The controversy over Bush's claim in his address has raised further questions about the administration's assertions that Iraq had chemical and biological weapons, a nuclear weapons program, and ties to al-Qaida.
None of those assertions, which the administration said were backed up by solid intelligence, have been validated by discoveries in postwar Iraq.
Question: If Iraq did not have chem/bio/nuke programs why on earth did'nt anyone speak up BEFORE the war? Is this "newfound knowledge" or did the previous Administration and the U.N. during the 90's know there were no nuke/bio/chem programs and yet put in place, and kept in place till now, economic sanctions? Sanctions which some say resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's?
See, the big problem I'm having with all this is. It would seem BUsh's critics trying to assert that Bush knew claims of Iraqi C/B/N programs were bullshit all along so he had to make up a story so we could bomb em. While everyone in the previous Administration and the U.N.@sanctions.com also believed Iraq had C/B/N programs and thats why they imposed sanctions in the first place. So were they lying too? Did they impose those children killin sanctions just for fun? Or did Bush dupe them into it while he was Govenor of Texas? Yeah, that's gotta be it.
One more question while I'm at it, and this one is really buggin me, If Somomizer never had C/B/N programs all along and everyone else just made em up (was it Bush that made em up? Oh, never mind), why on Earth did'nt he just cooperate with UN teams and avert the asskickin he just took? (I think Bush probably tricked him into it but I'd like to hear your answer)
Okay, I'll go away now.
