Why is Iraq about everything but the truth?

I find it amusing to see that people are still in denial over the WMDs we found.\n\nI guess that if they pretend we did not find them they can change the truth.

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.

The war in Iraq, corruptions, lies, and hypocrisy.

Because they're finally getting around to telling us the truth. Iraq under Saddam was a more liberal part of the Arab. In Saudi Arabia, women are now getting the right to vote and drive. In Saddam's Iraq they held cabinet positions. Saddam had a secular society in the midst of theocracy. He gave the women the right to divorce their husbands. To vote. To drive. To go about with the requisite clothing.\n\nBut now? All those rights are being fought for again. And the women are losing.

It doesn't.  President Bush just claims it does, to get a reason to get suspicious about Iraqis and Arabs.  Any wrong word, even though it's a free country, the president will get suspicious.  And, there's no way of knowing if the system will be abused, the president has already lied to us enough.

I answered that in your repeated question... these are out-dated lies, after more people got involved in Iraq, no one found what your bush claimed.

Facts stand alone, on their own merit.\nIt is sometimes called truth.\nStretching the truth, \nIs called lying.\nSometimes we do not listen to the truth, \nbecause we don't want to hear it,\n \nInteresting Facts that make you think a little:\n\n        There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.\n        In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the\n        month of January. That's just one American city,\n        about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq.\n\n        When some claim that President Bush shouldn't\n        have started this war, note the following:\n\n        a.  FDR led us into World War II.\n\n        b. Germany never attacked us; Japan did.\n        From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...\n        an  average of 112,500 per year .\n\n        c. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.\n        North Korea never attacked us \n        From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost .\n        an average of 18,334 per year. \n\nd. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.\nVietnam never attacked us\n\ne.   Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.\nFrom 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ..\nan average of 5,800 per year.\n\nf. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.\nBosnia never attacked us.\nHe was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing.   Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.\n\ng. In the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya , Iran, and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.\n\nThe Democrats are complaining\nabout how long the war is taking.\nBut\nIt took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno\nto take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.\n\nWe've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq fo r 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\nMarines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard\nthan it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his\nOldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick\n\nIt took less time to take Iraq than it took\nto count the votes in Florida!!!!\n\nOur Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB!\nThe Military morale is high!\n\nThe biased media hopes we are too ignorant\nto realize the facts.\n\nBut Wait.  There's more!\n\nJOHN GLENN (ON THE SENATE FLOOR)\nMon, 26 Jan 2004 11:13\n\nSome people still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living.  This exchange between Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading.  Not only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one man's explanation of why men and women in the armed services do what they do for a living.\n\nThis IS a typical, though sad, example of what\nsome who have never served think of the military.\n\nSenator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn):\n"How can you run for Senate when you've never held a real job?"\n\nSenator Glenn (D-Ohio):\n"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.\nI served through two wars.  I flew 149 missions.\nMy plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different\noccasions.  I was in the space program.  It wasn't my checkbook, Howard, it was my life on the line.  It was not a nine-to-five job, where I took my tie off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank."\n\n"I ask you to go with me ... as I went the other day...\nto a veterans' hospital and look those men ..\nwith their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM\nthey didn't hold a job!\n\nYou go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have gone, to the widows and orphans\nof Ed White, Gus Grissom , and Roger Chaffee...\nand you look those kids in the eye and te

Because the main stream media is very left wing and biased against the conseritives in this country. They publish only the bad news. Take Iraq, the cover bombings & alleged atrocities and say nothing about the schools being built, GIs interacting with the population and kids, etc.

