word games? bullshit. words have meaning. THERE IS NO DOUBT means something entirely different than I HAVE NO DOUBT. When the President tells us about Saddam's WMD's, he has, at his disposal, a wealth of intelligence about that topic gathered from a wide variety of sources, and he has, at his disposal, detailed analysis of that intelligence. If, after reading all of that, he pats the pile of intelligence documents and says, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN HERE... that's a fucking lie. I could give a rat's ass whether or not HE did or did not believe that Saddam had WMD's... clearly he did... but that is not what he said. He lied. Gore lied. There WAS doubt. They both knew of the existence of that doubt, but they both chose to tell us there was none. The only difference being, of course, that Gore lied after he left office and was a private citizen. Bush lied while CinC and used that lie to lead us into an unnecessary war.
Words have meanings, unless, of course, you're bravo and you get caught and then, all of a sudden, words suddenly take on colloquial idiomatic meanings where they mean something different than what they actually do. THERE IS NO DOUBT is a statement of fact. period. I HAVE NO DOUBT is a statement of opinion. period.
"THERE IS NO DOUBT means something entirely different than I HAVE NO DOUBT"........wrong...it means exactly the same thing to the speaker.
"THERE IS NO DOUBT IN HERE.".....he didn't 'in here'......thats your problem, you have to fudge the quotes to make your lies work for you.....
"believe that Saddam had WMD's... clearly he did... but that is not what he said."......thats exactly what he said, why?, because he believed it....just like Bill Clinton and
a host of other Democrats.....they all believed it.....being wrong is not lying, being wrong is being wrong.
The only lies in this post are yours.....
Here is your previous analogy...
and again, you are wrong. If I say, right now, THERE IS NO DOUBT that the Red Sox will win the AL East, that is a lie, because, there IS, in fact, doubt. It is a completely different statement if I were to say, right now, I HAVE NO DOUBT that the Red Sox will win the AL East. THAT is NOT a lie, because I am clearly stating my belief and NOT stating a matter of fact. Team Bush repeatedly said, THERE IS NO DOUBT that Saddam has stockpiles of WMD's. That was a lie, because there WAS doubt... varying degrees of doubt throughout the intelligence community, and Team Bush was well aware that doubt existed. Your continued refusal to acknowledge that lie is quite pathetic...
" If I say, right now, THERE IS NO DOUBT that the Red Sox will win the AL East, that is a lie, because, there IS, in fact, doubt."
If you do say that the Red Sox will win, that is not a lie if you truly believe that...
and to continue.....you say, "there IS, in fact, doubt".....of course if YOU believe there is doubt, then it is a lie....obviously if you have doubt and say the opposite
you're lying.
Because your neighbor says there is doubt is irrelevant, he isn't making the claim, who gives a shit what he believes....
Its plain English, and you can't understand your own words ?
"Team Bush repeatedly said, THERE IS NO DOUBT that Saddam has stockpiles of WMD's. That was a lie, because there WAS doubt"
TEAM CLINTON said the same thing for 10 years, were they all lying for 10 years ?...thats all they talked about, Saddam and WMD.
Who the hell are you to say, without doubt, and with such certainly, that 'team Bush' thought there was any doubt....just about the entire world thought he had WMD....
dozens of resolutions from the UN all passed UNANIMOUSLY... the sanctions that killed a million people.....don't that tell you anything ?
Is your BDS that acute that you've lost all reason to think.
