Ratch's evidence criterion revisited.

HAY RATCH !!!!

1. Bush lied to start a war.
2. Young Americans are dying in Iraq for no reason.
3. The US economy is on its knees funding two wars that are lost.
4. The security of the US has been compromised by its level of debt.

Sorry to be slow coming back but I did not find you post in the mess
of other posts.

Your following lines of argument are why I take no notice of you and
only address your criterion of evidence.

Statement by G.W. Bush from above link.

"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt
that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most
lethal weapons ever devised. This regime has already used weapons of
mass destruction against Iraq's neighbors and against Iraq's people."

(1) The expression "leaves no doubt" leaves no doubt as to the intent
of the US president. He was deliberately lying as he has ruled out
being mistaken.

(2) The extression "some of the most lethal weapons ever devised"
leaves no doubt as to the intent of the US president. He was
deliberately lying as he has ruled out being mistaken.

(3) When Colin Powell made the statement "These are not assertions" to
the United Nations he excluded being mistaken. He was deliberately
lying as he has ruled out being mistaken.

In the face of the statements being directly provably false, to deny
that both Bush and Powell lied, you have to deny what they are
recorded as saying.

Invent yet another criterion of evidence that turns a lie into a
mistake for G. W. Bush but not for Idi Amin, Hitler, Stalin or even
poor old Saddam.
