Opinion of President Bush?

Question

What is your opinion of President Bush now that Weapon of Mass Destruction have been found in Iraq (source: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200499,00.html) Has he been proven right and had a valid reason to go to Iraq or is he wrong for declaring war?

i never gave my opinion of bush so dont try to comment on that just tell me your opinion of bush

Answer 1

My opinion hasn't changed. And you really should take information from multiple news sources, bias makes a huge difference in how information is percieved.

I'm not saying CNN is better, I'm just saying you should read both of them, to get a better idea. News sites tend to only tell the part of the story that suits them.

Answer 2

It's meaningless, these were old forgotten and degraded weapons that were completely harmless according to chemical weapons experts.

<
A senior Defense Department official, however, made the following clarifications:

• These findings do not reflect a WMD capacity that was built up after 1991.
• These are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had.
• These are not the WMDs for which this country went to war.>>

That above quote is from YOUR VERY OWN (fixed) link seen here:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200601,00.html

and last time I checked the DoD isn't the liberal media.

<
They probably would have been intended for chemical attacks during the Iran-Iraq War, said David Kay, who headed the U.S. weapons-hunting team in Iraq from 2003 until early 2004.

He said experts on Iraq's chemical weapons are in "almost 100 percent agreement" that sarin nerve agent produced from the 1980s would no longer be dangerous.

"It is less toxic than most things that Americans have under their kitchen sink at this point," Kay said.>>

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/22/AR2006062201475.html

So in review:

-David Kay, former Bush appointed head of the WMD hunting organization the Iraq Survey Group, says this stuff is harmless
-Most experts on chemical munitions agree with him
-DoD downplayed this immediately and said they aren't the WMD we went to war for or thought Saddam had in 2003
-Sarin decays within weeks, this stuff was buried god knows where for over 25 years

Bush said Saddam had stockpiles of WMD and was producing more and moving towards nuclear weapons. Nothing found here is anything more than evidence of an outdated 1980s weapons program we already knew Saddam had.

Answer 3

They haven't found any WMD's , do you believe the first thing you hear , Why don't you check it out for yourself .
OMG Fox news is your source . They are so right wing that you never hear the truth about anything . Why don't you listen to the BBC to get a balanced report on that situation . My opinion has been the same for 6 years , I have no respect for him since he called for the invasion of Iraq . He had and has no reason . It was all lies to fool the American people .It worked didn't it .You believed it .

Answer 4

They took your page off.

If they were found after 3 1/2 years they were planted, but you ALWAYS THE LIE FOX NEWS must have pulled the story!

This wouldn't be the first time they claimed they were found!

Yes he was wrong!!

What don't you get??? Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. none of the terrorist was an Iraqi, they were arab (But we haven't gone after them) and their leader is on the loose and your leader could care less!!!


"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him... We haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
—Bush, answering a question about Osama bin Laden at a March 13, 2002 news conference.

Answer 5

That Sarin gas is completely harmless, its been degrading for years. You could probably release it at a stadium and nobody would ever notice.

Besides, it was only 500 canisters so far. Hardly constitutes a STOCKPILE.

And even though Saddam claimed to have destroyed them, he probably just misplaced them in many different hidden places.

Dont focus so much on WMD's in Iraq, it was only 1 of dozens of reasons in the Iraq war resolution that passed 77 - 23.

Answer 6

The son of a president? Complete failure in everything. Weapons of Mass Deception is another topic. Too sad to talk about this. After all that is done if there is a Bush-believer out there, I can't help him/her. You know, real believer is one who believe despite any facts and reasons. For those who are not Bush-believers, the best thing to do is to try impeach him. See www.impeachbush.org or similar sites.

Answer 7

Stop trying to distort the facts just to support your own cause-that's what Bush did to get us in this war in the first place. These so-called WMDs were ANCIENT and USELESS and were not at all the "ready-2-destroy-humanity" WMDs Bush lead us to believe. These weapons were completely unable to be used as an act of terrorism. WHY DON'T U STOP LYING TO YOURSELF AND GET A CLUE!!!

Answer 8

I certainly have published 3 question in my finished time on yahoo solutions a million approximately my hair . and the different 2 approximately Bush. basically asserting some thing that i've got self assurance an the two considered one of my questions have been bumped off no longer something that became into remotely incorrect. yet some human beings are not into freedom of speech in case you have not got self assurance what they suspect. i think of he's rubbish ! and that i think of he a thorough minded guy or woman that doesn't choose the warfare to stop. i've got self assurance that he's what led to all the mess that we are in.

Answer 9

The US military and the Pentagon said afterward that Rectum Santorum was an idiot. Funny how two organizations who would benefit by proving Iraq had WMDs claimed they don't exist.

Why haven't you signed up and gone to Iraq yourself if you're so convinced? Because you're so conniving?


Additional:

By private mail, "shoot em up D" claims to have been in the military, so maybe he's not a chickenhawk (although his claimed service is unproven).

Still though, "shoot em up D" didn't bother to address the point that the FAUX "news" piece has been discredited many times over. When one continues to purvey and propagate a lie, as "shoot em up D" has done, one tends to lose credibility.

And, of course, "shoot em up D" resorts to an insult, rather than addressing the issue.

Who is "stupid", as "shoot em up D" hurled at me? The person who lacks information (eg. me not knowing his military service), or the person who knowingly believes false information because it fits a pre-conceived notion?

Answer 10

We have weopons of mass destruction right here in the U.S., so why are we allowed, but noone else? We are not the almighty rulers of the world....I just think Bush is a moron, he should be sent back to grade school, and not let out until he can complete a full sentance without using UHHH!!!
