"Iraq uranium flap: Much ado about nothing?"
This is the MSNBC Question of the Day. Minimizing the issue by calling it a "flap" is an indication of why this story is going to go away. Email the bozos, in comment area at voting link below, to comment on their slanted question. :spank:

4. Thanks,
I e mailed them....what a way to minimize the deaths of our troops and the 6,000 Iraqi's by calling it a FLAP. Did Karl Rove write this question?

6. I also asked whether Rove wrote the question
It took me so long to try to figure out how to post a link that I didn't see this thread at first. Sorry about the dupe.

3. I emailed them
Didn't copy it, but something along the lines of "To be blunt, this poll is pathetic. If the President lied to the American people during his State of the Union address so he could start a war in which over 250 American soldiers have died so far, I'd like to think you wouldn't dismiss is as a 'flap.' Yet that's exactly what you've done in this poll. Try to do better next time."

Feel free to be more rude than I was :)

10. I cut them a new one too.
Mentioned aluminum tubes, unmanned drones,tons of sarin gas...am NOT going to watch THAT CHANNEL to see if they read my e-mail or to see the others.

They're not worth my time.I think better of myself than that.

5. Hummm
I certainly don't remember them treating the "I did not have sex with that woman..." with such glibness. I e-mailed them too and told them so.

9. my email
Here's a question that you should be asking.

"Which is more dangerous to the average Amercian?: A president who lies about sex, or one who lies about why we went to war?"



and then after I submitted it, what ad so I get at the bottom? An ad for some book Hitchens trashing the Clintons of course!:

"No One Left To Lie To: The Values of the Worst … - Christo Hitchens
No One Left To Lie To: The Values of the Worst Family
Amazon.com"

12. Nays have it (60/40)
My comment:
It's obvious that "sex with that woman" is more important to you that a lie in SOTU for starting a war that killed hundreds of US soldiers (and thousands of Iraquis). "Flap"? Well, a deadly one at that. War& peace - a joking matter to you? Nice try though.

16. 61 - 39, I emailed too
What an outrageous question to ask, the entire nuclear weapons claim was based on acquiring fissile material which is where all their mushroom clouds and terrorists getting nuclear weapons statements came from. How can it be trivial?

Everyone needs to go vote on this ridiculous poll - and more importantly, send MSNBC an email.
