...when he said that Iraq was "unholy axis of terrorists, drug traffickers and organized international criminals"?  \n\nWas he lying to us when he said that Saddam had "an offensive biological warfare capability--notably 5,000 gallons of botulinum, which causes botulism; 2,000 gallons of anthrax; 25 biological-filled Scud warheads; and 157 aerial bombs"?\n\nWas the President after Iraq's oil when he said that "We have to defend our future from these predators of the 21st century... They will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein"?\n\nWas he falsifying evidence when he said that Iraqis "literally spirited evidence out of the back doors of suspect facilities as inspectors walked through the front door. And our people were there observing it and had the pictures to prove it"?\n\nJust curious.

You can always tell when he is lying, his lips are moving. He is as corupt as any leader I have ever seen in my 60 years on earth. He has surrounded himself with more corruption. He should go directly from the white house to jail. He shouldn't pass go and he should not collect $200

From a Liberal.\nI don't believe the best about Saddam, where did you get that? He has a heinous track record.\nYes he lies.\nYes he might have moved those bombs to Syria. Might.\n\nNow, will you stop lumping us all in one category? Sheesh, what are you after?\nI hate and mistrust Saddam. Simple answer. Period.\n\nHappy?\nA simple answer is all that I require from you.

Liberals will never publicly apologize to Bush....\nAnd I don't think he lied...maybe he was misinformed, but the news yesterday changes things....\n\nAnd...have you seen the new conspiracy theories circulating??? Now that some WMDs have been found....Bush planted them there.....\nThat's right, I think I saw him in the middle of the night...out there with a shovel.....

LIES? what LIES?  All we hear from those that appose the war is lies were told.  So, we don't need to be there eh??  What about ousting Sadaam, who is KNOWN world wide to be an evil dictator hell bent on murdering and torturing his own people.  He's OUT.  What about women and children allowed now to go to school, to get proper health care (provided by the US) electricy is up and running, libraries are open, andWhen some claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, state the following…\n\nFDR…led us into WWII.  Germany never attacked us: Japan did.\nFrom 1941 –1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.\nTruman….finished that was and started one in Korea.  North Korea never attacked us.\nFrom 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, and average of 18,334 per year.\n\nJFK..started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.  Vietnam never attacked us.\nJohnson…turned Vietnam into a quagmire.  From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, and average of 5,800 per year.\nClinton…went to war in Bosnia without UN of French consent.  Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered OSB’s head on a platter three times by the Sudan and did nothing.\nOSB has attacked us on multiple occasions.\n\nIn the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has:\nLiberated two countries\nCrushed the Taliban\nCrippled al-Qaida\nPut nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot.\nCaptured a terrorist who slaughtered over 300,000 of his own people.\n\nThe Dems are complaining and whining about how long the war is taking, but…\nIt took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian Compound.  That was a 51-day operation.\nWe’ve been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.\n\nIt took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after he drove his Olds off the Chappaquiddick Bridge.\n\nIt took less time to take Iraq than it took to count, and then re-recount the votes in Florida.\n\nOur Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB.  Military moral is high.\n\nThe biased media and Bush Hating Libs are hoping we are too ignorant to realize facts.   For those of you who can't see for your hatred, why don't you just TRY and learn FACTS before you spew your hatred.\n\nAnd PLEASE, don't tell me that 9/11 is a Gvt Coverup, you sound soooo retarded when y'all say that.  YOU know and I know it was Muslim/Islamic extremists bent on killing US all, that INCLUDES you lefty whining liberals

