Why does Bush lie so frequently? WMD's, Plame affair, Iraq-Al Queda connection?

Question

So immoral, don't you think? But, still Clinton's sex with a large woman is more serious. Let's not forget that.

Answer 1

Because it comes so naturally.

Answer 2

1) WMD's - intelligence agencies at the time (including French intelligence and various UN departments) BELIEVED Sadddam and his Baathists had chemical, biological, and radioactive weapons. Saddam encouraged these beliefs, feeling that they'd be a deterrent to invasion.

2) Valerie Plame's husband wrote an op-ed piece for the NY Times describing the mission she sent him on to search for evidence of Iraqi WMD's. Then, she's surprised her cover was blown? Come on, man!!

3) Saddam Hussein did give $25,000 to Palestinian suicide bombers; he did send missiles against Israel; he did invade Kuwait and attacked Saudi Arabia; he did engage in a war with Iran that cost millions of lives; he did harbour bad people within his borders, and he was a terrible, brutal despot.

He also tried to assasinate an American President. But I guess if it's a Republican, you guys just don't care!!

Clinton had credible and numerous rape and sexual harassment allegations against him; numerous financial improprieties; and a number of his close associates (Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Jim MacDougal) died under very mysterious circumstances.

So enough with the lefty ********. Your crowd is far worse than we are.
At least Bush's problems were the result of his trying to PROTECT America - Clinton's problems arose because he wanted to steal money and get laid!!
Which seems more immoral to you? Foreign policy actions, or rape, perjury, and theft (and possibly murder)??

Answer 3

I think that Bush and the C.I.A. truly believed that Iraq had WMDs. Saddam intentionally and deliberately gave them every reason to think that. Saddam believed that the fear of Iraq having WMD would deter USA and especially Iran of attacking. So, he played up the charade until it was too late. His strategy backfired on him.

Saddam is said to have told an F.B.I. handler this a few days before he was hung. So the F.B.I. guy says in a book that was recently released.

Al Qaeda is surely in Iraq now, but was no friend of Saddam's when he was in power. That was purely misleading the USA public or a severe intelligence F.U.

Clinton got his tit in the ringer for lying about his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinski, not because of copping BJ's from her. You know that he was disbarred from ever practicing law in his home state of Arkansas ... not that he really gives two dumps or needs to.

Answer 4

1. If Bush lied about WMD then so did B. CLinton, H. CLinton, Kerry, Edwards, the UN, Italy, Britain, and every other country. remember UN resolution 1441 said "Recognizing the threat Iraq’s non-compliance with Council resolutions and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to international peace and security"

Hussein himself later said he wanted the world to think he had WMD as security against Iran.

2. Bush didn't out Plame.

3. She me a quote before the war where Bush made an Iraq-Al Queada connection. I don't think there is one. Although, Hussein was paying the families of suicide bombers.

Answer 5

Bush's lying about national security & starting a war under false pretenses are far worse "crimes" than Clinton's that did not affect his job as President.

The inspectors said their were no WMDs. They were on the ground in Iraq just before the war.

Al Qaeda only came to Iraq after the war started. If that's a criteria why are Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen not part of the "Axis of Evil"?

Bush clearly said Saddam was involved with 9/11; and said "Anyway, he tried to kill my Daddy".

I think Bush lies because he feels he can get away with it & his superego is not well formed.
His brother's all lie, cheat & steal also.
His father belongs to the Carlyle Group. He was raised in a world made up of wealthy corporations where ethics were missing.

Answer 6

Actually Iraq did have WMD's at one time. Those were those things that the UN was destroying after the first Persian Gulf war. The problem was the # of WMD's they destroyed was not the # Iraq was suppose to have. Accounting error? This is politics and you were spinned. Before the war everyone was certain Saddam had WMD's and after everyone was sure he never had them. Neither were facts, just speculation. So get off the idiot bandwagon and think for yourself, don't wait till after the decision is made and the outcome is known.

Answer 7

There were WMD's there. Or did you forget that Saddam used them to kill 180,000 of his own people with them?

The Clintons told more lies than Bush does.

Answer 8

Try to name a couple of his lies. You can't because he hasn't lied. WMDs were found in Iraq there was several stories done on them and at least two of those stories were from the liberal favorite LIEberal news media CNN. To claim he lied without any proof is "Bearing false witness" which is against religion so if you claim to be a Christian, you are dooming yourself in the after life.

Answer 9

It's standard procedure for neocon Republicans. Reagan lied and George H. W. Bush lied. Dubya is just following in their footsteps. Money and power are far more important to him than doing his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land.

Answer 10

Bush certainly capitalized on the unpopularity of Clinton. It seems as though wiping your a.s.s on the constitution as Bush has consistently done, or starting a War because he needed a whipping boy, is not as much of a crime as getting head by someone other than your wife, then trying to cover it up. Uh? am i missing something ? Hillary should have tossed Bill out, and we should have done the same to Bush.

Answer 11

Clinton said the same thing about WMD's......The Plame affair was proved a hoax, Armitage was the leaker. NOT BUSH OR CHENEY!. And Sadam was paying the family of suicide bombers. and Al Queda IS IN IRAQ.
