If Bush "lied" about WMD in Iraq, have the Dems been doing it for a decade?

Question

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D,

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

Answer 1

I hope you don't expect a lot of responses to this one. I know that this claim was there long before President Bush was in office. I also know that President Clinton knew about Al-Qaeda. He could have had Bin Laden captured but didn't. You are right on they must have been doing so for a while. Amazing the defense mechanism that goes into overdrive.

Answer 2

Hey man both party's are full of Nazis bent on Global Domination for oil and profit and The New World Order so it doesn't matter which one you voted for.Kerry is a member of the Skull and Bones Club just like little Nazi George.Had George's relatives and his Daddy's Supreme Court Bum Buddies not fixed the last election then Gore or Kerry would be The Fuhrer instead of Monkey George.Wake up America it's time for the Revolution and the regaining of the rights and freedoms guaranteed in The Constitution.

Answer 3

Who cares what various democrats have said? The bottom line is that Saddam Hussein had no WMD when the US invaded Iraq on March 19, 2003. Bush has to take responsibility for those claims he made and for the war he started.

Answer 4

sure, but talk is cheap. what i really notice is... boy they were pretty intelligent not to take us into an unwinnable war. bush was not. he decided to go into iraq himself. clinton apparently thought it wasn't a very good idea.

here's my question: how did you let your standards become so low? it is clear to me that as long as you can pretend that this president isn't any worse than the last one, you seem pretty satisfied. why? don't you want to have a president that isn't a tool? your guy is SO incompetent that he is being haunted by the policies of the guy impeached? and you are cool with that? why can't he take credit for his own mistakes? and why are you insisting this is the fault of people who have been out of office for years?

now, is your party functional enough to run the government or not? he's had years to figure it out hasn't he?

Answer 5

No..... this has all been a planed by BUSH SR. years ago. That's why his not to bright son is our president. if you remember the "RECOUNT" of 2000. and he BARELY slipped in in 2004 also. This has been planned for years. its like a chess game, and we are in check right now. I mean WHY are we still in Iraq??? Actually we should not have gone in at all!!!!! Everyones Blind!!! We are trying to take the country. the land the oil, etc. BUSH JR. is just a pond in this game. I mean the guy needs pictures in his speeches, so he kinda get what he saying.

Answer 6

Well... they had some info... but apparently they didn't feel comfortable enough to invade...

in hindsight... that was probably a smart idea...

it's not always about what you know... but how sure are you that you are correct...

what I want to know is why didn't they get Osama... and why is Bush also more concerned with Iraq than Osama STILL... he's making the exact same mistake, even AFTER 3,000 died in NYC...

Answer 7

I think Republicans lie way more ...
a decade of lies by the democrats are equal to the first 4 years of George W's term in office...

Republicans are great brain washers =)

Answer 8

with all the weapons in the world we could eventually blow away all who live here. it seems they are in all differnt areas of the world. not exactly in all countries. but in reality our countries sre fairly close together. A scary thought to think about is it not.

Answer 9

GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE 3RD CONSECUTIVE PRESIDENT TO ATTACK IRAQ.

CLINTON BOMBED IRAQ ON DEC 16, 1998 (THE SAME DAY THAT MONICA TESTIFIED!!!) BECAUSE HE SAID IRAQ HAD WMD

Answer 10

That is where the term 'flip-flop' came from.
