"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations.

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."

He did have development capabilities in the '80's and '90's. We knew about most of it because most of it was listed (the lists he submitted to the UN). The 2002 data was the same data the President released to Congress and then the citizens of this country. We now know that data had been 'creavtively interpreted' by the administration. Pelosi was not the only one fooled. There are members of both parties who have had to change their mind on this.

I make no excuses for my parties leaders, I don't know where she got such information, perhaps bad intelligence huh?
However I wonder why the following phrases weren't questioned.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED=Bush
STAY THE COURCE= Bush
DOIN A HECK OF A JOB BROWNIE= Bush
A previous poster said the question woudn't be printed, cause of the "liberal media". I say my answer won't be considered cause the Republicans think they can do no wrong it's always somebody else's fault!

Be careful... If we all agree she was lying, then we must also agree that Bush was lying. Either they all were or they all weren't, regardless of party. Although I generally support the Dems more than the Repubs, I think they're all a bunch of liars. The reason is, honest people don't go into politics; they get real jobs!

Pelosi is a nutcase and the president of the hate-Bush club.

Pelosi will do anything or say anything to regain power for the democraps in Washington. The House and Senate are not the only goal of Pelosi and the dem's they want the whitehouse and will stop at nothing to get it.

the woman is a liberal. of COURSE she is a liar! as you have seen, as soon as they get into power, they hold grand "victory" parties over a JOB, and then turn around and raspberry the world and state that they will NOT do what was promised in the election. you just cite very specific examples.

Pelosi had a FOUR DAY PARTY?? over being elected? she is not CORONATED, she is not the supreme official, the separation of powers clause ensures that. Drive me nuts with this "force-bush-to-witdraw-troops" BS. its specifically written that Congress has very limited powers, same as the President, and controlling every aspect of life aint it.

Saddam moved them out of Iran to God only knows where. We gave him plenty of time to make the move between the first gulf war and the second.

Yes, she did have wrong information. But the difference is, she can admit she was wrong, and move forward with a new strategy. And how come so many conservatives answered this question when you asked it to liberals?
