Rumsfeld to receive ‘Defender of the Constitution Award’ at CPAC

[Soggy in NOLA]

And there's more:

"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

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Oh wait, and more:

"We 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 Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

And another:

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

"Hussein has .. chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

"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 mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs
continue a pace 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, December 5, 2001

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

"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

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Yeah, Rummy made it all up.

 

[BlindBoo]

Rumsfeld was probably the best SecDef we've ever had. Deal with it.

Sure he was, except he will go down in history as the best liar as SecDef we've ever had. He is a disgrace to the United States and so are the people who support him. He and like minded individuals have caused tremendous suffering and a countless number of deaths.

Were are the WMD Donald?

"They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." Donald Rumsfeld - March 30 2003

Here's more.

Rumsfeld and the WMD claims

And more:

"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 Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

How many troops did President Clinton send over? Did he ever call for a invasion and occupation?

Nice try at deflection. Try again.

 

[BlindBoo]

Yeah, Rummy made it all up.

The quotes don't prove Rummy right either. Just goes to show that the Demcrats and Repubicans are basically two sides of the same coin. And before you ask, those democrat who voted for the invasion should have resigned in disgrace for abdicating their constitutional responsibility.

 

[Retread Ol' 37]

I love it.. this will undoubtedly send some here over the edge.

That's f'n AWESOME!

It came from CPAC. We know what they stand for and there's no need for us to get upset.

It's nice to know though that you see this as a game rather than an actual honor.

I love how the right lowers themselves to the oppositions level and somehow they think that makes them superior??

About as bright as burned out light bulbs.

Which part was a lie?

I'll repeat that Rumsfeld was an excellent SecDef. Does "Crusader" mean anything to anyone?

"Crusade" was an unfortunate choice of words chosen by the Bush Administration.

Obviously the term didnt mean anything to you. Crusader was an artillery piece that Rumsfeld cancelled, because they didnt need it and over the objections of flunkies of the mil-industrial complex.

You're talking to The Rabbi. He'll tell you that's exactly what it should be called... at least until Obama starts using that phrase.

Well, whether they needed that artillery piece or not, apparently they didn't have enough force, training, equipment, intel, whatever you think it is to get the job done in the time span Rumsfeld and Cheney gave for the operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan, so I'm not sure how you can readily dismiss that request.

 

[Modbert]

you have to be kidding

Neocons like The Rabbi aren't.

Deflection my ass. It goes directly to the premise that Rumsfeld made the whole WMD shit up. That dog don't hunt as that assumption goes back to the 90's as I demonstrated. It is YOU that is deflecting by now changing the argument to who went to war, focus, that wasn't what he said.

Now.... Rumsfeld was probably one of the worst Sec. of Defense... ever. Ok, save McNamara.

 

[jgarden]

..... Groups such as the Family Research Council, Concerned Women For America, American Values, the American Principles Project, the Capital Research Center, the Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, and Liberty University have said they will not attend the conference in February.

South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Florida Sen. Marco Rubioand, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have also announced they will not be attending CPAC.

Ron Paul (R-TX), Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

The irony is that Saddam's chemical and nucleur capabilities, which precipitated the Iraq War, were actually destroyed by the Cruise missile attacks during the Clinton Administration (Operation Desert Fox, December 16–19, 1998).
