You worded the question in rhetorical form, to be used as a statement in order to prove a point. You really didn't expect an answer, since the question itself doesn't require one.

I don't know why I bother sometimes. Then why did you give an answer that had nothing to do with the question if it didn't require one?

LOL - because it was my turn to speak.

So it's ok to tolerate mass murderers, tyrants and any unsavory folk if it benefits us?

Actually, yeah... but that isn't what I was talking about.

Would Bush turn a blind eye on Saddam longer had he given us some juicy info on North Korea or any other 'hot' country? Somehow that would make the atrocities Bush so vehemently spoke against and why Iraq needed to be freed from Saddam's grasp acceptable?

First of all, you're comments have nothing to do with the intelligence policies I was speaking of. You're actually addressing more hypothetical concepts associated with foreign policy.

So, in this situation, no, you wouldn't embrace Saddam just for "information" regarding North Korea. Saddam is obviously hostile towards our nation and seeks to do us harm. It would be against our short and long term interest to give him a pass.

However, ON TOPIC, you might pay a North Korean thug, criminal, pimp, or arms runner for information regarding North Korea.

I really do not get you righties sometimes..............

There's a lot you don't understand. Perhaps you should learn a little about foreign policy. Henry Kissinger wrote an excellent book on the subject. Not only is it very educational, it's a really good read as well.
