Answer 1

How else would you get them to fight an illegal war about oil and money?

Answer 2

Another piece of evidence consists of documents which President Bush referenced as in his 2003 State of the Union Speech. According to Bush, these documents proved that Iraq was buying tons of uranium oxide, called "Yellow Cake" from Niger.
Since Israel had bombed Iraq's nuclear power plant years before, it was claimed that the only reason Saddam would have for buying uranium oxide was to build bombs.


This hoax fell apart fast when it was pointed out that Iraq has a great deal of uranium ore inside their own borders and no need to import any from Niger or anywhere else. The I.A.E.A. then blew the cover off the fraud by announcing that the documents Bush had used were not only forgeries, but too obvious to believe that anyone in the Bush administration did not know they were forgeries! The forged documents were reported as being "discovered" in Italy by SISMI, the Italian Security Service. Shortly before the "discovery" the head of SISMI had been paid a visit by Michael Ledeen, Manucher Ghorbanifar, and two officials from OSP, one of whom was Larry Franklin, the Israeli spy operating inside the OSP.

In July, 2005, the Italian Parliament concluded their own investgation and named four men as suspects in the creation of the forged documents. Michael Ledeen, Dewey Clarridge, Ahmed Chalabi and Francis Brookes. This report has been included in Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the outing of Valerie Plame, and Paul McNulty, the prosecutor of the AIPAC spy case.

A recently declassified memo proves that the State Department reported the fact that the NIger documents were forgeries to the CIA 11 days before President Bush made the claim about the Niger uranium based on those documents.

In the end, the real proof that we were lied to about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is that no weapons of mass destruction were ever found. That means that every single piece of paper that purported to prove that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction was by default a fraud, a hoax, and a lie. There could be no evidence that supported the claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction because Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. In a way, the existence of any faked documents about Iraq's WMDs is actually an admission of guilt. If one is taking the time to create fake documents, the implication is that the faker is already aware that there are no genuine documents.

Answer 3

Republicans did not lie about wmd's. They were definitely
in Iraq but we fooled around so long, that they were moved
to Syria (the Media told them we were coming to look for
them, of course). Some smaller wmd's have been found but
not the biggies we were looking for. They had them. No lies.
LIke bin laden, we haven't got him yet (apparently) but he's
still there somewhere hiding.

Answer 4

Same reason Nancy Pelosi did. Why did she lie to the troops and the American people?

“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.”

Answer 5

It isn't necessary to convince the troops of anything, they are to follow orders without question. But in order for the "New World Order" to be succesful worldwide we must have types of government in place which can be controlled. (the next step following removal of national borders for the U.S.) That will give us 2 classes the 'haves' and the 'have nots'.

Answer 6

Groupthink. They didn't lie, they believed WMDs existed, and then they clung in desperation to every shaky shred of evidence that supported their claim. They all assumed they would be vindicated once we went into Iraq.

We all know how that turned out.

It is no wonder many Americans and Democrats supported the war, when no one knew just how bad the intelligence was.

Answer 7

so they would have more excuse to have war so they could get more rich$$$$, well i dont really believe that but i hear some ppl say it is. But i know its true that Iran and North Korea have WMD.

Answer 8

Republicans will do anything for oil money. They may look good to some people on the outside but the inside is dirty.

You can't always tell by looking who the good guys are. Insides don't always match the outsides.

Answer 9

We needed a reason for Haliberton to get in and steal billions of dollars.

Answer 10

Guess the same reason Clinton lied about Lewinski and lost his law license! Oh wait, we were told by credible sources at the time that there were WMDs and also if you didn't notice tens of thousands of Kurds who were killed by Saddam's weaopns thought he had them also as they lay there dying...

Answer 11

Cause they knew that they could get more money by acting stupid. I'd say Bush had a pretty good plan
