That's what is being reported all over the World! We still never found any WMD'S in Iraq did we?

No, this is what he told a prosecutor, and it was about Bush getting even with somebody that dared to question his authority.

i agree with you on both points.  unfortunately in the last several days this same WMD question keeps coming up but the liberals continue to refuse acknowledgement that it proves anything.  They argue that they were non-functional, that they weree planted, that it's a lie...anything but that the president told the truth or acted prudently.  They never will.  These people aren't concerned with truth, they only care about their agenda and will beat this thing to death.  Half are brainwashed nitwits the others are outright radical communist or islamist extremists bent on seeing this country defeated.\n\nJust some info for those bringing up sarin gas degrading...do some research..i mean research not wikipedia.  When exposed to air or water sarin will degrade within a matter of weeks.  In earlier shells saddam had a problem stockpiling shells because they would degrade, therefore he started using a binary projectile. These rounds are compartmentalized having sarin contained isolated from the other component which was isopropyl alcohol.  the two were mixed when the round was fired.  THESE DO NOT DEGRADE!!  GET IT?\n\nlol...you know...the closer you get to proving something that they made such a big deal out of the more these bushbashers back away and then say the issue isn't important anyway.  Why?...because as I've said..they DON"T CARE ABOUT TRUTH only their agenda.\n\nI'll tell you this much zenkitty27;  I've listened to the president speak quite often and spontaneously without notes and what he has had to say is a lot more substantive and coherent than most of your posts.  So what have YOU been smoking?

Typical partisan bulls***. There have been reports of chemical and biological weapons being found since the war started. All have been determined to be either pre-1991 or post-2003 invasion. \n\nWhere are the nuclear weapons we were talking about with a "mushroom cloud"? Saddam lied? Who would have though that a politician could be dishonest? The point is that we have NO evidence he was pursuing chemical or biological weapons while he was prohibited from doing so, and only doctored and falsified evidence he was pursuing nuclear weapons. All we have is a bunch of old, degraded munitions.\n\n"Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out," \nI cannot rule out that North Korea has the capacity to launch nuclear missiles at the US, either. Should we attack them next? Israel and India have nuclear and biological weapons and the capacity to strike the US. Are they next?\n\nWhere do we draw the line?\n\nWould we have found these weapons without the loss of 2500+ American lives and 100,000+ Iraqi lives? I guess we'll never know, will we?

Its not an accepted fact.  If you notice 90% of the Democrats who were screaming about "No WMDs in Iraq" have all but shut up.\nIts because evidence has come out that Iraq did indeed have working WMDs and that those working WMDs were sent to Syria, as well as other places.\nNow the only ones who cannot accept the fact that Iraq had WMDs are the liberal sheep who haven't heard any different from their leaders.\nBut as I stated above they are not talking, they don't want to show their ignorance, and stupidity, and if someone doesn't talk about something for a while, eventually everyone forgets about it...\nThe problem is that the liberal sheep are still screaming that there were no WMDs, and keeping that fire burning, which will eventually force the democratic leaders to fess up and say, "Ok there were WMDs.  They have been shipped to Syria.  But Bush is still to blame for every social and moral wrong that you can think of."

Regardless of whether there are or were weapons of mass destruction - what was going on in Iraq was wrong and unacceptable.  The killing of thousands of innocent people and the ruling of a tyrant - horrible.  There are so many places they could hide the weapons - or by now maybe they were smuggled out of the country - who knows, but it's not a long shot to say they were there at one time.

As far as Bush lying about WMD's in Iraq, he didn't.  Please read the first link below.\n\nAs far as Bush lying about Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda not being connnected, he didn't.  Please read the second and third links below.\n\nI'm tired of all of the sheep walking around spouting crap.  I'm not the biggest fan of Bush, but I wish people would read for 30 seconds before they open up their mouth.

We are fighting a war to protect our way of life.  It seems like many people that are complaining these days have completely forgotten about the attacks on 9/11.  The enemy wants to kill Americans.  They want to kill us in large numbers.  They have no problem with killing women and children.  Wake up!  As for WMD in Iraq, I think they had plenty of time to move the weapons out of the country before we went in.  Some news stories have reported that the WMD's were shipped into the Bekka valley in Lebanon weeks before the war started.  Of course, these reports were never followed up by the liberal media, that's not the type of news they want to report on.

