Wmd's are found in Iraq, Bush was correct and Liberals were wrong?

Question

Apologies are forthcoming. I will hold my breath.

One answer says liberals are all wrong, I agree, with u truthseeker. glad to see honesty.

Answer 1

Well Sadam did have WMDs and we all (Clinton even) knew it. But our real reason for being in Iraq is to strategically get the jump on Iran. Afghanistan is on one side of Iran and Iraq is on the other. Iran is backed by China. You can see the cards stacking up here on the way to WWIII.

Answer 2

The WMDs that were found in Iraq were from BEFORE the first Gulf War. In fact those weapons were sold to Sadaam by DONALD RUMSFELD to fight the Iranians back in 1984. The first Gulf War was in 1991. There have been reports after reports that discuss the existence of those OLD DILAPIDATED WMDs that Rummy sold Sadaam.

"Santorum Claims ‘Hundreds of WMDs’ Found in Iraq
Senator Rick Santorum held a press conference yesterday to announce that hundreds of weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, a claim that Fox News has since splashed across the top of its website. What Santorum doesn’t mention—and what Fox buries at the bottom of the article—is that the document cited by Santorum refers to non-functioning pre-1991 chemical weapons that had already been dismissed by the White House’s own Iraq Survey Group. A Defense Department official has responded to Santorum’s claims, saying the weapons “are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war.” Neither Santorum nor Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who appeared with him, could offer an explanation for why the Bush administration would sit on evidence that could help justify the 2003 invasion"

From Hannity & Colmes:

"COLMES: Congressman, Senator, it’s Alan Colmes. Senator, the Iraq Survey Group — let me go to the Duelfer Report — says that Iraq did not have the weapons our intelligence believed were there. And Jim Angle reported this for Fox News quotes a defense official who says these were pre-1991 weapons that could not have been fired as designed because they already been degraded. And the official went on to say these are not the WMD’s this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had and not the WMD’s for which this country went to war. So the chest beating at this Republicans are doing tonight thinking this is a justification is not confirmed by the defense department. "

Answer 3

Well, since the official white house line is now that there are no WMDs in Iraq, that would make Bush wrong if they found them. Although they haven't. If you mean those spent chemical shells they found buried as remnants of the Iran/Iraq war then you are not correct for many reasons. First, we knew about those already and they were totally unusable except to cause minor skin irritation. Second, those are not the WMDs that Bush claimed Iraq had and were not the reason we went to war.

Answer 4

Even the administration admits that these were not even close to the WMDs that were supposedly in the country.

One senior Defense Department official told Fox News the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions.

“This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991,” the official said, adding the munitions “are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war.”

Answer 5

Read Robert Fisk's "The Great War for Civilization:The Conquest of the Middle East" Saddam had WMDs but prior to our invasion, they were sent across the frontier into Syria or Iran.A few were found but not the big caches that served as an excuse for this war.Bush was correct and so were the liberals to apoint.Neither will ever apologize.

Answer 6

The WMD's Sen. Santorum was talking about where reported by the Iraqi Survey Group in their final report on Oct. 2004. They were old, degraded shells from the Iraq/Iran War that had been buried and forgot about. As for the weapons going to Syria...bull!
Rumsfeld himself said that he knew where the WMD's were. He said( I'm paraphrasing) They are North, South, East, West of Baghdad, in Tikrit. He didn't say a word about Syria. And with out satellites, spy plane and drones, don't you think the military would of seen them if they were headed to Syria?

Answer 7

Wrong...
It is common knowledge that, before bush Jr. decided to go ahead with the New World Order plan his father's staff drafted after the first gulf war, US intel. warned Bush Jr. that there was no credible evidence to support WMD's in Iraq! Yet, Bush Jr. and his staff(did I forget to mention that this staff is the same one his father had) lied to all of us about WMD's anyway!

When Cheney was confronted about these lies, he backed away like a school yard bully was picking on him... It's really funny!
Actually, it's really sick!

Answer 8

WMD's never found. Another bold faced lie by the bush administration. Follow the news from the beginning (both sides) and you will never find anyone (except them) that has said they found any level of WMD's that they portrayed to get us into this unwinnable war.

Answer 9

Liberals said Saddam had WMDs before Bush was even President but then magically acted like they never said it.

Answer 10

WMDs found show me..? hey the only WMD that were used in Iraq is Napalm ( used by the US ) in the recent Battle of Fallujah..

you can download the movie battle of fallujah and see by yourself instead of spreading false news..
