Do you believe the Scooter Libby trial will expose the pre-war campaign of WMD lies?

Question

We all know there was an orchestrated campaign of WMD lies designed to sell a war to an anti-country population. We all know they took questionable intelligence at best, and pumped it up into an imminent threat.

So will the prosecution lean so heavy on Libby that he cracks? Will Judith Miller tell the truth? How about Bill Safire? Cheney and Wolfowitz and Feith? Who will be the first to crack and start naming names?

JR - they have people like you saying - based on zero evidence - that the WMD were moved to Syria. So why would they need to plant any?

Answer 1

I certainly hope so. And assuredly, someone will "break." There's a saying: "Murder will out"...and I add to it that "it aways does." Somewehre down the line..........

Answer 2

Actually, the Scooter Libby investigation has revealed so far that it is liberals who are the ones lying about WMD. Documents seized in Iraq pretty much vindicate Bush (translations can be found on the department of justice website if you bother to look). The thing to understand is that the democrats who scream about "lies" with regard to Bush had access to those documents. Knowing that Bush was right, they claimed he lied anyway....that makes the liberals (as is usual) the actual ones doing the lying.

Further, the case against Libby is pretty much over with as it has come out, in an amazing act of gall, that it was actually liberals who "outed" Judith Miller. Further, her status was not actually classified....making it impossible for any crime to have taken place by anyone. Just to add insult to injury, it has come out that her husband basically lied about his findings with regard to Hussein seeking yellow cake uranium....he WAS attempting to obtain it and the only possible reason for this would be to make nuclear weapons.

Yes....the Scooter Libby investigation (there will be no trial) has revealed some pretty interesting things about WMD lies....however, not about Bush and the current administration......the ones doing the lying, in fact, lying in a highly dangerous, even treasonous fashion, are the democrats and other liberals.

Answer 4

Saddam Husein did now no longer understand the western animal. as rapidly as a diverse possibility factor has been reached you're as solid as ineffective regardless of public opinion or political social amassing in ability. as long as you skirt this particular doom possibility factor you need to masterfully make the main the west. Iran is getting perilously on the edge of triggering a brilliant reaction, it particularly is going to be bloody and messy and self righteos Liberals will do diverse finger pointing and so on. actual the comparable previous unhappy tale repeating itself. The west is particularly reactive and not takes usefull proactive steps

Answer 5

I think that the Scooter Libby trial will show the extent that the liberals in the Democratic party and the media will go to in trying to besmirch the legacy of George W. Bush. They've been on a witch hunt since losing the 2000 election, and THEY will be exposed in this trial.

When that ol ice age hits use I'll take comfort that So Damn Insane paid for burning all those oil wells and destroying our environment, We had a CFF reductions treaty World Wide. Now that formula is out the window. (WOMD)=OIL WELLS!
Remember you only tackle the man with the ball in football, cause he is the only one who can score.
So you are just proving to me how much on the Ball he must be.
As a Canadian it seems to me He must be a great president , as well very effective, a man of great stature. Years a head of his time. Only many years from now will they honor Him.
Bush is a man of God. He can not tell you everything now can he? So others take advantage of that.
He is an honorable man of God.

Answer 7

OK, if they were smart enough to start an "orchestrated campaign", don't you think they would be smart enough to plant some WMDs where they could easily be found?

The WMDs were moved, likely to Syria, by Saddam in the ramp up to the invasion.

Answer 8

No, and what we all know is that everyone, in both parties, believed the intelligence that Saddam was seeking WMDs no matter how much you try to hide that fact to bolster your own argument. Maybe it's going to be that lying idiot Joe Wilson who cracks and admits that he lied when it was easier to tell the truth.

Answer 9

"We all know there was an orchestrated campaign of WMD lies designed to sell a war to an anti-country population."

Do we really know that?

"We all know they took questionable intelligence at best, and pumped it up into an imminent threat."

Pre-911 intel was questionable too, and we all saw what happened there...

If anything, Scooter will be found guilty of perjury, that's the most you can hope for. He'll take the fall for whomever was truly responsible for what happened (I point my finger at Bush or Rove).

Answer 10

I have to hand it to you. You are the poster boy of the liberal democrats. I have never seen anyone pull the party line and talking points better than you. You are the "stereotypical" liberal to the bone. I don't agree with you on anything but I still think it's funny how much of a liberal you are. As i said you are the poster boy of a liberal democrat. I assume you get talking points, because you know how to present them to a tee.

Answer 11

you mean the 500 WMDs our military said they found in Iraq
