Will McNealy Take Sun Private?
krygny writes "There is speculation that with $7.5 billion in cash, and liquidation of other assets, Sun could leverage a buyback of all publicly traded shares of SUNW at between $5 and $5.50 per share. I suppose, that would relieve them of Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, which Scott McNealy never really liked. (Who does?) For anyone at Sun who survives the tumult, hopefully, there could also be a return to the former corporate culture."
If he's so dishonest as you leftwing lunatics would like us to believe, then go ahead and show us one single lie by GWB. Not just a misinformed comment, but a blatant lie.
Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Saddam has mobile weapons laboratories. He collaborates with al Qaeda, such as giving them nuclear materiel. He acquired tubes from Africa to use to enrich uranium.
Some people might argue that this is just him being misinformed. If you dig a little deeper, you will see that Dubya deliberately ignores intelligence he does not like and has an attiude of "this is what I want to hear: if you have to make shit up to tell it to me, just make sure I don't know about it." I am thoroughly disgusted with the behavior of Bush and his cronies (e.g. Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld). I hope to God that they destroy this country from the inside out so hopefully her citizens will wake up and realize the massive amounts of corruption and other bullshit going on. We need a new, peaceful revolution to bring fiscal and moral responsibility back to our government.
I suppose you think you let yourself off the hook with "not just a misinformed comment". It's hard to prove, in most cases, whether he really did know better and was deliberately lying, or didn't know better and said what he mistakenly believed. But ultimately, what does that matter? Is an ignorant president any better than a deceptive one? If anything, I think it's worse.
The list of false statements by this president, intentional or otherwise, is practically endless. Here are a few to get you started. (But I'm not vouching for that site; it's just an example, via Google.)
Of course his most notorious lie is the claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. But I think his worst lie was when he swore to protect and defend the Constitution.

That's the great thing about democracy: we have a revolution every four or so years, and nobody gets hurt.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Everyone else has done a nice job of pointing out how many "misinformed comment"s GWB's made. I'd just like to point out that, around the fourth or fifth time someone makes a seriously misinformed comment, and after being told how they're misinformed, they're probably just lying.
The benefit of the doubt only goes so far.
Other than the loser, but who cares about him anyway. (I'm serious. You lose a presidential race and your political career is OVER.)
"We" don't necessarily believe Clinton was truthful, he just didn't MAKE SHIT UP about WMD's. Most of us peaceniks didn't exactly care for Bill, but at least he had the skill to make the rest of the world not completely hate our guts as well.
Then there's the bit about being a tool for the most out-there flat-earther radical bible-thumping idealogical zealots, but that's more orthogonal to the iraq thing, as is this whole thing to the current topic about SUNW.
