Hey just wondering, does anyone still believe WMD's were a "lie"?

Question

Now that we all know sadaam had 6 months notice that we were coming....

now that we all know that sadaam didn't let the inspectors search all areas of iraq prior to the war....

now that we have acquired satillite photos of the trucks in which they were moved (to syria)....

now that we know all of this, are there still people out there who actually believe sadaam never had WMD's? after all, he used them on his own people constantly.

WOW, okay so there are some people. Who's fault is it that we have seemingly dumbed down as a nation? Maybe the flaming liberal media

hey nostradamus.....if what you say actually happens and the democratic party ends up ruling america, we will have communism.

hahaha mitchell just said the media isnt liberal.

Answer 1

nope, but the media's doing a great job.

Answer 2

Iraq had and used WMD for some time; there is no disputing that fact.

But if you are asking, "were the Iraqis in possession of WMD when the current Bush administration was telling us there were?". My answer would be no.

If there were, Bush would have let us know.

Are you so naive to think that we wouldn't be lied to?

Believing that Iraqi's possession of WMD as a justification for the current war is as far fetched as the Government being responsible for 9-11.

Trucks to Syria? You have a lot to learn about the region.

Answer 3

Oh, for heavens sake - even Dick Cheney admits there were no WMD in Iraq.

In the build-up to the U.S. invasion in 2003, Bush and other administration leaders argued that Saddam should be removed from power because he had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and was actively seeking to build a nuclear weapon.

Subsequent investigations concluded that he did not have such weapons, and in an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cheney acknowledged that, “clearly, the intelligence that said he did was wrong.”

Answer 4

How does this fall on Clinton? In the Gulf War, George H.W. Bush had the option of following Saddam's retreating troops from Kuwait back into Iraq and he didn't go for it. Before 9.11, George W. Bush said he didn't believe Saddam had the capabilities or resources for WMDs. The way your question is stated just makes you sound foolish. A better question is, "Does anyone still believe WMDs in Iraq ever existed?" You also note that "he used them on his own people constantly." He gassed a population of Kurds in the 1980s, when else did he use WMDs on his own people? You are presenting opinions and trying to pass them off as facts.

Answer 5

"Never underestimate the gullibility of the American people". - P Barnum.

Sageandscolar (heeheehee): According to the captured Sadam, he did not believe the Americans would take out a secular Islamic country next to Iran. A = the future. Besides that, he stated the idea of WMD was to deter an attack from Iran - not the west who would surely stop and bargain like they did the last time.

Answer 6

I believe very old intelligence was used to promote going to war. Iraq was under severe sanctions for years and the country was a mess. Saddam was cheating on his oil sales and selling the oil in Euros. Saddam wasn't buddies with Syria. Why would he give them WMD? Do you really think he'd do that? Do you think the U.S. would move WMD into Mexico to hide it? Not hardly. I would think he would have wanted to use it if he thought we were going to attack his country.

Answer 7

Bush admitted on national television that he knew there were no WMD's before we started the war with Iraq. He said it right before the '04 elections, and I can't remember who interviewed him (it's late, and I'm kinda tired), but I will find it tommorrow and post it.

Answer 8

Obviously the WMD's were a lie, just as everything you are saying now. Keep supporting this retard of a president and change the kool aid every week.

And your "flaming liberal media" comment is another lie. There is no liberal media, you gotta stop listening to FOX tell you that.

You've got all the neocon talking points down, are you direct fax list from Rove?

Answer 9

i know that they were a lie - joe wilson said so and his wife paid for it with her career - which just happened to be about wmd's in the middle east.

i have wondered why no one has made more of that connection.

i think the wmd's were a lie and i think that you are a liar.

40 years from now what's left of the republican party (which won't be much) will still be trying to say that going into iraq was not only not justified based on what they said, but not a colossal blunder.

wrong and wrong.

but we are about to sell $20 billion in high tech arms to saudi arabia - people we KNOW WERE involved in 9/11.

time to call it what it is folks - george w. bush is a traitor to america.

period.

Answer 10

well... we know he had them at some point... VERY few are arguing that point...

but did he have them when we invaded or 6 months before? nice job of not linking anything up to the things that we "know"

you really have ZERO evidence that he did have them... it's all pure speculation and assumption...

no clue of what was in the trucks... no clue about why he didn't let the inspectors in...

the duke boys had more convincing evidence against them... do you think they were guilty?

Answer 11

Where's the evidence? Photos of trucks are only evidence of trucks
