The Lie That Got Us In: The Bush Administration Knew There Were No WMDs in Iraq « Antiwar.com Blog
No my response is Bush did not lie. How did you manage to miss the first sentence?
If Jr. didn't lie, then why didn't we find any WMD's?
False logic.
Next.
It was also put to a vote about a month before an election and framed with 9.11 to make nay votes appear traitorous. And still, most Democrats voted against it. Plus, no one on the left or right were considering invading Iraq until the Bush administration began beating their war drums in 2002. Lastly, it was Bush alone who, as Commander-in-Chief, had the lone authorization to deploy our troops into Iraq. He was also in possession of a 90+ page NIE that few in Congress had security clearance to read.Republcians (7) and Democrats (147) voted against giving President Bush the deciding power to use military force in Iraq. In fact a majority of Democratic Congressmen/women voted against it.
Democrats provided the margin of victory. Democrats continued to vote to fund both wars, even after they had taken control of Congress. They continued to fund both wars, even after voting many many times on resolutions condemning the wars. Democrats are gutless cowards.
**sigh**
You're right. Those were the days when congress and the people crossed party lines to support the President - even when he lied to them.
Here's your WMDs ya POS democrats

Looks like Iraqis were better off with Saddam Hussein.
Bush still lied no matter how many other people you want to drag into it.
No he didnt.
WHy are we debating this yet again for the 400th time? Democrats were for the war when the public was behind it, and against it when the public got tired of it. Democrats are demagogue scum.
I say Bush lied and your response is about other people. I said Bush lied....Whats your defense? Other people didnt know better?

Bush really screwed thing up in the Middle East. Some think he is an idiot(which he is) but the Bush policy was to cause turmoil in the Middle East / world to keep energy prices high. The real idiots are the ones who think he went into Iraq to protect America.

No, numb nutz. A single gun can kill millions.Here's your WMDs ya POS democrats
I guess you've never been in the military, nor do I believe that you know the true definition of "WMD's".
It means "weapons of mass destruction", which means that it will not only kill the person you're shooting at, it will kill at least 30 others with the same shot.
Chemical weapons are a type, so are biological and radiological (typically called CBR in the Navy, meaning Chemical, Biological, and Radiation) because not only do they kill in the zone of the shockwave, but they can also kill many miles outside of it.
It pisses me off when idiot civilians think they know what they are talking about when it comes to weapons, and they have no clue.
A single gun, while it may be able to kill a few people, doesn't qualify as a weapon of mass destruction.
If you're going to use a gun and call it a weapon of mass destruction, check out the various Gatling guns that the military uses that fire around 3,000 rounds per min.
