Lies, Lies, Lies
A. "The intelligence community owes the president (an apology) rather than the president owing (one to) the American people."
Bush distorted the intelligence data and owes them an appology.
B. The administration did not pressure the intelligence agencies to overstate the WMD threat.
Cheney did so pressure them
C. While Bush relied on possibly erroneous intelligence, so did Saddam himself and his generals, the Clinton administration, France, Germany and Britain.
France and Germany weren't involved in this mess. Britain had equal interest in Iraqs Oil wealth and was full partner with the US in fabricating the case for war. Pointing to Clinton, as GOPs do always in every case, is no excuse for acting illegally.
D. "What we learned during the inspection made Iraq a more dangerous place, potentially, than, in fact, we thought it was even before the war."
Nonsense, inspection efforts in the 90's resulted in discovery and destruction of ALL significant Chem weapons that Iraq had in it's disposal.
E. Iraq was a magnet for international terrorists who were free to operate there, and plan and conduct their deadly mischief.
(Head)Rush is trying to give the impression that Saddam had someting to do with 9/11 (as did the misadministration). This is nonsense, prior to invasion... But this is true now that the US has successfully managed to rally the Jihadist movement into Iraq. |
