Answer 1

Here's some interesting reading for the left wing hypocrites that upchuck so vapidly about "Bush's LIES about WMD's":

http://www.davidstuff.com/political/wmdquotes.htm

"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 Bill 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 Bill 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

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[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:
-- Democratic Senators 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

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

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

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- 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

Answer 2

There aren't any. Besides, this is a tiring debate. Let's get the facts out first:
1. Intelligence agencies around the world reported presence of or intent to create WMDs
2. Iraq was bound to agreements following the cessation of hostilities from the Liberation of Kuwait, 1991.
3. Iraq (specifically Saddam Hussein) repeatedly ignored those obligations, including subsequent U.N. resolutions
4. The United States wants to have pro-Western stabilization in the Mid-East

If you want to speculate on possible untold truths as to why the United States spearheaded an invasion of Iraq besides those relating to the facts above, you should look no further than Iran. Sure, cheaper oil is great for America. But, if you didn't notice, the U.S. and it's allies did not TAKE the oil upon reaching the strategic goal of overthrowing the Hussein regime. Instead, the coalition instituted a democratic government of the Iraqi people, elected by them (not the U.S.) to take control of their country, including their oil. That should put the oil-conspiracy theorists to bed.

Back to Iran. The only plausible underhanded reason for going into Iraq that I can think of would be to influence another revolution in Iran. The United States would have rather invaded Iran over Iraq but clearly had little legal or moral means to do so in 2003. The theocratic regime, proven to have ties to terrorist organizations, spouts hate rhetoric toward the U.S. and its Western allies, namely Israel. A military incursion into that country would have been far more costly than in Iraq. Success would have meant obliterating the country, turning the citizens against the West, which is counter to the idea of getting rid of the regime in the first place. Instead, by instituting true democracy into it's neighbor and galvanizing a local presence in support, the United States was attempting to give a nod to the Iranian youth to stand up for freedom within their own borders and institute their own democracy at the cost of the right-wing Islamic theocracy at its head.

Doesn't that make much more sense than the idea of a U.S. President with a pitchfork in his hand dealing death and destruction to the globe so he can add more money to his checking account (which he could have done much easier by staying out of politics anyway)?

Think people....

Answer 3

Hey Trollbuster Touche'
I wish you would....grow up we are still searching for Bin Laden I know you think it is simple but look at the recent incident with the 3 mountain climbers with all of our resources we can't even find a couple of men on one mountain.

Answer 4

Democrats do not speak the untrue. They are always right and we know more about everything than you "neocons". You all are close minded because you do not think like us. Long live Communism!

Ha. Just kidding. I'm no friggin dem.

Answer 5

um... pretty much everything he said in his State of the Union Address that led us into war with Iraq was either exaggerated or a bald-faced lie. remember the whole story about Saddam and the Yellowcake? proved to be untrue even before he mentioned it. An agent of Saddam meeting with Mohammed Atta somewhere in Europe (i think Switzerland?) was also proved to be TOTAL bs. Cheney/Bush repeatedly stating that there were "definite ties" between Saddam and al-qaeda, then Bush saying later that he never said that. oh, and obviously the whole WMDs thing. if i had a better memory, i'm sure i could go on and on, but i shouldn't need to. it's been going on for years and it truly boggles my mind how ANYONE could believe in this guy as a strong leader. it's sad how we've gone from respected super-power to laughingstock of the world in just a few short years.

Answer 9

Here’s what Bush said:
Bush’s Claim

"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.”

State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

Reality:

Iraq has 500 tons of chemical weapons:

- Sarin gas
- Mustard gas
- VX Nerve agent

Not True

Zero Chemical Weapons Found
Not a drop of any chemical weapons has been found anywhere in Iraq

Bush Claimed:

“U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein
had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable
of delivering chemical agents.”

State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

Iraq has 30,000 weapons capable of dumping chemical weapons on people
Not True


Zero Munitions Found
Not a single chemical weapon’s munition has been found anywhere in Iraq


Bush Said:

“We have also discovered through intelligence
that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas."

State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

Iraq has a growing fleet of planes capable of dispersing chemical weapons almost anywhere in the world

Not True

Zero Aerial Vehicles Found
Not a single aerial vehicle capable of dispersing chemical or biological weapons, has been found anywhere in Iraq


Bush Said:

"Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications and statements by people
now in custody reveal that
Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaida."

State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

Iraq aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaeda
And implied that Iraq was somehow behind 9/11


Not True

Zero Al Qaeda Connection

To date, not a shred of evidence connecting Hussein with Al Qaida or any other known terrorist organizations have been revealed.
(besides certain Palestinian groups who represent no direct threat to the US)


Bush Said:

"Our intelligence sources tell us that he (Saddam) has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production."

State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

Iraq has attempted to purchase metal tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production


Not True

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as well as dozens of leading scientists declared said tubes unsuitable for nuclear weapons production -- months before the war.


Bush Said:

"Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at [past nuclear] sites."

Bush speech to the nation – 10/7/2002

Iraq is rebuilding nuclear facilities at former sites.


Not True

Two months of inspections at these former Iraqi nuclear sites found zero evidence of prohibited nuclear activities there

IAEA report to UN Security Council – 1/27/2003

Bush Said:

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

Iraq recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa


Not True

The documents implied were known at the time by Bush to be forged and not credible.