That doesn't include two addled lies Bush uttered while trying to extricate himself from Yellowcakegate—that the CIA didn't doubt the uranium story until after he gave the speech, and that the United States went to war because Saddam wouldn't let inspectors into Iraq. Why was the yellowcake lie treated like a major news event, when the earlier lies were not?\n\n\n\n\nthat Saddam Hussein had "recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." This information was based almost entirely on documents that the CIA and the White House knew were false.\n\n\n*Saddam Hussein blocked the work of United Nations weapons inspectors in 2003.\n\n\n"The Iraqi dictator must not be permitted to threaten America and the world with horrible poisons and diseases and gases and atomic weapons."\n-- George Bush, Oct. 7, 2002, in a speech in Cincinnati.\n\nWe've learned that Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases ... Alliance with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints." -- President Bush, Oct. 7.\n\n\n"We have also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We are concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] for missions targeting the United States." -- President Bush, Oct. 7. \n\nWe have seen intelligence over many months that they have chemical and biological weapons, and that they have dispersed them and that they're weaponized and that, in one case at least, the command and control arrangements have been established." -- President Bush, Feb. 8, 2003, in a national radio address.\n\n8: "Our conservative estimate is that Iraq today has a stockpile of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical weapons agent. That is enough to fill 16,000 battlefield rockets." -- Secretary of State Colin Powell, Feb. 5 2003, in remarks to the UN Security Council. \n\nWe know where [Iraq's WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat." -- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, March 30, 2003, in statements to the press.\n\n"Yes, we found a biological laboratory in Iraq which the UN prohibited." -- President Bush in remarks in Poland, published internationally June 1, 2003.

People do not want to hear to good news about Iraq!!! As long as the bad news flows from the liberal laced media, people will be blind to the fact that we are winning and we are giving freedoms to people that have suffered long enough!!!!

the truth and nothing between the lines.

The problem with the intellectually dishonest is that they will seek every other explanation than the plain truth and fact.\n\nThe fact is like in America, where an occupation will not be tolerated, Iraqis and Arabs, with their complexities, will not tolerate an occupation by the USA. If American troops remain in Iraq for another 100 years the result will still be the same. The truth is often much simpler than fiction. PERIOD.

You have to decide for yourself who to trust and what to belive.  I can tell you that you are right, there are a lot of lies on both sides of the arguement.\n\nLet me say this: Right now there is no way to go stop terroists from attacking.  We are only able to try and cut them off from thier resources... mainly Money and Recruits.\n\nSo when we find out that the leader of some country is paying the families of suicide bombers, like Saddam was in Iraq, we have a target.  In being there we discovered that many people from other countries in the area took up arms to attack us... individually.\n\nNo matter what George Bush says (lies), or what CNN says (lies) one thing is true without a doubt... if they can come attack me and my friends in Iraq, they aren't plotting to attack innocent civillians like you.  It is harder for them to find recruits when the able bodied people who hate us can run in hatred to try and kill us without thier help.\n\nThis is why I am proud to be in the Military, and why signs that say "bring our Troops home" really hurt our feelings very deeply.  We are dying to protect you, please don't try and put us out of a job.  This is what we are trained to do, fight.  Let us go fight for you, and please PLEASE VOTE... I want this country to be a wonderful place the world loves again and for all of you to know the kind of freedom I grew up with...\n\nNot a Fascist Republic hated by the world and stripping it's citizens of thier rights and liberties.

TRUTH ABOUT IT ALL\nEven though we may not believe that most things written on the bible is true its hard to dismiss the fact that everything that is written on the bible 'is coming true'.\n\n**To those people that ask where USA is said on the bible: It's not written there as US, it sort of has a 'hidden meaning' to it. Not everyone can get what it say**\n\nActually, there are only going to be two very powerful countries in the 'end': USA and Iraq. But USA is referred to as the 'bad' country and Iraq is 'powerful' country.\n\nWell, I hope this helps. If it doesn't, then sorry.

There is little outrage due to the big lie.  Whatever the case,you can bet we are misinformed.  We follow our leader's story, trusting them to tell us the truth, a big mistake, and then back him up at crunch time. Fascism thrives on ignorance, complacency,  and trust, until it is too late to change course.  Iraq is a good example.  We were worked up because of 9/11, we wanted justice for the attack, so we went into Afghanistan.  Somehow we also ended up in Iraq!  The big boys who run things, sip on their Napoleon Brandy and  cigars, while the rest of us are always trying to catch up.  It is always too late if we do,  after the violence has been done.  Then we are left to offer lame arguments for why it was all such a good idea in the first place.

Of course he spoke the truth; did he say stupid people are in Iraq?  NO!  That's why the Bush people ae so upset.  The truth hurts.

It is a way of accepting that Bush is the Freedom taker-in-chief. You know..? the best way to avoid the truth is to pretend it never existed.
