America continues her long, horrible slide because those who covet leadership are unwilling to fight for us.There needs to be a 12 step program for recovering co-dependents of the media. The GOP seriously needs treatment
It has recently come to light that large caches of chemical and other banned weapons were found in Iraq, and that the Bush White House was fully aware of their existence but chose to suppress knowledge of their existence on the theory that they had lost the battle in the media and didn’t want to reopen those wounds. Karl Rove appears at the epicenter of this strategy, apparently believing the truth is less important than media treatment.
For several years the Administration was flagellated by the media and Democrats over the supposed “lie” of Iraqi WMDs, and yet, when presented with concrete evidence of their existence, the Administration chose to hide the fact, hoping the problem would go away. We witnessed an unimaginable spectacle where a daily drumbeat of “Bush lied, people died” was drummed into the American psyche, and Rove’s answer was to remain silent - even after the weapons were found. He had adopted the Clinton defense websites motto “move on”. It was an odd strategy.

They were pre-1991 weapons and most, if not al, were ours. They were not even operational.
There were no WMDs. We need to evict the enemies in our own Party as well as those without. “Head in sand” conservatism gets us nowhere and we’ll never see Libtardation take over our Republic.
Two points.
The article made reference to overwhelming evidence of WMDs, but didn’t offer any of it.
If true, Bush should be put on trial.
“Karl Rove appears at the epicenter of this TRAGEDY, apparently believing the truth is less important than media treatment.”
A pox on all these lying Bush and Rove bastards - and now they want to run Jeb? Head exploding.
The New York Times did an extensive story a few days ago, a quick search of FR will get you there.
There is a whole lot of WTF going on in my mind about this.
The only reason I can come up with is, W did the right thing because Saddam was out of control with WMD's and took the hit to protect bad decisions and miscalculations by the previous G. H.W. Bush administration.
On that you are horribly wrong.

The Sarin IED, one of SEVERAL, were of a binary mix in flight type of shell that Iraq did not have prior to 1995.
Ping, RightwardHo insists that there were no WMD in Iraq.

He forgets that even the Deulfer report mentioned repeatedly that chemical weapons were indeed found.
COME on, moderators. GET RID OF THIS LEFTIST TROLL once and for all. He's REALLY coming right out about his trolling, nowadays.
Every day you let this troll post, he's going back to Democrat Underground and laughing it up with his Marxist pals.
Well, ISIS is using Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons right now. http://pamelageller.com/2014/10/islamic-state-using-saddam-husseins-chemical-weapons.html/
You mean the chem weapons that RIghtwardHo insists do not exist?
Unpossible, he swears not!
I gotta give RW HO credit. He’s making a mockery of forum moderation. He’s practically admitting he’s an MSNBC nutbag, and still, he’s posting.
I guess that’s why it’s left to us. I will NEVER let go of this.
Yes.
They do.
There are stories and stories about nerve agent plants, repositories found and then stories buried by the IOC, and people on duty coming into contact with chemical weapons.
I specifically remember a woman calling CNBC from Baghdad, where she was reporting. She said that CNN had come into 1000s of documents in Arabic about Saddam’s weapons. CNBC practically cut her off. But, I did hear her.
It was revealed this week that about 5,000 chemical weapons were recovered or destroyed in Iraq following the 2003 invasion but the Pentagon chose to keep the findings top secret.
An investigation by The New York Times has revealed that U.S. forces happened across the hidden caches of warheads, shells and aviation bombs between 2004 and 2011.
Has ISIS looted chemical weapons from former Iraqi nerve agent factory that US failed to destroy? UN told 2,500 rockets containing deadly Sarin are in the hands of the jihadists
◾Isis controls a former chemical weapons factory near Baghdad, it’s claimed
◾The Muthanna State Establishment made nerve agents in the 80s and 90s
◾Iraq wrote to the UN this summer to say that it had lost control of the depot
◾Officials said that armed terrorist groups had taken over the complex
◾It comes after it was revealed the US found 5,000 chemical weapons in Iraq

The weapons were supposed to expire after 18 months or so, we are told. You know, about Christmas time, 2004, right? So, the effects we see now from them being used should be nil, right?
“They were pre-1991 weapons and most, if not al, were ours. They were not even operational.
There were no WMDs. We need to evict the enemies in our own Party as well as those without. “Head in sand” conservatism gets us nowhere and we’ll never see Libtardation take over our Republic.”
That is so wrong on so many fronts. So we gave him the 5000+ chemical warheads. Just absurb. By the way our soldiers were given strict orders not to go near those storage areas. Are you sure you are not Karl Rove?
I know that, and you know that, but trolls like rightwardho insist year after year that it was all a lie/ old munitions/ magically ours somehow..
Well, between bits and pieces of these things disappearing or used, not to mention the missing nuclear material, someday, the facts on the ground will tell a different story.
I hope that you and I are not part of that. Ditto for the FReepers I know, my family, and my friends.
You are either a leftist or a republicrat kool-aid drinker.
The whole “there were no WMDs” meme has been shot so full of holes that only one of those two groups still believes it to be true.
PS - If there were no WMDs in Iraq, then where did ISIS get the ones they are using?
