Has nothing to do with the fact that we did find WMD.
And that the leftist talking points being tossed around are BS.
We did, indeed, find WMD.
Yeah, a big Area 51 guy...
Nice 20/20 hindsight.
The fact is, every single intelligence agency world wide thought his WMD program was active.
The leftist talking point that We went to Iraq because Saddam tried to kill his daddy is sick, and Trump needs to back off this BS, and so should his supporters.
We did not find WMD that the Bush Whitehouse would defend.
Do you agree with that?
What intelligence agency did you serve with during this time?
We found WMD period.
Sarin, is it or is it not a WMD?

“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

“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.
“There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace 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, Dec, 5, 2001.
“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 mandate 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.
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.” Al Gore , Sept. 23, 2002.

“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons...” Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.
“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force “ if necessary “ to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.” Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.
“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 s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.” Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,
“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do.” Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.
“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
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. “[W]ithout 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 has 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, M
And we found WMD.
I like that people can’t admit that we did.
Really? That’s going to be your argument?
I’m just going to say this once.
I’ve been a Trump supporter for a while, but what he’s doing is wrong, and I’m not going to go full Cruzer here and deny my preferred candidate just said something untrue.
Cruzers aren’t the only ones who can be blind morons. They don’t have a monopoly on fealty over truth.

Another link for the link pile.
So funny.
Gullible conservatives fall for this every time.
A politician will say a throwaway line and our side will spend all our time, energy, and resources trying to make sense of it.
We will research, analyze, debate, write columns, craft talking points and debate responses, and so on.....
By the time we have a fully researched, written, and prepared logical response full of data, the politician has moved on.
We fall for it every time.
It does not matter if WMDs were found in Iraq! ! !
We lost that battle over ten years ago! ! !
Bush himself says we didn't find any! ! !
You’re arguing with one who spent years saying we found WMDs.
However, the BUSH WHITEHOUSE would never defend that, Would they?
They rolled over like puppies dogs and showed their yellow bellies to the world.
Yes they did.
And I wonder about that.
But, considering the subject the past days has been the leftist talking point of “no WMD found” when we did find them, he is irrelevant to that fact.
Name still rings a bell, but I didn’t remember that insane stuff, heh..
I recall it.
And all the idiots parroting his insane BS all these years later make me laugh at them.
Matter of fact, reading through the thread he was last on.
I guess then your question becomes...do gullible conservatives fall for faux conservative or non-conservative candidates...
Yes, I remember the overhead (was maybe drone coverage) of the trucks and missiles being expedited to Syria... Then there was some coverage (for a very short time) of some European country stumbling upon bunkers of Nerve agents (was either mustard gas or sarin, maybe both)... and it was leaking.
I’m definitely going back to read for a recap ;)
“unilaterally”?!
God I hate you autocorrect.
“unless”
Lol... by any chance do you have a link to that “autocorrect” website? I lost the link since I lost my PC :/, and I need a laugh :p
