Did Bush Lie?

No matter how often you guys say this, it doesn’t become true. Yes, Iraqi officials met with Al Quieda officials a couple times. That’s it. That’s the full extent of their dealings.

:yawn: More errors of fact

You know what? The world probably would be a better place today if Saddam was still in power.

I ran across this this morning and feel it’s relevant to your post.

*Headline: I Wish Saddam was Still in Power.

• *I wish he was still stealing millions from his people through the Oil-for-Food program.

I wish he was still firing on American & British jets enforcing the No-Fly Zone.

I wish he was still torturing those who spoke against him

I wish his thugs were raping Iraqi women and children

I wish there were news stories coming out every day, criticizing Bush for “ignoring the threat of Saddam in a post 9/11 world.”

I wish the Iraq Kurds were treated as second-class citizens in their own country, instead of running TV commercials **thanking us **for their freedom.

I wish we we were living our lives wondering if Saddam was going to provide ANY kind of weapon to terrorists and use them against us.
I wish we would leave now, so Saddam could regain power and 2,000 American lives could be wasted after fighting a war those same Americans believed in.

I always find it amusing when the most die-hard Bush supporters maintain that WMDs were found in Iraq and there really were connections between Iraq and Al Quieda, when at the same time the actual Bush administration itself is doing its best to distance itself from those old claims. You know there must be strong evidence when the actual administration doesn’t even dare make the claim anymore.

I just learned that at 9pm EST on Fox News Channel, Saturday night, 12/3/05, David Asman will host a show: “Winning Iraq: the Untold Story”. Might be worth watching and/or taping.

The newspaper blurb said it reports on a team of reporters who ventured outside the protected zones to bring back a vividly told story of accomplishment and rebuilding of Iraqi society unknown to most Americans. The surprises are numerous and the details compelling.

Tell your friends.

It always makes me realize that they have a war on their hands in search of a reason. I mean if liberation of the Iraqi people is enough, why do they go back to the WMD’s that were never found and the direct links to Al Qaeda that were never proven?

I recall a poll out after the last election that had a good percentage of Republicans answering that WMD’s had been found in Iraq; not that they had been secretly shipped to Syria but actually found in Iraq. There are only two logical explanations for that. People either actually believe it or they are telling a falsehood as a sign of their “support” for the administration. It worries me that not only the politicians but many of their supporters appear to be willing to play fast and loose with the truth.
