Obviously, the chicken had to lay the egg first, shorty! What was the SOURCE from which Kerry and Clinton got that information, hmmmmm?How does that compare to the 5000+ dead U.S. military because of Bush's lies?If they had an ounce of truth they would have paraded it in front of the press and waved it in front of everyone's eyes. They didn't because they have nothing and never did. This was nothing more than a attempt to influence the election and if Democrats had not presented their report yesterday, you wouldn't have seen the Republican version for two or three more months.
At this point what does the death of an American Ambassador and three other Americans make?
Did I get that right?
How many women have lost their lives due to Texas' unconstitutional extreme anti-abortion tactics? Should Texas officials be prosecuted for murder?
Maybe those 5,000 lives lost were about these lies.
"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
"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
"There is already a mountain of evidence that Saddam Hussein is gathering WMDs for the purpose of using them. And adding additional information is like adding a foot to Mount Everest."

"There's no debate in the world as to whether they have these weapons. We all know that. A trained ape knows that."

"Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."

Bush, Cheney & Co. were on a very hard push in the early fall of 2002 to falsify a basis for an Iraq invasion to get the desired WPA AUMF out of Congress to do a little Nation building, shorty! That propaganda was fed directly to Senators like Kerry, Clinton, et al. If Congress, both House and Senate, believed the lies from the Bush administration, well that only proves the Bush/Cheney cabal were fucking good liars.
You are totally full of nonsense. Kerry and Clinton got their intel from the CIA, FBI and several other foreign intelligence agencies. The same place that Bush got his intel. I have several dozen more quotes from Democrats that say the same thing.
No, the DIA and CIA passed raw intel from "Curveball" who they never vetted and passed that information directly to senior policymakers in November 1999. That and the administration of George Bush giving any credibility to Ahmed Chalabi were the biggest intelligence mistakes in the run up to war.
