Is lying to the troops about WMD a YAHoo slur?

Question

or is it a war crime?

Answer 1

alll of you republican hoes still think BUSH NEVER LIED about WMD

he already admiited to it folks

and YELLOW CAKE is not a frosting

keep up the denial us democrats will kick your butts again like
2006 in 2008 for the constant denail

Answer 2

Saddam used Chemical weapons on both Iranian troops and Iraqi citizens.

Israel blew up a breeder reactor.

Saddam had attempted repeatedly to buy technology to build nuclear weapons.

What more do you need? Would Saddam have to personally be holding a nuke to believe Iraq wanted and would use WMDs? That is the question, I don't care if Bush ordered the attack for some reason or another. The US was going into Iraq Bush or no Bush. It was going into Iraq 9-11 or no 9-11. Saddam wanted WMDs. Had them and had used them. He had to be removed from power. Bush Sr was too scared to finish the job. Bush Jr kept us in Iraq long after the job was done.

So Bush's lie was not about WMDs it was about what he wanted to do in Iraq AFTER removing Saddam. The whole world assumed we'd pack up and go, including our allies.

Answer 3

Saying that Bush lied about WMD's is getting really old.

Bill Clinton must be loving this! He believed that Saddam had WMD's in 1998 so badly that he thought the intelligence was actionable. That's why he bombed that plant in the Sudan, right?

Bill Clinton also ordered everyone in the Department of Defense being deployed to the gulf to be immunized against anthrax. My next booster is due in 2007.

Bill Clinton also ordered all naval personnel to be trained in self-injection of anti-toxins for biological and chemical agents. Carrying around a green and an orange popsicle stick was a regular part of every General Quarters drill while I was on my ship.

Why not let's put the crap to rest, huh? When you single out Bush, you make yourself look ignorant of the facts.

Answer 4

What lie??? We found lots of WMD and destroyed them. Some of or intelligence was flawed, but there was no lies told

Answer 5

OMG----Why cat we give off the stupid WMD topic???

We found them, Saddam had them. Terrorists training grounds.

Where is the LIE!!!!

Answer 6

no because our military said they found 500 WMDs in Iraq

Answer 7

You mean the people who are trying to pretend that the 500+ chemical warheads we captured and destroyed never existed?

Answer 8

It seems to be to the nutjobs that think holding Bush responsible for what he's done/doing is somehow wrong.

Answer 9

What are you talking about?
It's neither. Your question makes no sense.

Answer 10

How about these war criminals then, hmm????

"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:

-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

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 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
