Is there a reason Bush, Cheney and Powell haven't been held accountable for WMD lie?

[Jarhead]

The irony?

Bush could not find the WMD's but he got rid of a murderous dictator.

Obama proved the use of WMD's and has taken a back seat as others prop up a murderous dictator.

LMFAO.....this Obama world is like Bizzarro world.

 

[BlindBoo]

It's nearly 5 years into a new administration and these goons are still walking free.

Can the Democrats please hold them accountable on trial?

Because lying to the American people through surrogates and talking points is not actually a crime?

Because we've have to put the Congress Critters who abdicated their Constitutional responsibility on trial too?

Mostly because we don't want to become a Banana Republic and start jailing and trying leaders of the opposition parties.

 

[BlindBoo]

Please tell me you are aware that Saddam himself said he destroyed his chemical weapons in secret, because he wanted Iran to be afraid of him using them on Iranians. He regretted that decision because that's what led to his demise. If you aren't aware of these simple facts, then you have no business having debates with intelligent people on this subject.

Weren't we being warned of "mushroom clouds." ???

Have they found any nukes?

And yes, we knew Saddam has the chemical weapons that the UNITED STATES provided to him from the 1980's.

Show me the nukes.

Show me the bio weapons.

Show me chemical weapons other than those inert ones that we gave him.

All it takes is Control-C to copy the URL and Control-V to paste it.

You are confused about his nuclear program too? Jesus Christ, you are not well read enough to be in this conversation.

Also, you seem to be fond of demanding links, so where are your links to prove we gave him WMDs? You won't post those links because you'll be laughed out of the room. Take your juvenile conspiracies and kick rocks.

He already had mustard gas and chlorine gas he was using against the Iranians before Raygun took him off the list of nation who supported terrorist. We didn't give him any. We and our allies, sold to him more advance technology and the precursor chemicals (I think those came from a company in Germany). Rayguns State Department approved shipments of Biological cultures from US firms too. No question about it. Not only that but he also started a clandestine Nuclear bomb project that was not discovered until the first gulf war and then by accident....

How The United States Illegally Armed Saddam Hussein

 

[Unkotare]

Neither Saddam nor Assad were enemies of the United States. .

Wow, I didn't think you had any brain cells left to lose, but it seems you have.

 

[Godboy]

If the American sheeple actually knew or found out what had transpired ............. the American sheeple would become so enraged, they would be calling for Nuclear annihilation of Iraq, Islam, and anyone & anything representing or even closely resembling that culture destroyed, as this was the intent of the Sandniggers to start a wAAar of falsehood & gain allies.
As this information cannot be released ............. not even today, maybe 100 years from now or never.
The really fucked up thing about it is, the hard evidence is in plain sight and all around us, just let it go ............ seriously.

You have no business calling anyone "sheeple". You conspiracy tards are the sheep. You buy into every absurd conspiracy that's being peddled by National Enquirer type of "news" sources. Your dumb ass theories have as much credibility as stories about bat boys and mermen.

Quit buying into gossip magazine nonsense you fucking sheep.

Bill Clinton told us that Iraq was developing WMD's before he decided to bomb the snot out of Yugoslavia. Bush gave Saddam ( and the democrat party) a year to comply with UN sanctions and 30% of democrats authorized the mission before they played a game of treason and undermined it. Why isn't Harry Reid in prison for telling the Troops "the war is lost"?

The man who served as the no. 2 official in Saddam Hussein's air force says Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed
Iraq's WMD Secreted in Syria, Sada Says - The New York Sun

When I saw this part of the article:

Democrats have made the absence of stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq a theme in their criticism of the Bush administration's decision to go to war in 2003. And President Bush himself has conceded much of the point; in a televised prime-time address to Americans last month, he said, "It is true that many nations believed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong."

Said Mr. Bush, "We did not find those weapons."

The discovery of the weapons in Syria could alter the American political debate on the Iraq war. And even the accusations that they are there could step up international pressure on the government in Damascus. That government, led by Bashar Assad,

I knew instantly that is was military industrial complex propaganda to invade Syria, Iraq just wasn't enough for them.

Neither Saddam nor Assad were enemies of the United States. Notice a pattern of attacking the wrong countries for these invisible WMD's?

The article present hearsay evidence at best.

Seems those WMD just keep moving back and forth between Iraq and Syria. Of course bush said we did not find them. They were no longer there! Bush was wrong to give Sadaam too much time so he could have them moved. He kept waring Sadaam, and Sadaam was ignoring him. About the 2nd time he ignored him, Bush should have sent the military in. Nobody (at least on the left) would have believed him if he said they were moved! His best option was to accept defeat. He was out-smarted.

 

[Caroljo]

Because there was no such lie, despite what some addled-brained hysterics are told by their bumper stickers.

Wow, we found some depleted and generally inert chemical weapons from the 1980's (that we provided to them).

Great reason to go to war.

My son was there 3 times....no, not everything they found was from 1980's. He said they cleaned stuff up pretty well soon before we got there. And they personally saw the Alqaeda training camps in Iraq that were then abandoned. But libs don't want to believe these things.

 

[Caroljo]

And there's a lot more out there that say the same thing...not sure why you could find them?

Again, it's because all of those articles contain nothing more than hearsay evidence.

What? A statement from Sadaam's own #2 official that says the WMD was flown out of the country is hearsay? Oh...you just won't let yourself believe it since it didn't get reported on MSNBS....

 

[Caroljo]

They were moved to Syria.

Oh God...

link please


Listen, why don't you enlist yourself or your sons, or your grandsons to go fight World War III in Syria.

PM me if you want recruitment information.

I have given you a link.....but why should we argue with you? You have no intention of believing anything we say or prove, why waste our breath on a moron?

 

[blackhawk]

Where to start with this well first being wrong about WMDs in Iraq which they were and lying about it is not the same thing second lying is a sin it's not a crime unless you do so under oath which no one did I hope this has answered the question posed here.

[Lonestar_logic]

It's nearly 5 years into a new administration and these goons are still walking free.

Can the Democrats please hold them accountable on trial?

The reason is that there were WMD in Iraq...you never knew that did ya?

Other than the few we gave to him, weren't they saying he was an imminent threat to the United States?

On June 21, 2006 the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released key points from a classified report from the National Ground Intelligence Center on the recovery of a small number of degraded chemical munitions in Iraq. The report stated that "Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent." However, all are thought to be pre-Gulf War munitions.[119]

These munitions meet the technical definition of weapons of mass destruction, according to the commander of the National Ground Intelligence Center. "These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee. The munitions addressed in the report were produced in the 1980s, Maples said. Badly corroded, they could not currently be used as originally intended, though agent remaining in the weapons would be very valuable to terrorists and insurgents, Maples said.[120]

That the very most that I can find.

If you don't know by now why we went into Iraq then you are a lost cause.

You're beginning to act a lot like a liberal.
