Am i the only one who thinks that George Bush is strong arming these oil-rich countries? I have yet to see any weapon of mass destruction! The FACTS speak for themselves. He lied to US, and not the United States, "US" people!!!

netjr:... you mean they were doing all the things Saudi Arabia is doing basically... oh yeah... that would clearly not be worth it... you don't have that many links just out of coincidence... \n\n*meanwhile... Bush and the Saudi King walks of into the sunset holding hands*\n\nwerk2much2000: why is it you Conservatives run on here when Rush says something like this, like the Clinton thing with VERY shaky links (The 9-11 report found no evidence of it).. but you "highly doubt" everything else?\n\nS. Leroy: what is the "end all be all" then? God forbid we focus on the mastermind of the man that killed 3,000... sounds like an EXCELLENT PLACE TO START.... instead let's take over Iraq who did nothing to us and has very vague links to terror and had nothing to do with 9-11?\n\nwatty: I can see your point, but many conservatives, I don't know if you did, said a lot of bad things about Clinton "not taking a deal" with folks that were just as shaky... just saying...

i heard about this\n\na couple of days ago it was weird like 3 or 4 post came in just like this one "why won't liberals believe the truth about WMD's" and the like.\n\nApparently on fox Sen. R. Santorum went on and made these funny yet completely wrong claims that they found WMD's.\nWhat gets funnier is that Fox made a big deal about it, like a exclusive or special report.\n\nUnfortnatley, it was all not only misleading but desprate and sad.\n\nFor example the person posting this claims "500 WMD's" \nWTF right?   But they are not Nuclear or atomic or but canasters of musturd gas aquired before  1991. These are what would be and are considered convential weapons, note by the way they weren't used because they didn't work.\n\nWhat is also sad is the way the person phrased his statement "recently declassified"\nTo the average bumkin or tourist he could get away with lying like that.  but  March 2005 is more than a year ago.\n\nThe weapons we not usable. Deulfer had reported on these and still concluded in his final report that there were no WMD's\n\n\nThe dishonesty of the poster is pathetic because clearly these cansiter are not the reason our brave men and women in uniform have died.\n\nSecondly the presdient wasn't referring to cansiters of convenital weapons when making his case.\n\nThird the white house would have gloted had they found legitimate WMD.\n\nFourth Colin Powell is on record saying the UN speech was a sham.\n\nFifth, other than fox news, no legitmate news source will say this. \n\nhttp://mediamatters.org/items/200606230008\n\n Most uniformed, and gulible people,  "continue to ignore conclusive assertions of intelligence officials that the degraded chemical munitions found were not, in fact, in the category of "weapons of mass destruction" that the U.S. was looking for at the time of the invasion. They also ignore the Iraq Survey Group's (ISG) September 2004 final report (also known as the Duelfer report), which noted that degraded chemical munitions had already been found in Iraq, and that they were not proof of an existing chemical weapons stockpile or of a renewed Iraqi chemical weapons program. Indeed, former ISG head Charles Duelfer stated that the munitions hyped by Santorum and Hoekstra do not qualify as weapons of mass destruction, though they may still pose a local threat.\n\n\nMaybe next time right..\n\nPS Democrats were decieved into voting for the war, the white house present information contested by the CIA as fact...\ngo here truth seekers..\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/view/

SAddam had nothing to do with our being there to begin with. Our IDIOT president saw an opportunity to IMPRESS his DADDY because SAddam tried to have his dad killed back in the day- Remember, there were NO WMD's at all. NONE. We should not have gone there- and everyone seems to have forgotten that Osama is the one who admitted to the 911 attacks, yet we apparently dont care about finding him. When theres all this oil to be stolen by occupation in Iraq. Does anyone ever wonder how OPEN TO ATTACK having so many of our military in Iraq that we have made the United States? We have so little soldiers left to protect our own country that we couldnt provide support to help out victims of the Katrina Hurricane until it was already too late. It is ONLY a matter of time before the UNITED STATES becomes INVADED and OCCUPIED, and you think Im kidding or crazy? We couldnt even know when a CHINESE SUB was tailing one of our ships until THE CHINESE decided to let us know about it. We are overconfident and vunerable to attack. Just wait and see when the shit truly hits the fan and you find that it takes a week or more for the US to get its troops back in the US from IRAQ to protect its own soil. The chinese army outnumbers us 4 to 1- and most of our army isnt even in our own country. Do the math.

