Three Lies about Iraq
moveon.org

George Bush and his administration drove us to war with Iraq on a wave
of deception unprecedented in American history. On the eve of battle,
President Bush said war was required because of Saddam Hussein's
connection to "...the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11,
2001." Now Bush admits "we've had no evidence" of such a connection.
Dick Cheney charged that Saddam "has reconstituted nuclear
weapons." Now Cheney admits: "I did mis-speak."

Donald Rumsfeld claimed, regarding weapons of mass destruction:
"We know where they are. They are in the area around Tikrit and
Baghdad..." Now, Rumsfeld maintains he "never believed" that they
would be found quickly.

These deceptions all have a price, and we are paying it. Billions of
dollars have been wasted. International alliances have been shattered.
And yet the Administration shamelessly offers up new deceptions: The
war is going fine. We have enough troops. There are just pockets of
resistance. And oh yes, just give us $87 billion more. Of course we must
provide support for our troops and assist in rebuilding Iraq. But
Congress shouldn't approve one more cent until the Administration
comes clean with the truth and offers a realistic plan for meeting the
costs.
