How many Republican know Bush lied about his reasons for invading Iraq?

Question

WASHINGTON – A year ago, on Oct. 1, one of the most important documents in U.S. history was published and couriered over to the White House.

The 90-page, top-secret report, drafted by the National Intelligence Council at Langley, included an executive summary for President Bush known as the "key judgments." It summed up the findings of the U.S. intelligence community regarding the threat posed by Iraq, findings the president says formed the foundation for his decision to preemptively invade Iraq without provocation. The report "was good, sound intelligence," Bush has remarked.

Most of it deals with alleged weapons of mass destruction.

But page 4 of the report, called the National Intelligence Estimate, deals with terrorism, and draws conclusions that would come as a shock to most Americans, judging from recent polls on Iraq. The CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the other U.S. spy agencies unanimously agreed that Baghdad:



had not sponsored past terrorist attacks By telling Americans that Saddam could "on any given day" slip unconventional weapons to al-Qaida if America didn't disarm him, the president misrepresented the conclusions of his own secret intelligence report, which warned that Saddam wouldn't even try to reach out to al-Qaida unless he were attacked and had nothing to lose – and might even find that hard to do since he had no history of conducting joint terrorist operations with al-Qaida, and certainly none against the U.S.

If that's not lying, I don't know what is.

fatboysda...
Why are you at this forum...hello...its called politics thats why I care

lucky2bal...
thats a lie...the UN ..was telling the World back then that Iraq had no wmd,s we just didn,t listen.

I wish it were you guys over there instead of my Brother he and his whole platoon know its for oil and you guys still believe and support the lie...its sickning!

Answer 1

Your brother, is a true hero. May he come home soon. Alive, in one piece, and totally unharmed, as well as the rest of those who fight by his side.
Deep down, I think they all must know that by now. If they truly don't then how sad for them. They want to hang on to the belief that Bush cares for any of us. The lies, I am sick of all the lies we are fed.
I find it rather odd that Bush used hired intelligence when making his decision to invade Iraq. If he'd had any in his own head, he would have proceeded with greater caution. On a normal day, I would not put intelligence and Bush in the same sentence. Just my opinion.
Great post.

Answer 2

no, think about it. not all republicans knew what was going to happen. they listened to the rhetoric, like these dumbos. they got fed the news, and forgot to read between the lines.

no republicans knew bush was lying. i doubt even he did; the he seems to dumb to understand the situation. i mean, why go to war at a third world country? unless there was something else; not oil. not crusade-ing. not religion. not money. but adrenaline.

i've never been in combat, i've never had to react to a gun pointed at my chest, but if I did? It would be a massive rush. especially to shoot the guy dead, with all my technologically advanced gear. thats why they call the war in iraq an 'unfair war'. you imagine being an 'insurgent'. they dont get blown up. the whole building does

i've known liars,like my father. the US sponsored terrorists and insurgents to the extreme- and now it's 'fighting back'? are you crazy? the whole affair stinks of outright fascism - that sounds extreme, but their control on information and the defination of principle is the same. these guys are this because they do this. we are that because we do that. what bush is saying flies in the face of education, of history, of humanity, and instead promotes a hysterical here-and-now.

i guess most republican politicans didn't understand what they were up against. i guess some got brought down by the exposure of dirty secrets they thought were intact- cus they asked too many questions. its a dirty world.

Answer 3

Umm Saddam did sponsor terrorists by paying those sucide bombers families for each Israeli they blew up. Many times the President and his adminstration has said that Saddam did not have ties to Al-Qaeda.

Just because they mention Saddam and Al-Qaeda in the same paragraph does not mean they are trying to make the connection. I realize that you liberals only hear what you want and miss many words inbetween. I just hope one day you all find a bit more of a back bone to admit how f----- up your thinking is to root for your countries downfall day in and day out.

Answer 4

See the problem here is that like most liberals you cease to listen when someone is speaking. You hear one thing you don't like, then you shut your ears off and begin to compose your response/attack without hearing everything that is said.

There was reasonable suspicion to think that Saddam had developed wmd. Iraq had not complied with UN sanctions, and actually with help from German and French companies they had actually imported items explicitly forbidden in the sanctions from the first Gulf War.

Answer 5

Iraq was invaded as the result of refusing to comply with UN resolution not because it sponsored terrorism. You perpetuate a liberal created myth, it never happened.

Answer 6

Good

Answer 7

This is real lying (at it's best) Still gonna blame Bush even though your lying party admitted to the threat

Answer 8

we are still there and we are still fighting...what does your question accomplish...i know it was false information...but i still support the war...i wish he would have handled it better...but it took time for FDR to get a good plan for WW2...i will continue to support our troops regardless of why we went...let them finish the job and come home...stop telling the world the fight isn't legal...because it is...you and your kind just keeps give osama and his friends hope...hope that America will give up...

Answer 9

In their hearts, all the Bush-leaguers know he lies, that's why so many of them get vicious in their comments on this site.

Answer 10