Went before a congressional hearing and said that he and every other American in Vietnam committed war crimes. So, is he a war criminal or a liar?\n\nHas recorded in Congression Record that it is "seared, seared" into his memory that President Nixon sent him on secret ops into Cambodia on Christmas 1968. Nixon wasn't president until January 1969, and his crew and commander somehow don't remember this. Oops, another lie from the 'hero'.\n\nDozens upon dozens of men who served with him and alongside him debunk his hero status, with signed affadavits. Kerry has failed to provide his full records (Bush release all of his) so that the people could verify Kerry's accounts. Is he hiding something? Must be.\n\nWhile still in the Naval Reserves, and while the Vietnam war was still going, he travelled to Paris to confer with the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese during their negotiations with US reps. This is probably why he was dishonorably discharged - for supporting the enemy while we were still at war.\n\nHe's a snob, a boob, an arrogant socialist socialite.\n\nA pathetic excuse for a nominee.\n\nWhat's scary is this jackass was nearly elected.

You can count on me.  What happened in this country, that people haven't stood up against the Bastard of the U.S. (I mean President) LOOOOOOOOONG before now??!!!!  Why are we so complacent to let one of our own murder innocent people every single day??!!  Bring back the '60s, where we protested and actually stopped a war by doing so!!!  And bring back the '70s, where one Republican had the decency to say that there was a "cancer on the presidency", and another good Republican asked, "What did the president know, and when did he know it?"!!  LET US, DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN ALIKE, PUT AN END TO THE LIES, HYPOCRACY, MURDER, ILLEGALITIES, AND MADNESS OF THIS INSANE ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!!!

If it was a lie, it was not just Bush! Check out this quote from the liberal queen of flip-flop, Nancy Pelosi:\n\n"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." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

NO!!if any of what bush told us before we invaded iraq was true then maybe i could condone being there???? but every single thing was a lie and was blamed on false or poor intelligence??? bull****!i am a retired naval officer from the first gulf war and i'll tell you like i told everyone from the start!! BUSH LIED!!!!!!! now he refuses to admit any wrong doing and our troops will continue to be killed for NOTHING!!! THE WHOLE THING WAS A SHAM TO START WITH!! every other country in the world knew that from the start. most americans followed blindly into a ideological, useless war that will only result in dead soldiers and trillions of our tax dollars spent to support a terrorist nation that WILL have another saddam running it within 5 years!! JUST WATCH AND LEARN PEOPLE!I'VE BEEN THERE!!!!!!!!

I can't believe the number of people who seemingly want to take the side of Saddam.  As far as I am concerned, the man refused to follow the rules, he wanted to pretend he had them, so I think we should have acted as if he did.  I would rather be safe than sorry.  I have seen too many reports that show the people are greatful for our intervention.  I think there is still a possibility that there are weapons hidden somewhere.
432613
Your right he did admit it.....he says we can't leave the oil to the  terriorists. Well Mr.Bush it was their oil in the first place who are we to take from their country?!?!?! Not to mention Mr bush has stock in the oil people...yes he is lining his pocket with money that  he makes from the oil. Not a surprise this war is really about making money for all those jerks in the White House and their buddies. Maybe the rest of the people will open their eyes now to the truth!!! Then again the Bush followers ignore all the things he says to prove things like this. Strange people!!!
453803
Gees, I could have sworn it was Bush who stood on the Kuwaitt Border telling the Iraqi's to overthrow their government! And we gave Saddam the gas!\n\nWonder what would happen in the US if we tried to overthrow the government and how many would be killed! But that's ok! Right?\n\nWe didn't say a damn thing when he used it on Iran, in fact we effectively kept the UN from sanctioning him by using our veto powers!\n\nIt's ok for us! Just no one else!
618592
I have no doubt that in fact he is telling the truth.\nIt is FACT that Saddam indeed had WMD's and people who say he didn't have them are ignoring the facts,and are generally just anti-Bush liberals..cranking out more spin and lies to villianize Bush.\nAny country that assists this type of thing should be held accountable for their actions.\nUntil murderous dictators and terrorist groups have no place to hide they will exist.

