Was that based on the forged yellowcake document that the CIA said to pull from Bush's speech?

I think Bush and Condi were smoking mushrooms at the time...

Answer 2

it was calculated for effect in getting the American people while at a vulnerable moment in the wake of 9/11 they knew that we would be in a rage to strike back at whoever the government so chose and it worked to perfection the mushroom cloud statements were done strictly as a scare tactic and it has worked each and every time the Bush Administration is in trouble

Answer 3

There's no way in the world that Al Qaeda could afford the postage charges for mailing a nuclear bomb via airmail.

Answer 4

Since Bush never used a forged document concerning uranium to justify the use of force against Iraq, then your question is quite pointless, no?

Answer 5

The neo-cons in the Bush administration wanted to invade Iraq for their own reasons and they showed no shame in using any propaganda technique that they could to promote the war. The MSM was mostly complicit in that con job on the American people.

Answer 6

Because they're 'closet liberals'!
I say this because one of the common, erroneous assumptions made on YA is that liberals use emotions, rather than facts, to back their arguments.

Answer 7

totally bogus evidence designed to take the country into a war

Answer 8

Answer 9
