What Did The Democrats Say About Iraq's WMD JANUARY 30, 2004 | Document Location: http://www.glennbeck.com/news/01302004.shtml

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 | Source

"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 | Source

"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 Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 | Source

"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 | Source

"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."

- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 | Source

"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 | Source

"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 | Source

"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 | Source

Answer 1

Too bad you didn't include the things they said before Bush was elected the first time too! lol
If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously deminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program.

One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develope weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them.
That is our bottom line.
Pres. Bill Clinton, February 4,1998

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.
Secretary of State Madeline Albright February 18,1998

We urge you, after consulting with congress, and consistent with the U.S. constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, (including if appropriate, air and missle strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end it's weapons of mass destruction programs.
Democrat senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John F. Kerry, and other's in a letter to President Clinton
October 9,1998

Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the developement of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. The responsibility of the United States in this conflict is to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, to minimize the danger to our troops and to diminish the suffering of the Iraqi people.
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, December 16,1998

Answer 2

Oh sometimes the comedy never ends - there are reals of dems demanding Bush act on the WMD's that were in Iraq - where are they now? Good question maybe Syria. But Saddam himself bragged about having chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. It is fact that he used biological and chemical weapons on his own people! Ask the kurds! Saddam lied to be a big man regarding the nukes. Bush didn't create these things... we were duped, the whole fricken intelligence world was duped. We had bad intel - sh!t happens but don't be fooled, the dems screamed the loudest for Bush to act. And Hillary can say now - "If I knew then what I know now..." how insightful, I am fairly certain that if Bush knew then what he knows now... the whole game would have been different but you can't act on hindsight. Lincoln Chaffee - is still a republican pal - I am from RI and how was he rewarded for his correct vote - he was pushed out by . . .wait for it dems who voted to go to Iraq - so they could "send a message to the president" message received, you're not too bright! Edit -Another clever bugger heard from - yes Joe Lieberman was a democrat until he made the fateful mistake of having an opinion didn't follow the party line and they pushed him out - he was voted in by his constituency for having the nuggets to stand up for himself! Then he went independent. = jeeze people watch the news once in awhile!

Answer 3

And what is your point?????????

The Bush neo-con war mongers told Americans and the world that Saddam had WMDS and that he was responsible for 9/11.

This dangerous lying Bush who has despicably used and abused my Christianity (Bush's own Methodist Church has condemned not only the war as being anti-Christian but has also castigated Bush himself) to "sell his filthy war " et al did not say "maybe" 0r "90 %" sure BUT ABSOLUTELY A FACT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now with every mounting proof from a host of people here and in Britain that were part of the war planning,we are sure that BUSH et al LIED to Americans and the world .

So Bush sarted an illegal war based on a pack of lies.

Oh yes,most Democrats and many people around the world did BELIEVE what Bush and Blair were telling them

The LAST thing any moral person would think is that a God fearing BUSH would actually LIE about such profoundly moral/ethical issues that has now led to the butchering of over 3000 US soldiers and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT IRAQI MEN,WOMEN, and CHILDREN.

Yes grasshopper,the Democrats were stupid enough to believe Bush's filthy lies and acted accordingly as did most of the rest of the war.

"LIE TO ME ONCE,SHAME ON YOU,LIE TO ME TWICE ,SHAME ON ME "

NOW that the Democrats and THE WORLD knows what a despicable immoral lying war mongerer BUSH is,they all are looking for "BEAR" and make no mistake Bush is going to be impeached (If Clintons lying about an affair is a "HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANOR" you can bet the farm that LYING about going to war and torturing and killing Iraqi and Afghan prisoners is substantially more serious) and it is entirely possible the Word Court will JUSTIFIABLY charge him with crimes agfainst humanity.

Yes,you and some others on this board can take whatever vile pleasure you can over being deliberately lied to and hope you have not lost a loved one who has died for a pack of lies

Obviously you and your fellow travellers have no problem being lied to so profoundly.That says it all.

Answer 4

Here's the deal, Sparky.

We went into Iraq based on cherry picked intelligence and found out there were no WMD now.

So now, there is no reason to be there under the original justification. The Bushies are just trying to pull off yet another bait-and-switch scam like all the others that have fattened their family at the public trough for the past 60 years.

Answer 5

Not sure what we are going to get by making this more about politics than about the people we sent over there to get a job done. What turned me was an interview of a young corporal he said he thought the strategy was for him to drive around Bagdad until he was hit by a IED!
No strategic goal to win the war, no plan to stop the killing and no exit plan if you ask me that's too many no's!

Answer 6

Look out, the libs are going to want you dead!

You used their own words against them, but since they lie so often and flip-flop more than a landed trout, nothing they said or promised can be held against them.

Great post, Thanks

Sorry about the source, the little coward pulled his response.

Answer 7

Yes, Good Work.
The Democrats SCREAMED like little girls that Bush had to "take out Saddam", because of his WMD's.
I was against it, because I KNEW the Democrats would BETRAY us.
And They Did.
Democrats always betray their country.

Answer 8

Latest/Greatest apparently has trouble with counter-facts...judging from the opinions blurted out in that "hissy-fit"! haha

Answer 9

Sir, truth does not fit the democratic machine ,
your making waaay to much sense for a typical neolib

Answer 10

They voted for the war and now they say we did not know there was a war.
