What did Bush lie about?

Question

I hear all this sheep saying that Bush lied. What did he lie about? Our intelligence and every other one in the world thought he had WMD. We know he had them at one point because we gave them to him and he killed 180K of his own people with one plane. England and others still stand by the information of Saddam looking for yellow cake in Africa. So what did he lie about? Stop this brainwashing and re-writing of history.

Still not one example. The yellow cake meeting did happen, our government just can't prove it. Britian beleived it happened, still to this day.

I'm waiting on one please.

Answer 1

He didn't lie! You are exactly right. The media, who detests him, proceeded to overemphisize one line of the State of the Union Address that talked about weapons of mass destruction. In fact, if you lemmings who love to besmirch our president go back and read the entire text of the address, will find several reasons why Saddam Hussein was a threat to us.

1. He was a threat to his neighbors. He had already demonstrated his desire to invade neighboring countries during the Iraq war in the early 1990's. For those of you ignoramuses who don't remember your recent history, Saddam Hussein invaded the country of Kuwait, which happens to share a border with Iraq, and has a lot of oil.

2. He murdered his own citizens... Why would America be sacred and left unharmed if he would kill his own citizens? Likewise, he had a little nickname for us that did not indicate his will to leave us alone.

3. He was very clearly flouting several United Nations resolutions in refusing to allow inspectors to come in and see that his weapons had been dismantled--resolutions that the UN instated, not us. I distinctly recall this point being brought up more by the administration than the WMD thing.

4. President Bush was VERY CLEAR that this was a pre-emptive war...one that was going to take away his power to get WMD's before he could use them. So the fact that we didn't find any should be a pat on the back to this administration. Hallelujah! He didn't have any weapons and he certainly never will have any weapons NOW, will he?

Likewise, for you historically forgetful folks, Libya wasn't low on our list of threats either, and they voluntarily disarmed themselves after we caught Saddam. Not a shot was fired, and we had a middle eastern nation that bordered Iraq voluntarily disarm their nuclear program.

Just because the media doesn't say it over and over doesn't mean that it's not significant. Joe Wilson is a political hack who's wife's nepotism got him the job, and his story is riddled with innacuracies. But you Bush haters would rather believe Joe Wilson than 20 years of history, British Intelligence and even the Clinton administration.

Answer 2

I'm not sure it could be proved that he technically lied. He did take obviously fraudulent evidence from a shady, single source over much more prevalent, reliable evidence to the contrary. It's not brainwashing or rewriting, but a matter of public record to say that Dick Cheney repeatedly leaked faulty intelligence to the Post or the Times, then went on the Sunday news shows to cite the newspaper stories as proof. Read Hubris by David Corn and Mike Isikof. Nor is it brainwashing or rewriting to say that the Bush administration was determined to find a rationale for the invasion of since their first cabinet meeting. Read The Price of Loyalty by David Susskind. I don't think there are too many people who disagree with Joe Wilson regarding Saddam's search for yellow cake, since he was sent by the administration and was in the best position to know.

Answer 3

in case you're ill of the final public opinion on Bush proper you may now continually hear to Limbaugh or Coulter... If that doesn't pastime you there is proffesional activities, video games , pornography, romance novels, pass-sewing golf equipment, pokemon or beanie babies. So, you spot you have many possibilities to listening to how Bush lied. (additionally, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scott Mekllelan, Andrew Card, Judith Meirs, Alberto Gonzoles and Donald Rumsfeld-they lied too).

Answer 4

Bush sent Colin Powell to the UN with proof of the WMD's that he couldn't show because we had people in country they would be in Danger. Saddam is dead we have won the war.
Where is the PROOF, the day I see that proof is the day I will believe our President.
With the proof it was still not our job to go to War with Iraq that was for its Neighbors to do.
We were in the mist of our own War against The real people who took down the WTC.
That was another lie Bush said Iraq was involved countless times and now there is proof they had nothing to do with it.
So Yes the Guy I voted for Lied.

Answer 5

UHhhhhhhh................NO. I believe it is YOU who would change the facts to re-write history.

If you recall, the U-N-I-T-E-D Nations said they had "NO PROOF" of the existence of WMD's. Bush and Blair overruled what the combined intelligence networks of other countries (including Germany and France) reported and went forward with the invasion of Iraq. The U.S. and Great Britain were condemned for their actions.

Reality check: Bush & Co. wanted to get their hands on the oil fields of Iraq. Bush was informed by his own security advisor Robert Clarke, that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 (the other reason given by Bush to invade Iraq).

When Saddam had the oil, gas prices here in the U.S. were $1.35 a gal. for regular. Now since we control the oil from Iraq, the price of regular is $2.89 a gal. UHhh.......what's wrong with this picture?

Did Bush lie? Hmmmmmm........ is the sky blue?

O.K. John.......if you insist. The yellow cake was not purchased by Saddam, even though Barbara Bush had baked it. Saddam was a chocolate cake lover, so the Bushies got mad at him when he insulted Barbara and said her yellow cake weighed a ton. That is when "little Georgie Porgee" decided to invade Iraq. Good enough b.s. story for your limited intellect to accept?

Answer 6

1) The US Intelligence thought the yellow cake story was false. Since when do we rely on England's intelligence. Dick Cheney also deliberately leaked false intelligence to the NY Times.

2) He lied about Iraq's connection to 9/11.

3) He lied abot not knowing who leaked Valerie Plame.

4) He lied about the advancement of Iraqi Nuclear technology and is doing so again about Iran.

Answer 7

He lied to Queen Elizabeth when he said she last visited the USA over 100 years ago. ^_^

Answer 8

your facts are totally and completely wrong.
your so misguided that it is impossible to know where to begin with you.
for starters, the former head of the C.I.A., on 60 minutes no less, stated that the info was bogus.
i would venture to say that he is a reliable source.
i would love to continue but you r so ill informed that it would be futile to continue.
i would sincerely suggest you taking an entire day to seek out info from sources not affiliated with wherever you are getting your info currently.
it seems as though you have been in a cave.

no i am not a liberal(yawn)

Answer 9

He lied about the certainty surrounding a particular meeting one of Saddam's henchmen was alleged to have had in Nigeria.

Period.

He shouldn't have.

But he did.

But by the same token that was one of several reasons given to go into Iraq and none of the people who voted to do so then but now say we shouldn't have gone ever said "I'm voting for this measure because of the yellowcake - if it weren't for the yellowcake I'd vote against this ah ah ah....."

It's wrong to lie but the notion that but for that lie anyone who voted for the war would have voted against it is also a lie.

Answer 10

John and Booman, you are both just kidding yourselves if you believe he has been honest and trustworthy. They told him before the invasion that the intelligence was incorrect. That's the whole reason Plame was outed. To quiet the truth about Iraq. It will all come out and then you all will probably blame Clinton for it somehow.
