On Oct.7 2001, just before Afghanistan, and again at the State of the Union Address in 2003, just before Iraq, Bush warns time and time again that we're under imminent threat for bio-warfare. He proposes to spend $6 billion on something called Project BioShield to protect us from smallpox, Ebola, Ricin, and anthrax. Bush said Hussein had thousands of tons of biological weapons stockpiled and he was a clear and present danger, an imminent threat to the US.
We've since spent $500 billion on Iraq. The $6 billiion for BioShield is only $24 for each of us. Since Bush was so sure we were at risk, why weren't we worth $24 apiece on this so-called "War on Terror"? Did you ever get your BioShield or were all of us on another list? Lost in mail?
If he believed it, why didn't he spend it to "save" us? If he didn't believe it, why did he lie to us and to the entire world?
Isn't this maybe just a little worse than the Blue Dress?
And why did they name it "Project BS"?????

I know I hit the nail on the head when all I get is mindless personal insults and non-facts. It's easy to get offended because the truth here is so blatant that there are neither excuses or arguments for it.
It all comes down to only two choices. Either Bush believed Hussein truly had all those horrendous WMDs and chose to leave us all totally unprotected for no apparent reason. And while he was claiming to be protecting us in the so-called "War On Terror" by making a first strike on Iraq. Which makes no damned sense at all, not even to a Republican.
Or he knew fully well that he was pulling a Mark Fuhrman by planting a glove on old Saddam for the benefit of the American people, the UN, NATO, and the entire world. Bush fully knew Hussein posed no threat but he led us to war solely upon LIES for self-serving economic reasons and a way of stealing more power than he has any right or reason to in a democracy.
So which is it? And compare it to the "Blue Dress Lies."
