So?
Not that it matters, but Woods isn't 'black' himself.

And then Tiger Woods said he wasn't actually "black" at all -- he was
"Cablinasian." 

Woods made his remarks on "Oprah," when he was asked if it bothered
him to be called an African-American. "It does," he said. "Growing up,
I came up with this name: I'm a 'Cablinasian.'" As in
Caucasian-black-Indian-Asian. Woods has a black father (or to be
precise, if I am interpreting Woods' reported ancestry correctly, a
half-black, one-quarter American Indian, one-quarter white father) and
a Thai mother (or, with the same caveat, a half-Thai, half-Chinese
mother). "I'm just who I am," Woods told Oprah Winfrey, "whoever you
see in front of you." 

But just "who I am" remained contested ground. According to Time
magazine, Woods' coming out as a Cablinasian caused "a mini-racial
firestorm ... Woods' remarks infuriated many African Americans who ...
see him as a traitor ... Some blacks saw Woods' assertion of a
multiracial identity as a sellout that could touch off an epidemic of
'passing.'" Light-skinned Colin Powell, responding to Woods' comments,
"In America, which I love from the depths of my heart and soul, when
you look like me, you're black."

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and 
chemical weapons throughout his country." 
 -Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein 
has, 
and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and 
storage 
of weapons of mass destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. 
He 
is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a 
particularly 
grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has 
continued 
deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of 
Saddam Hussein 
with weapons of mass destruction is real ... 
  -Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence
reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his
chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile
delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also
given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists,
including Al Qaeda members..."
---- Hillary Clinton, Oct 10, 2002

"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent.  Since when have 
terrorists and 
tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? 
If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words and 
all recriminations
would come too late."
  -President George W. Bush 
   January 28, 2003
   (Another liberal lie exposed.)

"Americans traveling to England always observe more similarities 
to our country than differences. I've been here only a short 
time, but I've noticed that the tradition of free speech -- 
exercised with enthusiasm -- (laughter) -- is alive and well 
here in London. We have that at home, too. They now have that 
right in Baghdad, as well."

-President George W. Bush
