Bill Clinton Bombed Iraq in 98 Attempting to destroy WMD's. We know now he didn't have WMD's. Why did Bill Clinton Lie about Iraq's WMD's.

Are you stupid?

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.

If the vast majority of the U.S. indeed believes they lied, does it take Sherlock Holmes to make a case for treason, murder, torture, illegal and immoral war crimes against a sovereign nation, stealing and hiding at least 9 BILLION DOLLARS of unaccounted money that has supposedly gone to the war effort, criminal and immoral profiteering by Halliburton and other companies close to the Bush Crime Family??! Why the fluck are we dragging our toes on this one, folks?! Are we going to continue to be as blind as the Germans were when Hitler was in power??!! What's it going to take for us to stand up to the madman and his madness??!!

ABC has decided to join ranks with the Faux News and "create" history. Are politics so important to America that we sacrifice the truth? ( I was opposed to the Reagan "created history" movie, too. So, stand down. My rabid right column friends.

Personally, I'm not going to partake in any of the 9/11 festivities the RNC has planned. I don't see anything worth partying about.

There is so much childish name calling and blaming by the political parties on this site, you'd think some people would rather this be a communist country with ONE party. Where are the moderate voices of reason from both sides?? Are there any people out there that are capable of working together inspite of political differences??? Let me know what you think.

Expropriationism is the concept that I may take from others to help the needy, giving nothing of my own but this is in contradiction to helping the needy in that I should give of my own to help the needy, taking from no one. Follow the logical progression in this example, which the liberal politicians follow on a daily basis:
1. Late one night while walking along, a man draws a knife and demands my money for drugs.
2. Now instead of demanding my money for drugs, he demands it to help his sick mother.
3. Now instead of being alone, he is with the doctor who acts as bagman.
4. Now instead of drawing a knife, he produces a law officer who says I must do as the man says.
5. Then instead of meeting me on the street, he mails me his demand as an official agent of the government.

If the first example is theft how can anyone believe the other four are not theft. Taking is taking regardless of the cause.

Ours is the age of barbarians with microchips, of zealots who cannily exploit the civilized world's rules in their attempts to destroy it. 9/11 did not merely mark the end of yet another form of American innocence. It brought the belief that progress is irreversible and that men instinctively crave enlightenment.

ABC moring news show thing, they had the editor of Nation magizine on. They were talking about the 9/11 abc movie. She was asked "what would you like to see?" She said I would love to see a movie based on how Bush failed us played over and over again" How mature. And then she was talking about how Bush took a minimal threat and took it into a war. Some republican dude said that they attacked us first. AND THEN SHE SAID, AND I QUOTE, EXACT WORDS!!!! "They were a minimal threat." ?????? How does a minimal threat kill 3000+ people? How does a minimal threat kill people in Spain and London? I swear, I don't know how these people mind's work.
