Answer 1

Yes and no. I fell he believed they were there, and I think he had intel reports to support that idea.

That is part of the military people don't get. It isn't the man in charge collecting data, it is his people. He makes decisions based on what his people say. So no, I feel he had the material to back it up. But technically yes, since what he said was there was not found in great quantities.

Same as the Dems in the link you provided, they were given info that turned out to not be accurate (as far as we know). They lied the same way. But it's the guy in charge who almost always takes the heat.

Answer 2

Partial Lie, Partial Truth, No he didnt lie about Iraq having WMD's but when is the question in the early 80's when his pops gave Iraq that crap and good old Donald Rumsfeld was there shaking Saddam's hands. yes that's when.

Ok so here is the LIE part. No. get it thru your thick brainwashed skulls people Iraq did not have anymore WMD's at that time or else be sure he would have used it against american ground forces. duh.

Degraded chemical dont mean anything, go to your local hospital or even yet these university and you and find the same type of dangerous chems.

they werent weapons grade. anyone in the military can and will tell you the difference.
I see people talk about it being moved to othere countries even if that were true all the USA has done is foster even more hatered from once sympathic arabs meanwhile north korea was telling bush hey we got nukes *****. Nowyou tell me what is more important. But I guess violating the consitution and trashing our civil liberties to slowly bring in a new form of government poilicies look at the people he has appointed for certain legal positions, we are in trouble people.

Plus WHAT THE HELL DID WMD'S HAVE TO DO WITH SEPTEMBER 11TH.???

Help me with the freakin connection.

Answer 3

Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."
- Dick Cheney
August 26, 2002
"We know for a fact that there are weapons there."
- Ari Fleischer
January 9, 2003
Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.
- George W. Bush
March 17, 2003 In the Bush administration "the negation of truth is so systematic. Dishonest accounting, willful scientific illiteracy, bowdlerized federal fact sheets, payola paid to putative journalists, 'news' networks run by right-wing apparatchiks, think tanks devoted to propaganda rather than thought, the purging of intelligence gatherers and experts throughout the bureaucracy whose findings might refute the party line -- this is the machinery of mendacity...The point here is not the hypocrisy involved, though that is egregious. The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary. No wonder the Bush administration feels no compunction to honor the truth or seek it; it conceives truth as a tactic, valuable only insofar as it is useful against one's enemies.

Answer 4

First off you need to understand what WMD's are you referring to? Nuclear, chemical or other. We did find weapons that Saddam was supposed to have destroyed after the first Gulf War. Now if you say, "well those we degraded weapons". Let's go get a few of them and bring them to your home and open the container with the chemical in them and have them in your sealed home and see how long you could live. Not really a pleasant picture in my mind of see you dying a painful death. I hope that answers your question.

And yes, the President did have some bad intelligence on the weapons also.

Just remember that a loaded gun can and will kill you if placed into the wrong hands. Any loaded weapon detonated could do the same thing

Answer 5

Yes ,he did...Iraq did comply with the mandates of the United Nations and allow UN inspectors to come to Iraq and dismantle any kind of WMD they find...At a week after they left(if i remember corectly),saying that Iraq has no WMD,US attacked Iraq('cos they have WMD)...

Answer 6

Does anyone really doubt that?
The big problem with top people like presidents is that they go into everything with heavy preconceptions.
They may even put committees together to study things, but if the recommendations come out against their preconceptions, they'll just junk the data and go ahead anyway. An open mind seems to be a rare exception, anywhere.
And that presupposes that there is a mind present, which in the present instance has to be seriously doubted.

Answer 7

No he did not. 500 shells were found in Iraq and independent confirmation that 50 trucks carring WMD were moved to Syria

Answer 8

Probably not knowingly. He, like Hill, probably got bad information from the CIA. The originally argument for going to war was not whether Iraq had a programme for nuclear bombs, but how to go about stopping them. France and Germany disagreed with the US and UK. Everyone assumed Iraq was trying to get the "Bomb."

Answer 9

I bet if you give a bunch of 4th grade kids a text book with doctored up facts, they'll all quote from it too. Are they lying, or are you?

They backed the president and they got hosed. The information they were given was blatantly false. That is why none of them want to make the same mistake anymore.

Answer 10

no idea I think he was misinformed by the intelligence on this since there was no WMD's ever found in Iraq
