posted a comment and then the main article gets deleted :(
Recently an article was posted, I can only confirm the bolded part of the title "Why did the US go to War?? A challenge to all liberals." (i have a screenshot of the author's profile on politicalmachine.com that says the bold part)
Basically, it asked for any statement where Bush or any major guy under him ever said Sadaam, 911, and al Queda were linked. After a few false starts, someone else posted a smoking gun, the letter Bush sent to Congress as part of the case for war.
(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
After this was posted, the original article author must have misread it because he said something like (going from memory), "it says 'aided the terrorist' so it doesn't count because the link is not direct and is semantics."
I made a comment pointing out how it actually said, "aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001." Which satisfied the original requirement that shows Bush making the link. And now the article is missing. I just wanted to say I thought it was in poor taste to "host" a challenge and then make it disapppear. If I am wrong about the article being missing, then I apologize and would like a link to it please. But the article is simply not there. I checked the forums, the recent article list on joeuser.com, and didn't find it. I got the screenshot from politicalmachine.com, which still had the article listed among "Blogs Posted" on his profile. I guess the list doesn't update the same time joeuser's does. When I clicked the link it sent me to a page where it said the article does not exist. The article ID number seemed in the ballpark: as of now the latest article ID was 18700 something, the one I tried was AID=18553.
I don't know if I am being a jerk calling attention to this, but I want to have some sort of record that a challenge was posted and the challenge was met.