It's mystifying to me as well.  It also seems that most of the people who still believe this think George Bush is the be all and end all and hang on his every word.  Well...he's admitted they had NO connection, several times.  That he keeps trying to connect them in some of his speeches in an underhanded way keeps these sheep baaing away.  Terrorists are in Iraq now, thanks to us blowing the country wide open for them, but they sure weren't there before we invaded.  But it's that fine point that gives Bush the ammunition to continue talking about Iraq and terrorists in the same breath.  Sort of a Catch-22 that Bush uses to his advantage.  That there are people who can't make that distinction is a bit scary.

The US is fighting Al Queda in Iraq.  They have been doing so ever since we blew the country wide open and gave them extremely safe passage into a confused and disassembled nation.  \n\nI did read your sources.  The first one led me to one question.  GW has been desperate to prove Al Queda was in Iraq before 911.  He hasn't been able to find proof, so he has admitted publicly, and more than once, that Iraq had no connection to 911.  If these scads of documents prove his case, why isn't he calling for the proof to give to the American public?  Big question.  After all, GW has pretty much done what he pleases in office, it's resembled a dictatorship more than a Presidency.  Why hasn't he made a big deal out of this? If true, it would be huge for him and his party.  The fact that the Weekly Standard is a neoconservative publication couldn't possibly have a bearing on their reporting could it?  Hmmm...\n\nYour second source included a statement that there is no hard evidence.  Enough said about that.  With this Administration?  After the whole "they've got WMDs" debacle?  Yes, I want proof, not conjecture.\n\nYour third source states what we already know.  Yes, terrorists are now crawling all over Iraq, and we can thank our President and his Administration for that.  He's given them a brand new place to dodge, hide and plan our demise.  Good job.

This latest issue with Bush approving the turning over of control of our major ports to an Arab country is more proof that this president is clueless on how to keep America strong and safe.  While I very much approved of his appointments to the Supreme Court, over all I can think of no other president that has single handedly done more to destroy this country.  You want me to list a few topics? The economy, 8 trillion dept & counting, the enviornment & global warming, human rights-torture, our border crisis, the non-response to the Katrina disaster due to appointing one of his cronies as Fema director, creating a war that looks to have no end  while abandoning the legitamate one in Afghanistan, sending our troops, the best & bravest in the world, into battle without enough numbers or equipment and no clear objective... I could go on and on... anybody else?

OK, OK you are right, we went to Iraq to blindly muder and kill woman and children. Comforting others is not our goal, it is kill, kill, for oil. Look at what we have gain by our highest ever oil prices right now. I mean what is wrong with us Yanks. Lets face it we should know that all our Presidents think and act exactly the same no matter who they are or what year it is or what party. I mean this person is right, we are stupid and unknowledgeable about the world and we do live in the dark ages. What is wrong with Regan for putting the pressure on Russia to bring down the wall in Germany and end Communism in that country? Why in heavens name did we rescue those people from Mt. Pinatubo? Why are we willing to help so many countries in need when the chips are down? Why do those nations who rake us over the coals come to us when evil is knocking at their doors? Why? Thank you sir for giving us that just do kick in the rear because us stupid Americans desirve it. God Bless America!!!!

In one word nopes, definitely NOT. I agree with your views on most of what youve said. I just want to ask George Bush one thing, who made him the judge and the jury? Who gave him the license to 'liberate' countries of their autocratic rulers? If he's so concerned about the world being free and fair, then is he suffering from partial blindness that he cant see Cuba, Zaire, Mozambique and Pakistan? Or is it that these countries aren't rich enough? Plus, he didn't have enough knowledge or respect for the Iraqi sentiments or ethos, and what's happening right now at Iraq - the state of perpetual civil war - is thir own doing. But one thing that I can't figure out, about which I hope you'll enlighten me is that, is the average american stupid? If not, then how come the 'big brother' got re-elected?

