I keep hearing that the Bush administration did not lie about WMD. But consider what Donald Rumsfeld said:
"STEPHANOPOULOS: Is it curious to you that given how much control U.S. and coalition forces now have in the country, they haven’t found any weapons of mass destruction?
RUMSFELD: Not at all. If you think — let me take that, both pieces — the area in the south and the west and the north that coalition forces control is substantial. It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
We KNOW where they are??? How can that NOT be a lie?

Does anyone "really" believe that the USA would have went to war with Iraq if, indeed, they did have WMD's? Rummy's job, along with Cheney and Powell, was to sell the war. They did a heckava job, didn't they!

I have said this before, the true axis of evil, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld. Have there ever been three people who have managed to do so much damage to America in six short years?

Because he just sidesteps the question by saying that the places where they have control are the places there are no WMDs. So if they ever take complete control, Rumsfeld would be saying that they would find WMDs.

Old Donald was pulling our legs. No WMD's. Just a few bottles of mustard gas that was left over from gasing his own people.

to these guys, the ends justifies the means...what gets me frustrated is they are trying to prove a negative as being a positive...."since they weren't found, they are in Syria"....They can't prove this of course and attack logical people who are trying to point out that none have been found, the President acknowledges it, and the military has no clue where to look....it's just ridiculous

That's just one of the many that they have told.
We could sit all day and talk about the descrepancies that have occured in the Bush cabinets speeches.

Although I extremely dislike Rummy, I take that to mean they know the general location. Although I agree that he is a liar for other reasons.

Well, I don't know enough about that to make an honest determination...but, since that whole paragraph seems rather incoherent to me, I have to assume that it is most likely a lie!!!!!!
