Talking points about Mushroom clouds, Aluminum tubes, ties with al Qaeda, Yellow cake, is what I mean, not the culpability of the minority of Democrats in Congress who voted to give President Bush the deciding power. Do you think Condi was ever briefed on how to come across with a particular message before her many appearances on the Sunday talk shows?
I bet she was never told to deliberately lie to the American people.
Earlier in 2001 she claimed that Saddam had not been able to reconstitute his military or his WMD program. She had to know she was deceiving the public with the talking points to drive us into a war.
Early in 2001?
Huh, cause the Democrats said he had wmds well before 2001.
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

I know and you know you have seen these. I get it, they were all lied to by Cheney and Boooooooosh.
Or......
Was it the other way around?
Either way, the paradigm shifted in how we dealt with threats from abroad. Especially when we all saw what 19 people could do to this country with out a gun.
I know, you have your 20/20 vision of hindsight where nothing was found. Well, except for the programs in place. Yeah, except for those.
You pathetic moronic hypocrites cry for saddam while you know full well how much he tortured people.
Oh nevermind. Go ahead and cry for him and rewrite history by not holding your pathetic democrats to account for their propagation of wmds and the fact they voted for the war.
If only you morons would acknowledge the facts. That would be the first step to seeing the light. Now, go ahead and stick to bandwagon reasoning and the rest of your fallacies.
