personally i'd rather support somebody who can admit mistakes rather than somebody who lies, and tries to cover them up. im not accusing anyone im particular, just using the whole "flip-flopper" argument....

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the eve of Iraq's historic election, President Bush took responsibility Wednesday for "wrong" intelligence that led to the war, but he said removing Saddam Hussein was still necessary.

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Mr Bush said. "As president, I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq."

You're right, there was A LOT more involved, as you've still conveniently forgot to mention. A friendly word of advice: drop it.

But of course, you conveniently left out the fact that you WERE issued a warning to knock it off after using that term, and it was AFTER you decided to act like a little kid and stomp your feet because you didn't get your way that you were issued the ban.

If you're going to complain on the open board, at least tell the WHOLE story. Otherwise your credibilty gets flushed right down the toilet.

Pssssssst. I infracted you for a personal attack on another member. I didn't temp ban you, but to be perfect honest here - if another Mod hadn't "arrived there first" , I would have. The infract I gave you was your warning - it was your own decision to not let it drop and carry it one step farther.

P.S. I don't appreciate being told to "jerk it" as your smiley suggests for simply doing my job. You broke the very simple rules we have around here and you have no one to blame but yourself. If you haven't read the board COC, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with it. Now let's drop this and move on.

I'm happy the Bush at least is at least taking responsibility for his actions.
