Bob Woodward: Bush Didn't Lie About WMDs to Justify Iraq War

[Wildman]

Former President George W. Bush did not lie about the presence of weapons of mass destruction to justify the Iraq War, journalist Bob Woodward said Sunday.

The argument has been used for years by Democrats and other detractors, but Woodward said on "Fox News Sunday" that his own 18-month investigation showed that Bush was actually skeptical that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had WMDs as Saddam claimed.

I must be reading this wrong, because that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Bush was skeptical? How about Rice and Woolsey on all the talk shows and Cheney quoting his own plants in the NYT and mushroom clouds over Nantucket in 45 minutes? That whole hysteria was brought on by Democrats?

Garbage!

Comprehension is fundamental. Try it sometime.

Sounds like an aging attention whore is feeling neglected.

 

[konradv]

If Bush was skeptical about WMDs, why was Rumsfeld on the Sunday morning talk shows calling Saddam an "immediate threat" to the U.S.? Sounds like he was willing to take advantage of lies, which in the end amounts to the same thing as lying.

Looks like Woodward is trying to sell it.

Just like he sold watergate. If you believe one do you believe the other?

I know.....you lefties have no idea what "history" is....history for you starts the morning you wake up...everything else is just stories.......

So...for you guys....as Andrew Klavan would say......Back in History Time....on 9/11 mulsim terrorists hijacked 4 jet airliners and flew them into the 2 World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon and the passengers on one of them crashed the 4th keeping it from crashing into another government building....

Yes...that actually happened.....look it up....I am telling the truth.......

Now....before 9/11 the clinton administration cared more about selling the government of the United States to the highest bidder....mainly China back then....and didn't care about muslim terrorists...they didn't want to offend anyone...and the muslims blew up the Kobar Towers, blew a hole in our ship the Cole, and our embassy in Kenya.......and clinton was forcing women to have sex with him and having sex with interns.....so he was too busy to pay much attention to muslim terrorists...and they grew bolder and more aggressive and then attacked us on 9/11

Leading up to 9/11 we had won a war against Iraq, and to end the war sadaam hussein obama...no...wait...that is just sadaam hussein..........signed a ceasefire agreement in which he said he would stop attacking his neighbors, he had invaded Kuwait, and would allow us to inspect his WMD facilities to make sure he didn't have them or use them again.....because he actually had them and used them against his own people......

Now having paid attention, unlike you guys, to the inspection process.....he would not allow the inspectors to do their jobs....ever.....the whole time he interfered and on just that we should have restarted the war...but clinton was screwing interns and Europe officials were being bribed by sadaam....so no one had the balls to back up the ceasefire agreement....

Oh....and he was targeting our military aircraft over the no fly zone we created to protect the Kurds from being murdered by him....another violation of the ceasefire agreement...but see above for why we just let him do it....

So after 19 muslim terrorists attacked us killin 3,000 Americans...oh...that's right.....you have probably forgotten that already.....so please, go back up to the top and reread the post again.......letting sadaam play his games and build WMDs....which 16 intelligence agencies from around the world said he had....and newly released documents from his goverment showed he was going to do again.....

And to let those weapons be handed off to terrorists...since he was giving money and safe haven to terrorists....could not be tolerated....


And since he was already in violation of the ceasefire agreement many times over...and still refused to allow the weapons inspections to go on unmolested.......it was determined that he couldn't be allowed to exist anymore...not when allowing terrorists in the past to attack us and attack us and attack us...over and over again was just encouraging them to do more and more...

So the grown ups realized he had to be dealt with....and then you lefties used it as an opportunity to bash republicans...because doing that is more important to you than national security....

Then once Iraq and Afghanistan were won and stable..........we foolishly elected a racist, terrorist sympathizing, anti American President who pulled out our troops...following the serial sexual predator bill clinton model of dealing with terrorists to become our policy again....and isis came along and started taking over everything we achieved over there.....


So...that is what happened in a nut shell...yes...I know....you have forgotten what I just posted...so read it again........and when you wake up tomorrow, leave yourselves a note to reread the post so you actually remember 9/11.....

Thanks....

We were attacked on 9/11 because we invaded the ME unjustifiably in 1991, and then proceeded to keep troops in Saudi Arabia needlessly for a decade.

Meddling has consequences.

I believe what BobWoodward said; "He didn't find a lie there" to be specific. What I don't believe (and neither does anyone else) was that liberals were pushing Bush to go into Iraq as Wilddipshit says in the OP.

"Bob Woodward: Bush Didn't Lie About WMDs to Justify Iraq War"

There was already a failed thread about this.

And this one fails as well.

That you and others on the right are so desperate and dishonest as to attempt to whitewash the lies and failures of the Bush administration is telling and pathetic.

Should Bush have ignored these Democrats statements? They sound a little 'pushy' to me.

"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 | Source

"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 | Source

"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 | Source

Bob Woodward isn't on the right and is not desperate or dishonest.

Everybody knows "Bush lied" is a hackneyed left-wing mantra.

Mr. Woodward discredited himself when he lied about John Belushi in his book about him...
