Believe it or not, some liberals are STILL claiming that 'Bush lied', and 'Bush faked intelligence reports..',, yada yada yada....
This is a question for the ones who still think that.
How do you explain these quotes and time frame of the quotes:
****1. "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seing and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.
**** kennedy has known for YEARS, that would be before Bush was in office.
****2 "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.
****This was before Bush was in office, and a year after Clinton Bombed Iraq.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.
****over the course of 11 years (self explanatory)

wow, that is one heck of a conspiracy theory, that everyone knew but us.
And for the record, we are not running out of oil, we just can't drill or refine it thanks to the liberal policies.

We have never sold WMDs or its' technology, so the ones Saddam had were not from America.
Iraq's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction was not captured by US forces who heroically brought down Saddam Hussein's regime three years ago this week. It vanished before they arrived.
Israeli intelligence reported before the US-led invasion that starting in late summer 2002 Saddam's WMD arsenal was shipped by truck convoy to Syria. Recently, documents seized from Iraq after the fall of the regime were released to the public. Those documents revealed that under the direct command of former Russian prime minister and KGB boss Yevgeny Primakov, Russian Spetnaz forces oversaw the transfer of Iraq's WMD to Syria ahead of the US-led invasion. These reports have been corroborated by Saddam's Air Vice Marshall General Georges Sada.
So rather than being destroyed or secured, Saddam's WMD arsenal was simply moved from one rogue regime with intimate ties to terror organizations to another rogue regime with intimate ties to terror organizations.
Of course, American Media will NOT report this, it will prove Bush right, and then they would look stupid.

When News Lies
WHEN NEWS LIES
Media Complicity and The Iraq War
By Danny Schechter, The News Dissector
A new book from Danny Schechter offers an up to date indictment of the role media played in promoting and misreporting the war on Iraq. It is an analysis of how and why the media got it wrong that pinpoints the failures of journalism and the collusion of media companies with the Bush Administration. The author of EMBEDDED: Weapons of Mass Deception (Prometheus 2003), an account of the TV coverage of the US invasion, returns with a more comprehensive, updated and insider look at the media complicity that Schechter argues "made the war possible."
"Most of the anti-war movement focused on the crimes of the Bush Administration ignoring the mainstream media, its far more effective accomplice," says former network producer Danny Schechter (ABC, CNN). "The government orchestrated the war while the media marketed it. You couldn't have one without the other."
WHEN NEWS LIES includes the feature -length DVD of the prize-winning film WMD (Weapons of Mass Deception). The book will also include the complete script as well as a discussion of the challenges of exposing media with media with a documentary. It chronicles the media war fought alongside the military campaign and the struggle to stand up for truth.

One more time ....
Kevin Phillips devised the Southern Strategy to bring the southern conservatives into the Nixon camp.
Kevin Phillips is also the author of American Theocracy.
In American Theocracy it states that Saddam was about to cut a deal with the French, Germans, and China to bypass the US when the sanctions were lifted.
He further explains that the British and the French invaded the region for oil just after WWI.
He shows the direct coalition between the Invasion of Iraq and the securing of an undeveloped oil reserve in Iraq.
The WMD story was a ruse. It was there before Bush came into office. It was there because it was good propaganda for Iraq. It kept Iran at bay.
The French knew this. The Germans knew this. The Russians knew this. The English people knew it at well. That is why Blair does not have the support for the war which you are giving Bush. If Bush did not know that the WMD story was propaganda it is only because he did not want to know it.
In August of 2004 Bush, and Rummy, stated on the record that there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. If that is the case, and the WMD story was propaganda, then all that is left is an oil grab. Oil is a strategic resource on which we depend. It is worth noting that the US hit peek oil in 1970 in our fields. We are running out.

Visit the website for the Project for a New American Century, the neoconservative think-tank that many in the Bush cabinet and Bush's brother Jeb are affiliated with, and you will see that their plans for invading Iraq predated 9/11. Intelligence about WMD and about just about everything else in Iraq was very poor. By applying pressure to the CIA the Bush administration was able to get enough ammunition (which later turned out to be very weak or totally false) to make their case for invasion to the UN Security Council and Congress. This probably represents the biggest snow-job in history. Fortunately, more Americans everyday are waking up to this fact. And, sycophants like you who go around making ridiculous statements to support your fawning support for the Bush regime are actually doing a lot to help make people aware of this problem. So, THANKS! xD

well, let's see. to your pea brain. Sadam HAD wmd because we sold them to him before Bush was president, ergo Madeline Albright's statement, Kennedy's, etc. But, Bush knew that those were gone by the time he started beating his little tom-tom because Sadam had used all of them on his own people. (granted, Sadam is a sick bastid) Bush and family had been close buds with Sadam before Sadam threatened "daddy" and Rumsfield had his nose in there too. They knew Sadam didn't have what he was claiming, they knew he was just shooting off at the mouth. UN sanctions usually don't work on anyone. For some odd reason, no one takes them seriously. (scratching head and wondering why). Bush just wanted Sadam out of the way because he threatened his dad and this was a good opportunity to do something about it. There, does that answer your idiotic question?

But we really want to believe it's all George Bush's fault. He's such an easy target with his stumbling words, and ballsy moves. I guess he doesn't care if he isn't very popular with the media, and the movie stars, he just keeps on being who he is in spite of them. Can you believe it?

Your question is remarkable and your quotes play no role in refuting the truth.
It does not matter how many times you say that black is white...it does not make it true. It may be your opinion that black is white, but that does not change the fact of the matter. Black is black...like W's soul and his legions'.

Get ready for some tantrums from liberals. They will not be able to handle it. This site has more Saddam-apologists then in a Ba'ath Party reunion.
