Answer 1

Who do any evil peole lie or cheat about anything? For money or power.

Answer 2

We had a cease fire, not a peace treaty with Iraq. Saddam himself said he had WMD's. The world knew it and belived him. Your question should be why did Saddam lie and say he had WMD's. By the way it was said to keep Iran in check.

Answer 3

Many of these people need a history lesson. Saddam wanted the world to think he had WMD's. Why does the Left conveniently forget this aspect of their argument? They keep saying Bush LIED, but let's look at the FACTS. FOR ONCE, just see things in the context of time. It's getting old.

The Watergate smash-in in touch the robbery of records from Democratic celebration headquarters, in an attempt to attain political comprehend-how, and thereby earnings, over the Nixon administration's fighters. The study into Watergate opened the doorways to a President who changed into increasingly extra paranoid and hateful and a prepared team of subordinates who could do fantastically a lot something, criminal or unlawful, to finish his desires. In different words, severe abuse of means. The WMD subject touching on to the efforts of the administration of George W. Bush to construct a case for the invasion of Iraq. The time period WMD changed into fairly new, and replaced the former "ABC" connotation for guns of mass destruction, really atomic, organic and organic, and chemical (for this reason a, b, c). surely, any weapon that creates mass destruction, jointly with a house-made bomb that destroys subway tracks, enable's say, ensuing in derailment and shortage of existence, may be considered a WMD. It were confirmed by u . s . a . guns inspectors over the years that any guns of "mass" destruction that Iraq would have had contained in the previous were placed and destroyed. for this reason the Bush and neocon attempt to construct a WMD case because the reason of conflict is considered by many to be thoroughly bogus. evidence has been uncovered or disclosed which demonstrates that Bush and his cronies had determined early on of their administration to eliminate Saddam Hussein and occupy Iraq, a minimum of for a sufficient time wherein to ascertain that Hussein and his personal cronies were captured and/or out of means. You be the choose. what's worse, to scouse borrow records of political opponents, or to construct a bogus case for a conflict wherein 1000's of human beings were killed, tens of 1000's heavily wounded or maimed for existence, and many extra tens of 1000's of Iraqis murdered?

Answer 7

I don't think that it was a lie. Maybe just misinformation, but we do know he had chemical weapons because he used them on his own people. Who knows there may be some hidden out there in the desert or they may have been sold to a terriost group when he found out that the US was going to invade. The last act of a desparate man to shame your enemy and make them look like a fool to the entire world and cause conflict within your enemies house.

Answer 8

Did you read where Saddam was putting out false intellegence saying that Iraq had WMDs to keep Iran from invading?

The same reason BJ Bill lied about Monica. Or Carter lied about starting up Contra and having American Spec Ops unknowingly kill hostages.

Answer 10

Were you there when the information was given to the President?

Do you know what discussions took place?

How do you know that they lied? (there is a difference between contorting the truth to decieve and acting on misinformation)

Prove the motive (if you can).

All I see is unverifyible accusations.