To have something to complain about. For example:\n\nIraq's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction was not captured by US forces who heroically brought down Saddam Hussein's regime three years ago this week. It vanished before they arrived.\nIsraeli intelligence reported before the US-led invasion that starting in late summer 2002 Saddam's WMD arsenal was shipped by truck convoy to Syria. Recently, documents seized from Iraq after the fall of the regime were released to the public. Those documents revealed that under the direct command of former Russian prime minister and KGB boss Yevgeny Primakov, Russian Spetnaz forces oversaw the transfer of Iraq's WMD to Syria ahead of the US-led invasion. These reports have been corroborated by Saddam's Air Vice Marshall General Georges Sada.\n\nSo rather than being destroyed or secured, Saddam's WMD arsenal was simply moved from one rogue regime with intimate ties to terror organizations to another rogue regime with intimate ties to terror organizations.\n\nOf course, American Media will NOT report this, it will prove Bush right, and then they would look stupid.\n\nMichael Moore, thanks:\nFriday, 23 June 2006 \nWhen News Lies \n\n\nWHEN NEWS LIES\nMedia Complicity and The Iraq War\n\n\nBy Danny Schechter, The News Dissector\n\n\n\nA new book from Danny Schechter offers an up to date indictment of the role media played in promoting and misreporting the war on Iraq. It is an analysis of how and why the media got it wrong that pinpoints the failures of journalism and the collusion of media companies with the Bush Administration. The author of EMBEDDED: Weapons of Mass Deception (Prometheus 2003), an account of the TV coverage of the US invasion, returns with a more comprehensive, updated and insider look at the media complicity that Schechter argues "made the war possible."\n\n\n\n"Most of the anti-war movement focused on the crimes of the Bush Administration ignoring the mainstream media, its far more effective accomplice," says former network producer Danny Schechter (ABC, CNN). "The government orchestrated the war while the media marketed it. You couldn't have one without the other."\n\n\n\nWHEN NEWS LIES includes the feature -length DVD of the prize-winning film WMD (Weapons of Mass Deception). The book will also include the complete script as well as a discussion of the challenges of exposing media with media with a documentary. It chronicles the media war fought alongside the military campaign and the struggle to stand up for truth. \n\nSource(s):\nGoogle it:\n\nSaddam, WMD, Spetsnaz\n\nhttp://www.wmdthefilm.com/mambo/index.ph...

I wonder who really believes Iraq had weapons of mass destruction(WMD). Supposedly, the americans went to war to prevent Saddam from giving WMD to terrorists.  No WMD has been found, meaning either the iraqis never had WMD or somehow, the terrorists got the weapons. The american population was misled, not the government.  The government always had the reports saying Iraq had no WMD.  At the same time, there was a conflict about nuclear programs with North Korea.  Here they do have nuclear weapons.  Weird I don't see american troops in N. Korea.  So, was it for oil?  Definitely YES.\n\nIs it worth it?  Oil price has never been so high because constant supply from Iraq is not available.  Ask the families of the soldiers who died in that war, if it is worth it?  Ask the families of everyone else (workers or diplomats) who has died or been kidnapped if it is worth it?  Ask the American people who pay billions as tax money to support the military, if it is worth it?  \n\nThis war has been a complete failure.  There is only one reason:  The war was not necessary.

USA is sometimes too stubborn on foreign issues.  She does not want to listen to other nation's rejecting comments.  In the past, we should spend more time to inspect Iraq to see if it has WMD.  It is reasonably for Iraq to block UN's inspection because none, including USA wants someone to inspect its technology.  We need more proof and evidence before we make go to war on a whim.  And afterward we blame UK, our best ally, on the whole issue.  Think of how much UK hates us now.  Are we all alone in this world?

Evidence?  Why would US need evidence for something? They didn't found evedence in Iraq. And there they didn't killed a guy, they killed a nation. They do not care. For their concern all the rest of the world can go to hell as long as they are ok in their stollen land. Check ur history books!

