we know that Bush and a several of his crew have said that Saddam had nuclear weapons when they knew there was no proof No such statement was ever made. That is just a white faced, blatant lie. Sept. 7, 2002 assertion that "Iraq was 'six months away' from building a nuclear weapon" ("I don't know what more evidence we need," Bush said, citing a report that was apparently drafted in Brigadoon); his Oct. 7 charge that Iraq was planning "missions targeting the United States" via unmanned aerial vehicles (an impossibility, given the UAVs' limited range); the infamous State of the Union address in which Bush claimed Iraq was attempting to purchase uranium from Niger (though the CIA had long since told Cheney's office the documents containing this information were forged); and Bush's assertion that Iraq was trying to buy "high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production" (also discredited beforehand). [LINK] Polman missed several other fibs, however, including one of the most creative -- that American soldiers had found Iraq's weather balloons of mass destruction. [LINK] On meet the press, cheney said that the US had proof that Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear program. In the state of the union address, bush made the same claim. I can go on... Al

There IS significant evidence that Bush and company mislead this country on several issues vis a vis Saddam and Iraq. I disagree. There isn't a shred of evidence to that effect. You're lying again. And with each passing day, one of the more significant items....Iraq's possession of large caches of WMD....becomes more and more unlikely. I don't believe even you are this stupid. Nobody doubts the existence of WMD. Many doubt they don't exist and their numbers are growing. Stop watching FOX........its making you very stupid. Not if they are even slightly informed about the subject. Hell, Saddam admitted he had it, was under an obligation to PROVE he destroyed it, and failed to do so. Liar! He denied it right to the end. You're making it up as you go along.......a trait you share with Bush. That's all that is required to justify our actions. Even Clinton clearly stated that Saddam's WMD were a problem that required military action. As a liberal, he just didn't have the balls to do what needed to be done. Sucker, you don't know what balls are; how many wars you fought in, big mouth? we know that Bush and a several of his crew have said that Saddam had nuclear weapons when they knew there was no proof No such statement was ever made. Liar.........both Cheney and Rumsfeld made direct quotes to that effect, and they have been posted on this thread repeatedly.
