When one states that the Bush admin lied to invade Iraq, why do neo-cons assume it is about WMDs?

Question

Versus:

Yellowcake purchase attempts
Aluminium tubes for uranium enrichment
Mobile chem labs
And being involved with 9/11

The Bush admin DID LIE about all of the above and only their inner circle and the CIA had proof that they were lying.

Bonnie T (below) BRB

IAEA Report on Iraq NOT enriching Uranium
http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Statements/2003/ebsp2003n005.shtml

(Condi lied and stated conclusively that these tubes were to be used to enrich uranium)

CIA doubts

In early October 2002, George Tenet called Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley to ask him to remove reference to the Niger uranium from a speech Bush was to give in Cincinnati on October 7. This was followed up by a memo asking Hadley to remove another, similar line. Another memo was sent to the White House expressing the CIA's view that the Niger claims were false; this memo was given to both Hadley and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

(Bush pulled willfully ignored the CIA and made the claim in the STU. The CIA knew he was using invalid info and tried to stop him.)

Colin Powell already admitted that the CIA mislead him into making the "Mobile Chem Labs" accusation at the UN.

Everyone and their next of kin KNOW by now that Iraq was NOT involved in the attack on 9/11 as Cheney relentlessly stated.

time_wounds_all_heel (below) Your dare has been addressed.

Now I dare you to turn off all bias and examine the above information. I have faith that you can.

====================

Answer 1

Any faith that these republicans will deal with the facts impartially is misplaced.
Before the war in Iraq, the Bush administration had a full blown propaganda campaign to sell the war to the American people. For several months, day after day, they have the drums of war beating. The campaign was intense, diverse, and professional. GWG and his people lied constantly and even poor Colin Powell participated in it.
They are trying to do the same in the case against Iran.
The American press was an accomplice in this crime by being to willing to participate in the propaganda.

Answer 2

Bush did lie about being a fiscal conservative.
His administration is one of the most veto free in history. Every spending bill the Democrats or the Republicans sent got signed. Spending is nuts.
He put nearly $300 Bn into social welfare in his first three years which is more than the entire Johnson Administration adjusted for inflation.
How come no one talks about that lie??????? Are the Democrats OK with that one?
Another $110 Bn to Katrina relief and they can't figure out what the hell to do with it all in the gulf. Why don't we hear about what happened to all the unused money? Democrats OK with that lie too?
How come we never hear about how he released frozen North Korean assets against the wishes of the treasury department who were investigating counterfieting, as a gesture of good will? Are the Democrats OK with that one too?

Answer 3

Bush did what he was elected do to: remove Saddam

The US Congress authorized the Iraq liberation, the President merely enacted the will of the American people.

We were clamoring for Saddam's ouster long before Bush was elected or WMD was discussed

Answer 4

The Bush admin. made the bad mistake of listening to Clinton ,Gore, Kerry, Kennedy and Hillary. all of them swore up down and sideways that Saddam had WMDs and should be dealt with , whatever it took. But that bunch, being Dems. only told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Answer 5

And the tooth fairy left you a centrifuge under your pillow....

More anti American drivel from a terrorist sympathizer.

You like Iraq and Saddam so much? Leave the USA and join the terrorists where you can put your jihad where your mouth is. Then we can have a fair shot at re educating you...permanently !

Answer 6

The point is, 9/11 was blamed on arabs, and the war was started in Afghanistan (shouldn't have been)...when the world started getting bored and forgetting about the whole thing (since osama was obviously not gonna get caught), they had to do something that would garner public support again...so they tied iraq to 9/11 and drummed up paranoia, then BAM public support for the invasion...

Answer 7

i believe this question desires to be asked many times and as quickly as extra. people could remember and learn from this travesty that some politicians think of we are so stupid that we are going to believe what they say. only like Bush I stated "examine my lips". We could scrutinize all this is asserted to us and get those out of workplace that overtly devoid of remorseful approximately misinform us. regrettably, i think of in his zeal to be seen a reliable and honest Pres dent, Obama says it somewhat is superb to circulate forward. I agree, yet my thought to circulate forward is to prosecute.

Answer 8

The yellowcake purchase was an attempt, not a completed sale.

The aluminum tubes purchase was an attempt, not a completed sale

Mobile chem labs, no idea where they went, but they were never found.

Being involved with 9/11, Bush never said Iraq was involved with 9/11. He said that Iraq had terrorist training camps in it, which they did.

Answer 9

But but but the libs say it's about oil Will you please make up your minds


Nice link Try this one on for size

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."
