Can you prove Bush lied about WMDs?

Question

I've put this question up before and no one could prove it with a credible link.
Spare the links that say none were found, that only proves the Intel was wrong. Spare me the left of moveon.org crap. Put up something credible if you dare.
If you don't have a credible link save your effort because it only means you are full of BS.
Come on Longhaired Freaky Person this is your chance to shine baby. Put up your links and prove you're not full of it.

No credible links = Pure BS

Answer 1

people act like bush was on all of these intel gathering missions himself. He got reports and acted on them. There were a bunch of other intel agencies from many other countries that were giving the same intel to their leaders.

The difference is that countries like france germany and russia didnt want to act on it becuase they were too busy lining up oil contracts with saddam. people say we invaded becuase of oil. the truth is the others didnt invade becuase of oil.

Answer 2

I don't know if he lied about WMD, but he was certainly misleading and he manipulated the Congress and Americans by cherry picking WMD evidence to steal support for his invasion. Bush had numerous documents on his desk about proof and no proof of Iraqi WMD...Bush only saw what he wanted to believe so he discarded the documents about the doubts and only pressed the evidence that would give him permission to invade iraq.

Answer 3

I see that some of your answerers prefer to accept YouTube as a valid source rather than the actual valid and verifiable proof.
Before the last UN team had departed Iraq, they had located and destroyed long range missiles, several tons of chemical arsenals, numerous chemical war heads and discovered a nuclear program far in advance of anything they had expected. Even Scott Ritter, after seven years as a chief weapons inspector for the UN and an outspoken critic of the U.S.'s intentions to invade Iraq, was quoted in a press release as admitting that even though the inspectors had located and destroyed laboratories, production equipment and "most" of the chemical arsenals (including VX nerve agent) he could not be sure or verify that they had destroyed all of Saddam's arsenals.
Perhaps these people who insist that Bush lied feel he should have ignored this intelligence and, despite Saddam's history and dismal compliance with UN resolutions, ASSUMED that Saddam had no WMD's and ASSUMED that, if he did, they would never funnel themselves into the hands of the terrorists.
I think not - we could have GUESSED he had none or we could have KNOWN he had none - I'll choose the latter every time.

Answer 4

To amoral war mongers,no proof is acceptable.AllFACTS are disputed.

As these links attest to WITH VERIFIABLE QUOTATIONS BY BUSH AND CHENEY ,they both made ADAMANT statement that Iraq HAD WMDS at the time war was started.NO "maybe" ,NO "perhaps" no "probably" no " possibly" BUT YES THEY HAD WMDS.

So effective were these lies that at one point over 70 % of Americans were absolutely certain that Iraq was involved in 9/11.

Now where do you think over 210 MILLION AMERICANS got this filthy dispicable lie?

Normally I never respond to people like you who obviously are so morally and ethically crippled you are simply part of the problem,not the solution.

The reason I reply here is to make sure intelligent posters with moral/ethical integrity are made aware of the likes of you and to reject what and who you are out of hand.
I realize none of these URLs even with their stated quotations ,sourses and dates is "proof" to the likes of you but who cares,

Answer 5

You are in love with this question.You seem to think it gives it you some kind of edge. It is not our job to provide proof. It is the administration. They have yet to do this. What amazes me is this isn't an issue any longer. It is nothing more than a by product of is occuring now.

Answer 6

You make too many provisions with your question. Would you believe Bush lied if you were convinced he planned the invasion before 9/11? Just asking...I don't want to look for links as most are just somebody else' opinion anyway. You sound pretty angry, especially at the one you mentioned.

Answer 7

No one can prove that because President Clinton said the same thing when he was president, all the international intelligence showed WMDs in Iraq. To believe that Bush lied is to believe all politicians lied around the world or that Bush some how was brilliant enough to manipulate WMD data before he even decided to run for president.

Answer 8

it was "cherry picked" intelligence that policy was based on...

“THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION deviated from the professional standard not only in using policy to drive intelligence, but also in aggressively using intelligence to win public support for its decision to go to war. This meant selectively adducing data—‘cherry-picking’--rather than using the intelligence community's own analytic judgments (Pillar).”

"intelligence officers were also given benefits...
The Army analysts concluded that it was highly unlikely that the tubes were for use in Iraq's rocket arsenal, a finding that bolstered a CIA contention that they were destined for nuclear centrifuges, which was in turn cited by the Bush administration as proof that Saddam Hussein was reconstituting Iraq's nuclear weapons program."

Answer 9

I do not have a so called link to the television news that had Bush on making one of his idiotic speeches where he did state in plain English.. or as plain as he is able.. that he and his intelligence knew for a fact that Hussein had WM D's. That it was in our best interests to go get 'em. That is what he said. I am sorry I do not record his speeches.. but i sure wish I had.

He not only said it, but Cheney said it, Rumsfeld said it, Rice warned of mushroom cloud.... even Colin Powell, whom I like lied about it... and I believe left his post because he knew it was lies.

So if I do not have a LINK... does not mean it did not happen..Trouble is, even if I had a link.. or had it written in blood, you bush bots would still find an excuse for him.. and it would likely be " its Clinton's fault"

So don't think you are so smart or wise.. you all know, that Bush and WM D's were a piece of crap,. the only joke is that you will never admit it.. I don't even expect you to admit it... but now you tell me just how you justify all those dead in Iraq... what excuse is there for that. What are we doing, who are we saving....

Answer 10

The President's own words condemn him:

"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. "
