Except I'm not ignoring anything. My statements are based on actual statements from officials in the administration, declassified documents and info from FOIA requests. Do you have proof that Paul O'Neill was lying? Or can you at all provide evidence to dispute my second length based on declassified documents and FOIA requests? All you seem to have is ad homs.

LOL it was contingency planning? Are you serious? The only one engaging in revisionism is you.

But didn't you read below? I supposedly just manufactured all of this. I'm sure that idiot probably still believes that Iraq had WMDs.

And if you want to deny the USA today story read this. They were planning the Iraq invasion as early as January 2001.

Nothing revisionist about it. From here:

This is a 7 year old story.

Because constructing false dilemmas is more fun.

And for anyone who is still ignorant of this fact this has a great story about it.

Where did I ever claim I was being funny?

9/11 happened because Dubya's administration ignored the intelligence they were given not because no one knew about it. They were too concerned about invading Iraq to avenge his daddy to care about the warnings.

You do realize they were joking and being sarcastic...

Oh wait, this is Slashdot so you're likely a social retard with no sense of humor.

And Intel.

Then get off your fat ass and do something rather than expecting others to do all the work.

What a moronic strawman. Just because you might be able to point to some x percent that might have been higher paying does not diminish his point which is that many if not a majority or more of them are lower paying.

For example, while not technically related to technology replaced jobs, here is a great example of mid-wage jobs from before the 2008 recession have been overwhelmingly replaced with low-wage jobs. Only 1/3 of all the mid-wage jobs were replaced by something of equal value whereas the low-wage jobs increased 300%.

What about the comet cursors?