Hmmm......I remember a couple years ago, bush said something like this (direct quote):\n\n"knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."\n\nYeah, I remember that, I was sitting in 105:H International Studies at Washington University when he said that, it was a reference to "Iraq's" "Nuclear technology" that we all know now that he never even had.....whooopsy, guess we can't use that phrase again....\n\nThey've been threatening Israel for the last 30 years, in fact you act as if Israel is so vulnerable, while as a matter of fact they are the ones that have ballistic missiles and atomic capablities, you act as if Iran is the bully===right.....hmmmm yeah did you get the memo? \n\n------------\n\nI don't like your attitude when it comes to describing their leaders either, I have my own feelings towards most Islamic extremists as I do for Christian extremists (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson), but I don't go as far to label them and make a racial slur...you need to have some decency, and I know your probably quite young, however better to learn now than never right?

Hey Osama, I have a question for you. How did GW Bush know that you had the WMDs?\n\nAnswer: - because he has the receipt.

Yes, I too believe that the biggest TERRORIST on the face of this earth if any is MR BUSH. I just can't understand why he is killing Millions innocents for one man. I think he should "STOP SUCKING BLOOD FOR OIL".

NO!  He has lied too many & too much to the American people.  He has no Idea how the rest of us live because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.  He has tried to push his religious beliefs off on us, he stole the election in Fla. so he abuses power.  And as far as the was in Iraq, he even fixed that to suit his own purposes.  There were no wmds, no terrorists except Suddam.  And now we are stuck in a quagmire where our brothers, fathers, boyfriends, uncles & other love ones are dying every day.

Well, it is a double standard. They started the war because of "weapons of mass destruction", where are these weapons? I am sure America have more weapons of mass destruction in their own country, in fact the USA is the only country who has ever used such weapons (Japan). It is obvious that it is not about sorting out the Middle East, because now there are even more problems over there. Either Bush is "Satan", or just plain stupid. Or a mixture of both.

Hey suzyQ. You can say what you want about Clinton, but he cared what was going on at home. Granted, he lied, but about a woman. But lets go over Bush's lies, shall we?. First, it was weapons of mass destruction. Oh sorry, I was wrong. Well, lets get the madman Saddam out, and all will be well. That done, lets fight terror. He changes his mind like people change their socks. And troops are dying every day for it. Presidents have faced impeachment for less.

The story has been reported on various news media. The problem is that the version of story that Fox "news" is running isn't the whole truth. The WMD we went to war for have not been found. We did not go to war to find decades-old chemical weapons that had been buried since the Iran-Iraq War. We were looking for WMD proving an ongoing weapons capability that could pose a threat to world peace, not these aging remnants. President Bush has already accepted the findings in the Duelfer Report dismissing these weapons as irrelevant. (See link below)\n\nMore importantly, we already knew about those weapons and turned the other cheek when they were originally produced. Google "Rumsfeld" "Reagan" and "Saddam Hussein" and you'll learn all about the U.S. support of the Iraqi ruler during the Iran-Iraq War, when we supported one monster (Hussein) in the hopes of defeating another (Khomeini). We knew at that time that Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons against his enemies and his own people, but we did nothing about it. Or more accurately, we signed a piece of paper saying we disapproved of his use of chemical agents, but we continued cutting deals with him because he was fighting a common enemy. We even sold him some of the chemicals that he used to construct these weapons because he seemed like the lesser of two evils at the time. Ironically, we were therefore partly responsible for creating the monster that he is today.\n\nAs a result, the real reason why the WMD story isn't any bigger is because the Republicans want it just big enough for their conservative supporters to hear it and say to themselves, "They found WMD!" but not so loud that people actually start asking questions about where and how these chemical weapons were manufacture or, more importantly, about who supplied Iraq with the raw materials to make them. That would make Reagan, Rumsefeld, and by extension, the Republican party as a whole look like hypocrites. So it's best to keep the story just large enough for Fox news addicts but not so large that the rest of the world hears about it.\n\nIncidentally, I don't suppose you remember what the liberal response was when Bush originally announced his intention to break international law in order to attack a sovereign nation, claiming that  we "knew" Iraq had WMD? One of the most quoted responses at that time was, "Of course we knew he has WMD! We sold them to him!!!" \n\nOnce again, if you people had only been listening to the liberals in the first place, you'd be so much farther ahead in the game.

Has anyone considered the possibility that he maybe sent them elsewhere (Syria?) to embarrass the administration? And why is it so far fetched to believe he had them? He did use them before, right? He also intentionally led other nations to believe he did have them to fend off exactly what we did, getting rid of him!
