Saddam's WMDs Went To Syria, Then Lebanon....

[BlindBoo]

So the incompetent Bush Administration allowed Iraq to ship all those newly produced WMD and the factories that manufactured them from Iraq while under the No Fly Zone to Syria huh?

Good Job at denigrating President Bushes effectiveness.

Freedom Agenda - Quotes and Facts on Iraq
Together, we must confront the new hazards of chemical and biological weapons and the outlaw states, terrorists, and organized criminals seeking to acquire them. Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of his nation's wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."

President Clinton
State of the Union address
January 27, 1998
"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."

Former President Clinton
During an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live"
July 22, 2003

"Iraq is a long way from Ohio, 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."
"No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators."

Madeleine Albright, President Clinton's Secretary of State
Town Hall Meeting on Iraq at Ohio State University
February 18, 1998

"There is now no incentive for Hussein to comply with the inspectors or to refrain from using weapons of mass destruction to defend himself if the United States comes after him. And he will use them; we should be under no illusion about that."

Joseph Wilson, Advisor to John Kerry 2004 Presidential Campaign
In a Los Angeles Times editorial: "A 'Big Cat' With Nothing to Lose"
February 6, 2003; Page B17

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. 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."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California)
Statement on US Led Military Strike Against Iraq
December 16, 1998

You can list 199 pages of statements, speeches, video's. None of the people making them had the responsibility and authority to take military action. Only one man had that power. Ever since that one man who had the power made his decision he and his supporters along with his advisers and consultants have been running from taking responsibility for their actions. Instead they play a cowardly game of blaming others for their misdeeds, failures and mistakes.

You know you are 100% right! ONE man had to make a decision BASED ON ALL the information he had at hand, opinions of people like you described and yes ultimately responsible for it!
BUT idiots and traitors like YOU HELPEd the enemy!
YOU and idiots like you ENCOURAGED as proven by Harvard study to actually prolong the conflict and when it was finally over here is what citizens of
Iraq thought about the Liberation of their country!!!
First the HARVARD Study!!!
THE EMBOLDENMENT EFFECT
Harvard study asked the simple question:
"Are insurgents in Iraq emboldened by voices in the news media expressing dissent or calling for troop withdrawals from Iraq?

The resounding answer WAS YES!!! according to Radha Iyengar, a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in health policy research at Harvard and Jonathan Monten of the Belfer Center at the university's Kennedy School of Government.
Using data on attacks and variation in access to international news across Iraqi provinces, we identify an “emboldenment” effect by comparing the rate of insurgent attacks in areas with higher and lower access to information about U.S news after public statements critical of the war.
In Iraqi provinces that were broadly comparable in social and economic terms, attacks increased between 7 percent and 10 percent following what the researchers call "high-mention weeks," like the two just before the November 2006 election.
So you are right Bush made the decision and hoped there wouldn't be the idiots like these and obviously YOU that encouraged terrorists:

"Without a question, we need to disarm Saddam. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an
oppressive regime .... 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 ...."Kerry , Jan. 23. 2003

Then the idiot says this:Senator Kerry (D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children.
U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D)"Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
then Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "The war is lost, the surge is not accomplishing anything "

So idiots like the above that WANTED the Liberation of Iraq said Saddam had WMDs turned around and like idiots like YOU HELPED the terrorists!
Finally here is what the Iraqi people thought of the Liberation of Iraq!

"So the Iraq war was, despite all that went wrong, a good thing;
the "overwhelming majority" of Iraqis are (and presumably feel) better off because of it"
The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg put the question to Barham Salih, the former prime minister of Iraqi Kurdistan's regional government and a former deputy prime minister of Iraq's federal government.

"But," he added, "it's important to understand where we started from. ...
Literally hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were sent to mass graves.
Ten years on from the demise of Saddam Hussein, we're still discovering mass graves across Iraq.
And Iraqis are better off without Saddam Hussein --
the overwhelming majority of Iraqis are better off without Saddam Hussein."
So the Iraq war was, despite all that went wrong, a good thing; the "overwhelming majority" of Iraqis are (and presumably feel) better off because of it; and the fault for all that has gone wrong is ultimately with Iraqis themselves: It's a remarkable point of view to encounter in June 2013.
10 Years After the Fall of Saddam How Do Iraqis Look Back on the War - The Atlantic

But in spite of traitors like YOU these people are better off. They have higher standard of living!
BUT you idiots like the above idiot DEMOCRATS wanted our military to die for their political future! YOU wanted it !

The real issue here is that all the Rat big shots issued dire warnings of Saddam's treachery after Desert Storm....they all were convinced he had chemical and biological weapons (which he did) and that he was working on a nuclear weapon (he was)......the problem is they didn't want to DO anything about it...that's the "progressive" stance in foreign policy....issue haunting warnings and then change the subject when asked why it's being allowed to continue.

Bush DID something about Saddam and forced him to ship his WMD caches out of the country which the russians were only too happy to help him do since most of that shit was russian.......So Saddam replaced his regular border guards with his Republican Guard who waved through Spetsnaz troops driving those trucks.

None of this matters to the leftist vermin here.....same as the Plame scheme...they refuse to admit they were duped by Rat big shots who laugh at their stupidity. What we see here is their refusal to believe what is undeniably true....half-ass personal attacks and sneering "did not" replies are all they're capable of....and what their elite find so amusing while they pocket the cash they could never earn in the private sector.

And Valerie Plame was hidden in the back of one talking on a field radio to Joe Wilson at a cocktail party at the D.C. Hilton....if only they could find a producer to make another movie about her fearless "covertness".

Riiight .... because that's what countries do just before they're invaded ... they give away their weapons to enemy nations.

What better ammunition is there than having half the invader's population believe they are attacking a "peaceful nation that never attacked us"? Saddam was told in no uncertain terms what would happen if he used WMDs against us....Hitler never used his mustard gas in WW2 because he knew we had more of it than he did and had been gassed himself in France. You don't know anything about history or military tactics yet you mouth off like you do...why is that?

 

[g5000]

As part of their WMD world tour (sponsored by Viagra), Hussein's chemical and biological weapons went to Syria, then Lebanon, then 35 cities in 48 days in the Midwest as an opening act for the Dave Matthews band.

Sarin appeared on a VH1 reality show last year to talk about the breakup of the band and revealed rampant drug abuse. Rumors that Sarin is gay were also confirmed.

 

[g5000]

The WMDs are now on their way to the Ukraine. Putin has 'em! I swear!

 

[g5000]

Hussein was the only guy who had the formula for WMDs and the recipe died with him. Therefore, any WMDs out there are clearly his.

 

[Siete]

Bull-Shit USMC ... ... the mid east got WMD's, had WMD's, so what ? they never used them against the US ...

never say die, no matter how dead it is. The only thing that'll shut up RW BS is death itself ... theirs.