You start with a falsehood that carries on throughout. But that's the leftist way, isn't it? Lie, lie, lie, and lie some more - because there are plenty of useful idiots who will believe you.\n\nThere were numerous reasons for the invasion of Iraq - their failure to have proven they destroyed their caches of WMD was just one of many reasons.\n\nSo, are you just gullibly stupid or are you a weasel manipulative lying sack of manure? Why would you lie to your son?
616208
Well. look at his statements, and how they tend to change when light is shed on the unlikelihood of their veracity. It's almost like a con-man trying to tailor his answers to fit the new questions.\nSeriously though, you talk about at least four different issues: \n\n• WMDs and the case for the war with Iraq;\n\nEveryone but bush (to his discredit) has admitted that clearly, more information was needed to justify going to war. Moreover, it was the clear politicization of intelligence (and probably more than a bit of corporate interest) that led the White House to be concerned with the Mideast growing unstable and interrupting the flow of oil from the region. By taking the initiative of utilizing the troops already in place in the region, he made the critical error of not arranging to have larger, more powerful countries back his play. An argument has been made that he chose to make America the powerful lead partner in this war/venture so as to ensure that America had primary superpower access to Iraq's oil supplies (and not have to quibble with Russia or China). A fairly reasonable course of action, if you are practicing realpolitik (like Kissinger and Rumsfeld do)...and consider the lives spent protecting oil interests a bargain.\n\n• Regime Change;\n\nWell, let's face it: Saddam was a pretty icky man, and his two sons were strong candidates for Dick of the Week when they eventually assumed the reins of power from dear old Dad. That being said, it should be important to note that the bush Administration does not intend to allow either an Islamic fundamentalist or America-unfriendly government. Watch and see if I have not foretold the future here...\n\n• Democracy int he Mideast; and\n\nThere is no saying that our flavor of Democracy is something that should be instituted over there. we have spend some time fine-tuning it so it (debateably) works forus. The folk in that region - well, in that part of the world, I think - are used to having their fortunes dictated to them at the point of a gun. Not much freedome there, black or white. No shades of gray, as democracy is (and to my reckoning SHOULD be).\nAsking them to adopt a government like ours is like throwing a 6-year old into shark-infested waters and expecting them to not only learn to swim, but to eat the sharks as well. Democracy is truly brain-bending work..maybe a bit out of the reach for folks trying to find a way to keep the lights on and the bullets out of the guns. they need time, not someone looking over their shoulders all the time telling what they should be doing.\nWhat might work better for these sorts of places is a theocratic (meaning religious-based) republic set into place. A moderate government will almost always lead to eventual democracy, but it allows the government to control the rate at which these freedoms are introduced. so as to acclimate the citizenry to them gradually.\n\n• the viability of the democratic process in Palestine.\n\nIt is viable, but it's going to take a long time. Old wounds held for over 60 years (and not millenia, as some uneducated cretins would have you think) do not heal overnight, or even in a single generation.\nGrace is required on all four sides (the Palestinians, the Israelis, the Islamic support arising from nation-states and NGOs, and the capital-driven remainder), and patience as well.\nIf Hamas wants to be taken seriously, it cannot  - I repeat CANNOT - condone violence with the end product being the destruction of the Israeli state. Advocating the erasure of another people's society is not a good way to get that society of people to help mend fences and let go of old grudges. Countries - and people too - are a lot alike in that way. \n\nSo that was the long answer to your question. the short answer is as follows: Bush changes the purpose of why we have soldiers on the ground in Iraq because he's searching for a way to maintain/manipulate the American people's focus on HIS goals, w

Bush was elected because we have a corrupt goverment and also because his brother is the gov. of Flordia (the state where all the confusion took place and thus turned the tide in his direction)  Yes, I think in his spare time he wears a TARD helmet and drools.  He probably rides a short bus to his functions and frequently wets himself.  Pray this next 2 years go fast.  Also, next time remember to vote Democratic.  What is the current # of soldjers that have been killed????? I think it is over 3,000 lives ended now.  And not 1 WMD found.  What a RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
