<As with the flake-O, liberal, idiot students at Kent State (Viet Nam era>
I was a big time Vietnam War Protester and proud of it. And guess what? We were right. The whole "dominoe theory" of the Johnson, Nixon Administration was proven to be false. But this is 2004 jmhollen and each war has to be evaluated on its own terms and grounds. Be careful of sweeping abstractions.
The lies told during 2003 have been numerous and big.
The push for war before March 2003 was based on Saddam's possession of 26,000 litres of anthrax, 38,000 litres of botulinum toxin, 1,000,000 pounds of sarin gas, mustard gas, and VX nerve gas, along with 30,000 munitions to deliver these agents and uranium from Niger (to be used in nuclear bombs). President Bush also claimed that the al Qaeda terrorists were closely associated with Saddam.
I say again, No evidence of ANY of this has EVER been found. |
