As a moderate I am not a Bush basher but facts are facts.

Light house- yellow cake was never found, this was some of the discredited information from the Rockingham Project (British Intel task force). The yellow cake rumors came from the Liberian embassy which was also discredited by the US ambassador whose wife was later outted as CIA...or don't you remember that?

Answer 1

Both Dem's. & Repub's. are extreemly dishonest and corruped. That is why we need an Independant to run and win the next election.

It would happen to the Inde's. also, but we would be OK for about six or eight years. Maybe by then the Repub's. or the Demmies would get there act togeather.

Answer 2

Know the facts: Yellow cake uranium was found. Sarin gas has been found. Mustard gas has been found. The reason Saddam did not comply with UN resolutions was that the French, Germans, and the very corrupt UN had assured Saddam that they could hold the USA at bay through further resolutions. That's the reason the French and Germans do not assist the coalition in Iraq. The full genius of George Bush has not been realized, but will be known if a Democrat president and congress is elected, and no troops are withdrawn from Iraq. Unfortunately, a war is being waged between the jihaddists and the free world. Iraq, and Afghanistan are the current battlefields, but more countries will fall, and the war will expand.

Answer 3

Well if you ever believed that Saddam threatened your life then you need your head examining, amazingly 1/5 of all Americans still believe that Sadam was in some way responsible for the 911 bombings. Tariq Ali the British intellectual made an extremely logical point, if Iraq had wmd's the U.S would not have invaded Iraq, this is why the U.S and British are so frightened of North Korea. It's also relevant to point out that there is only one weapon of mass destruction, the nuclear device, biological and chem weapons do not fit into this category as suggested by Blair and Bush.

The war on Terror is the ultimate pretext for the pursuit of very specific business interests belonging to the new right, and a reflection of a neo-realist world view of international politics, an ideology logged in the thinking of a generation raised with the backdrop of the cold war. The lies about our national and personal security came straight out of Edward Bernais on "the manufacturing of consent", the bible of the new right.

We are talking here about the same political creed and even same individuals whom gave Saddam his power in the first instance, security was never their concern as neither was the freedom of Iraqi citizens, you have to ask yourself why invade Iraq? You have to conclude that it's because of the people who are the power behind the puppet (bush), people that have a vested interest in the energy markets and the success of Iraqi oil drilling, this was self interested and financially motivated and now look at the carnage.

This proves that we live in a spectator democracy, one in which we are all to atomized, disenfranchised and misinformed to a high degree. To the extent that we allow such evils occur in our name and at our financial expense. The American and British tax payer has funded the murder of Iraqi women and children, we as citizens have a global responsibility to ensure that our governments do not behave in this way.

Answer 4

It does not make sense that so many people could have had it wrong right? That's because it was all lies. What do you need to go to war. You need public support. How do you get public support. Create an enemy. These men running our country are sick and twisted in the desire to take control once and for all of the whole world. I think they even rub the truth in our faces sometime just to see what they can get away with. Do you remember what they where calling the Iraq War before the Iraq War. They called it (O peration) (I raqi) (L iberation)
O I L
Just a little fun fact to play with. It might mean nothing but I think they like to rub stuff like that in our faces sometimes.

Answer 5

Why bother with this question, the media has hashed it to death.

The Democrats(if you care to check) were crying the same WMD in Iraq dialogue as Bush. They all had the same intelligence reports. European leaders were spouting the same, except France(a lover of sheep and a trading partner with Iraq, France was loving those $$$$$).

Exactly what constitutes a WMD? Nerve gas warheads were found in Iraq, enough to kill thousands... Iraqi scientists said many weapons and weapons programs were removed to Syria.

Ask yourself, are facts really facts where most politicians are concerned? I would say NO.

Answer 6

Bush knew! He knew it all!! Why do you think he skirted the UN.

A war based on one liars testimony, forged documents.

Yep, if I an president I am sure going to commit our troops to die and run up a 1/2 Trillion dollar debt that isn't even included in Bush's deficit. Some one is getting rich!

I don't understand why we attacked Iraq anyway, His Navy wasn't sitting off out coast, or Air force flying overhead.

Osama bin Laden was not in Iraq. They didn't even get along.

And I loved it when Colin Powell went to the UN and told them that terrorists were being trained in Iraq, when they were OUR forces in the areas Powell was claiming terrorist were training. Idiots!

Bush doesn't care about bin Laden. Hell, they are old friends!

Answer 7

They recently found 500 weapons of mass destruction (sarin & mustard gas)...

General Sadar's (from Iraq) book says truck after truck after truck smuggled WMD's out of Iraq to Syria before the US invasion...

Still think Bush lied? Then why did Clinton say Sadam was a threat in the 90's?

Liberty Over Liberalism!

Answer 8

Liberals have never said we didn't think sadamn was a threat. And the WMDs they "found" have been there since the early 90's. The WMDs that were used to make a case for war by colin powell were not found. The pentagon released this in a statement the day after fox and santorumn reported it.

Answer 9

Statement by "unclenal" is largely verified by a recent article in "Investors Business Daily" newspaper, which reports that 500 nerve gas, mustard gas, and sarin gas artillery shells were found in Iraq. Now Hezbollah warns the Israelis of a "surpise" which a writer in IBD believes is more of these shells which were smuggled out of Iraq into Syria.

Answer 10

In a letter to his law partner, William H. Herndon, Abraham Lincoln disagrees with Herndon’s argument for preemptive war. “Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion ... and you allow him to make war at pleasure. ... The provision of the Constitution giving the war making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons: kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our convention understood to be the most oppressive of all kingly oppressions, and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have always stood

I fully agree with you. Facts are facts. Million dollar question is, is American public ready to rectify the wrong?
