63% of Republicans STILL Think Iraq Had WMDs

[squeeze berry]

let's recap.

the US tries to sell the iraq invasion via colin powell with yellowcake and mushroom clouds and anthrax.

no sell.


they do it anyway, with allies like palau.

they find old chemical weapons (from walmart)

and then secretly move the uranium they found to canada.


yeah, that's the ticket.

 

[L.K.Eder]

And yet, with all of YOUR knowledge, the democrats also voted for the invasion.

and this crutch has been used as well so many times that i will not address this again.

what's next.

the old quotes from pre 2001?

it is okay, meister.

USA #1

fuck yeah.

And the quotes 2001 and beyond? Mean anything?


"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

63% of Republicans STILL Think Iraq Had WMDs

Go ahead, pick out your source. This is how "Google" works.

Remember, 70% of Americans believed Iraq was involved in 9/11:

Bush linked Iraq and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks: "The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001 -- and still goes on. That terrible morning, 19 evil men -- the shock troops of a hateful ideology -- gave America and the civilized world a glimpse of their ambitions."

The part on Demographics is hilarious. 2.5% of blacks are Republican? More than half Republicans say they are strongly religious but less than a quarter regularly attend church.

Very interesting poll.

100% of smart people on this board think you are an idiot.

500 tons of uranium shipped from Iraq, Pentagon says - CNN
since this was actually ignored I'll try again -

The United States secretly shipped out of Iraq more than 500 tons of low-grade uranium dating back to the Saddam Hussein era, the Pentagon said Monday.

The U.S. military spent $70 million ensuring the safe transportation of 550 metric tons of the uranium from Iraq to Canada, said Pentagon spokesman Brian Whitman.

The shipment, which until recently was kept secret, involved a U.S. truck convoy, 37 cargo flights out of Baghdad to a transitional location, and then a transoceanic voyage on board a U.S.-government-owned ship designed to carry troops to a war zone, he said.

500 tons of uranium shipped from Iraq, Pentagon says - CNN

It will keep getting ignored too. The US spent 70 million getting it out of Iraq because it meant nothing and was presented no threat whatsoever. /sarcasm

 

[AmericanFirst]

Bill Clinton told America that Iraq had WMD's. The CIA told Bush that Iraq was developing WMD's. Iran gained an entire fleet of fighter jets when Iraq hid it's air force in Iran during the 1st Gulf War. Bush gave Saddam about a year to comply with UN sanctions. Iran suddenly gained nuclear technology when the US attacked Iraq. Figure it out yet?

Hussein also proved he had them when he used them on his own countrymen.

lol, you know who pulled the trigger, right?

Pulling the 'trigger' have anything to do with all those claims you state are false? Why all the quotes about them having WMD's by the left? So was the left trying to mislead when they claimed such before 2001 and AFTER? What was their agenda in making such claims? Seems that many on the left keep saying Bush lied about WMD’s to start this war. WTF were democrats claiming before and after 9-11 there were WMD’s and now such means nothing? And WMD’s were ‘made up’ by Bush?

dead iraqis and dead us military don't care about your political trench warfare.

i know you desperately want to share the blame with the democrats, and other nations.

but the iraq war is a bushbaby.

you are US american and supported the invasion, then you own it. mission accomplished

 

[Dot Com]

There were...Syria has them now.
I remember watching the news reports back in 2003 when they were showing a convoy of trucks heading toward Syria, nobody knew why, but there was a lot of speculation. We gave them too many warnings and too much time and gave them the chance to get rid of them. That was the only thing that Bush was wrong about.

"a lot of speculation"? Hmmm.

this is why seriously participating in a discussion on boards like this is futile.

they NEEEEED to believe that Iraq had WMDs.

and use old chemical weapons, which were found, as a crutch to rationalize that the invasion of iraq was not built on a full-blown lie.

the leaders of a third world country invading another third world country on those grounds would now sit in Scheveningen.

a good question would be, would they do it again (put $1.5 TRILLION on the U.S. credit card [borrow it from China ] and 1000's KIA & 10's of 1000's permanently disabled/disfigured given that Iraq appears to be a wash at best?

According to WikiLeaks, small amounts of chemical WMDs were found in Iraq and continued to surface for years after the 2003 US invasion.

You think rdean is going to admit that there were weapons despite the articles and evidence? His talking point was there were no WMDs. Clearly there arent the amounts we expected, but he cant admit that there were any. it hurts his talking points.
