BushCo. never directly linked the Taliban to 9/11 either. There is no evidence the Taliban knew about the 9/11 attack in advance, or assisted in executing it. Bush merely told us that the Taliban were harboring and aiding those who attacked us on 9/11. WHICH WAS TRUE.
Then, BushCo. told us that Saddam was harboring, aiding, and training al qaeda. And that the lead 9/11 hijacker met with Iraqi intelligence agents. WHICH WERE FALSE.
The 2006 Iraq Intelligence review explicity stated that Saddam considered radical global islamic jihadists a threat to his own regime. That he never trained or harbored them. In addition, the 2002 NIE stated that Saddam would be unlikely to ever give WMD to Al Qaeda, unless he were attacked or invaded by the US.
The falsehoods, innuendo, and lies that you, Bush, Cheney, etc told us about Saddam and Al Qaeda were false, yet were used as justification to send thousands of americans to their deaths. And to spend upwards of a trillion dollars of taxpayer money. Shameful.
Cheney most certainly linked Iraq with Atta .... that IS linking Iraq with 9/11. period.
It was indeed the fault of the Bush administration...Even if Bush stated there was no connection. Sounds as though you were connecting dots that weren't there hardly Bush's fault.
It was indeed the fault of the Bush administration...
If I were to say in an interview: "I have heard from jreeves' neighbor, that he has been seen out in his back yard having sex with sheep, but we can't be absolutely sure"....
are you suggesting that I would NOT have made a connection between you and the crime of sodomy with animals?
I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet its hard to pronounce...
Bush Lied About Weapons of Mass Destruction?????????????????????????
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years .. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
SO NOW THE DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED, THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND HE TOOK US TO WAR FOR HIS OIL BUDDIES???
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........
So those Democrats who claimed that Saddam had WMD were evidently wrong. They may have even lied too. Yet, they did not have the responsibility of pushing the red button.
actually.. they DID have the responsibility... they (Congress) VOTED for it - I can't believe how many people don't understand the way our government works....
No President can start a way w/o the approval from Congress...
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
not a true statement
actually.. they DID have the responsibility... they (Congress) VOTED for it -
No President can start a way w/o the approval from Congress...
What did they vote for - authorization or war?
Did congress tell the president to declare war?
Okay. I might be wrong. You and MM might help me understand the declaration of war thing. Did congress authorize Bush to take action if and when he saw fit? In other words, in a manner of speaking, did congress say practically say Okay Mr. President. It is up to you now. We give you permission to go to war if you want to or did congress declare war? In other words, in a manner of speaking, did congress practically say Okay. This is war. We are going to war. We, the congess, the president, America is going to war! There is a difference.
a majority of congressional democrats voted against the war.
republicans in congress were nearly unanimous in their votes for the war.
I never said that the quote was not accurate. I said that Gore's statement was not a true statement. He should not have said that. my comments about the other quotes are equally accurate.
