Can you prove Bush lied about WMDs?

Question

Spare me the proof that there weren't any found. That only means the intel was wrong.
Show me the proof he lied from a credible source, not some fringe far left of moveon.org web site.

Even the UN thought there were WMDs. Did they lie too?

Then do it Chi Guy.

Answer 1

Can you prove he didn't.

Answer 2

Clearly Iraq had WMD's we know this because Saddam used them to gas thousands of Kurds. We also know this because the US, Germany and the UK were instrumental in helping Saddam acquire these weapons since Iraq, even under Saddam couldn't build a bicycle without outside help.

The real question is how hard were we really looking for them? Think about this. If WMD's were the real reason for invading Iraq and we found them, how would the Bush administration justify a prolonged occupation of Iraq?

Why do think we haven't found Bin Laden? Sadly we need him alive to justify the war on terror. Do you really believe that the CIA can't find a person they trained and gave millions of dollars in aid too. WAKE UP!!!!!

Answer 3

Hey, Jeffy baby - George's own arms experts have said, on national television, that they told him there were no WMDs in Iraq months before George began lying about them. Our own arms experts also told him, months earlier, that those two (and there were only two) unmanned aircraft Saddam's army had could not reach Israel, much less the United States. Our own experts told George not to lie about Iraq trying to buy nuclear materials from Africa, and what did George do? He told Karl Rove to "out" Valerie Plame as revenge for her husband, Ambassador Wilson telling George the truth. That's treason, by the way, and under the law, such a traitor should be executed. Gee, Ol' George looked pretty lively when he was on the tube this morning...and you think these scum deserve our support? WTF?

Answer 4

The UN knew he didn't have WMD.
This is a rather interesting document at details the fact that at one time Saddam did have WMDs in mind for development, but no longer had the capability at the start of the Iraqi war.

Answer 5

Before the war, he came on TV and said over and over again that Saddam had WMDs and we need to secure them to prevent him using them on us. He said this many times, sure it could be bad Intel but if he shared it with the country, either he strongly believed he was right or he purposely mislead us. In either case, it was incompetent of him to do so and that very excuse (that Iraq has WMDs) is responsible for our country's most controversial action in the last 4 years.

There are plenty of clips of him saying this, and you don't need to go to any fringe lefty site to find them.

Answer 6

Well, he turned out to be telling the truth, because we did end up finding some WMDs. But they were really old and couldn't be used anyway. But I don't think that was what anybody was expecting. So that means he either was lying and just got lucky, or he knew there were weapons and just exagerated to sell the war.

Answer 7

Show me the intel that said irrefutably that Iraq had WMDs.

And YES, the burden of proof lies on Bush! He used it as an excuse to invade a country! You BET he better back up that flagrant misuse of american lives and american dollars with something credible! Meanwhile, did he go after anyone in charge of intel? Who furnished him with bogus info? Was anyone held accountable?

Answer 8

I don't care what dirty politicians stood up and supported WMD's in Iraq! It was still a lie and it was shoved down our throats! There were inspectors on the ground in Iraq. We have satillites that can pinpoint within 1 yard and there was no hard evidence of any WMD's in Iraq short of a few old old munitions left over from the first war. It was a bold faced lie and everbody knows it!

Answer 9

The UN sent in people search for such WMD's and publicly pleaded repeatedly that the weapons did not exist. How can you prove there were none of nothing? Impossible.

Answer 10

Ummm... the whole world knew there weresn't any WMDs because the UN inspectors didn't find them time after time. It was just Bush and Connies who thought otherwise. The rest of us were not foolish.

Answer 11

I've read governmental transcripts posted on the Internet that WMD's were found. (non affiliated source)

But I get all my information from the really far-left-wing liberals here at Yahoo so I didn't believe it because none of the comments were approved by John Kerry, Al Gore, Hillary or Bill Clinton, John Edwards or Ted Kennedy.
