<p>Typo above alert: Glenn Greenwald (my apologies)</p>

<p>carlmom, no offense, but posters on the left seem to be the ones picking and chosing among the facts and reasoning primarily from the principle that Bush lied regardless of their inability to actually show he did.</p>

<p>And if you’re really saying what you quoted is happening here:

</p>

<p>You should be ashamed of yourself for more than a typo.</p>

<p>anyone watch the program on CNN last night…well, it was pretty eye popping, all about the WMD “timeline” </p>

<p>facts all around</p>

<p>Strick 11: You’re right. I am a ashamed of myself for not doing more to stop our pre-emptive war on Iraq; ashamed that I do not yet have solar panels on my home or own a hydrid car; ashamed that I do not do more to help the poor and afflicted…but I will never be ashamed for being a student of history and knowing that those who aren’t are, of course, condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past.</p>

<p>lBush, May 29, 2003: We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They’re illegal. They’re against the United Nations resolutions, and we’ve so far discovered two. And we’ll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven’t found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they’re wrong, we found them. (May 23, 2003–a month afte he declared victory.)</p>

<p>but hey, whatever</p>

<p>carlmom,</p>

<p>Actually, a hybrid car may not be a great investment quite yet. The market isn’t “mature,” and arguably the environmental damage of the disposal of the batteries may be more severe than the marginal increase in fuel efficiency.</p>

<p>We own two hybrids. Both work great. The larger one gets about 48 mpg and the smaller one gets about 51 mpg. Since most people I know get about half that, I think that’s more than a marginal increase in efficiency. And it solves one huge paranoia of mine. After one of our kids, when he was about 3, got into the garage and turned on the car (which I discovered when I got out of the shower and found my H napping and son missing - that was an ugly scene!), I have been bothered by the fear of it happening with another little child. Now it can’t ever happen, since the motor doesn’t even kick in until the car is out of the driveway !</p>