It's utterly mind boggling that there was no plan in place for the post invasion of Iraq, but it blatantly obvious that's indeed what occurred. It's almost as if the Bush administration did this intentionally. And now were seeing the results of this administrations ineptness. How sad.

midrash40 and dragonfly9151974 I didn’t know there were really people still as naive as you.\n\nHere is a link with a quote from the White House saying that Iraq does not have WMD:\n\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/01/20050112-7.html\n\nHere is a link from the hearings on when the White House admitted that Iraq did not fund terrorism linked to al Qaeda or anyone else substantial:\n\nhttp://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress03/mefford062703.htm\n\nAnd just in case you try to use that lame excuse that they were “moved”, here is a link from Fox News that they were not moved to Syria or anywhere else:\n\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,107946,00.html\n\nHere is a number of links from all kinds of sources saying that Iraq is about to start a civil war or already has:\n\nhttp://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0227/p01s03-woiq.html\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/23/AR2006022300216.html\nhttp://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-mood25feb25,0,2529739.story?coll=la-home-headlines\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/26/weekinreview/26weis.html\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4741616.stm\nhttp://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1652025\nhttp://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB113236130033602047-zCx1WvfGIuZvGZJVr_MWVRGcFGE_20061118.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top\n\nEven Military.com has said that it has started:\n\nhttp://www.military.com/opinion/0,15202,88803,00.html\n\nFox News is already saying that the Civil War is a good thing (God bless them for trying so hard):\n\nhttp://mediamatters.org/items/200602240003\n\nLook, we all wanted Iraq to have Democracy and be free.  But this didn’t work out, we failed.  Iraq will, as Brian said, immediately fall into a long, nasty civil war.  They’ve done this exact thing for centuries and will do it again now.  I’m sorry, but we royally messed this one up.\n\nI know that you won't see the light, and you guys are probably some of those people who think we won the Vietnam War, but you are seriously outnumbered by just about everyone else INCLUDING THE WHITE HOUSE.  I do applaud your hope, but worry about your mental stability.\n\nBrian,\n\nYes, your logic is correct. \n\nJohn

I remember when Clinton had a missile launched into a country without the declaration of war (Pakistan I think  it was). I remember it was mentioned on the news like it was nearly an everyday news item. They moved on to the next topic so fast that both my husband and I looked at each other and said, "That was odd." We were not stating that as much about the missile attack but that it didn't draw more of a story. A few days later the debris was on the news and it was a small story that there was misinformation and instead of it being a WMD (chemical weapons) production site, evidence showed that it was just a pharmacuetical maker. The news barely covered it and no one seemed ruffled that we shot a missile into a country without permission nor a declaration of war.\n\nSo no, I don't think there would be near as much media bruhaha if it had been Clinton.

Consider this. NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WAS FOUND.\n\nWhy  woud a leader of his country tell his neighborhing enemies that he has NO WEAPONS AT ALL!!!!\n\nOf course your going to lie!!! to PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE!!!!\n\nAnd if Sadams crimes were so vulgar why dont the Iranians release him to the USA? They wont cause THEY DONT EVEN LIKE THE USA GOVERNMETN INVOLVED TOO MUCH\n\nIf you want the Iraqies to suffer like we americans do, give them Celion Dion and Britney spears!!!!\n\nThey'll think twice about being americanized

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.

Good question! Twin Towers (Saddam WAS linked to these MURDERS of innocent people when they discovered Al Quida training camps in Iraq near the Iranian borders); how many violations of the UN resolutions? So many I can't remember, but more then 12 that I know of; reports of WMD's, which whether you believe it or not, that had to be answered by force since the UN is a gutless piece of work, so corrupt that the French and Russians were making millions off the humane efforts of the United States who nearly funded all the monies for the "Food Program". Of course these funds were never used by Saddam to feed his people, he was to busy killling them by the hundreds of thousands while French politicians were getting millions. Hello, anyone home yet! Crimes of humanity not unlike Hitler. Remember him..and you know what, Hitler never  bombed the US but we still took him out. Does anyone ever ask WHY? Oh ya, the Palestinians and the President of Iran and Saddam. Hitler was their HERO...but he was an infidel too...go figure. Guess it comes down to madness. Even Saddam's generals thought he had WMD's because that is what Saddam wanted everyone to believe. Well, he got his wish...we believed him. I Wish he had died in that hole but my wish didnt come true.Women raped, children killed, wifes ravaged in front of their families for the pleasures of sons of Saddam, mass burials of innocent Iraqis who did not like their President (what a joke, president); using WMD to kill 300,000 Kurds; These are some of the reasons we are in IRAQ and if the damn politicians would let the military act like the military then this war would be over. If we entered WWII like this, we would be speaking German or Japanese. Truman was right, the US should never enter a war without using all it's might and power to defeat the enermy in a short, unrelenting manner and then return home. Unfortunately we have a bunch of weak politicians in office and a nation of sheep that follow their good shepards right into the gates of hell. Wake up America, the world is not what it used to be and Muslims want us all dead. Got it now.
