Nancy Pelosi told reporters yesterday that President George W. Bush sent the US to war “based on a false representation of a threat of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.”

It would only be news if she was caught in a truth.

This news is boring.

Why should it be made public that Pelosi lied?

She will not be held responsible, the MSM doesn’t give a crap for this kind of news and Pelosi will be re-elected again and again and again.

Such is life in American politics.

Bill Clinton cited Saddam's WMD as justification for his 1998 bombing of Baghdad, an action that won the support of virtually every Democrat. Of course, the real reason for the bombing was to delay the impeachment proceedings in the House.

For those who have forgotten . . .

On December 16, 1998, on the eve of the scheduled House vote on his impeachment, Bill Clinton launched a surprise bombing attack on Baghdad. As justification for this exploit, he cited the urgent threat that Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction posed to America, and the need for immediate action. Almost instantly, the House Democrats held a caucus and emerged calling for a delay in the impeachment proceedings. House minority leader Dick Gephardt made a statement: "We obviously should pass a resolution saying that we stand behind the troops. I would hope that we do not take up impeachment until the hostilities have completely ended."

Conveniently, a delay so near the end of the House term would have caused the vote to be taken up in the next session – when the newly elected House membership would be seated with more Democratic representation, thereby improving Clinton’s chances of dodging impeachment.

The Republicans did, in fact, agree to delay the hearings, but only for a day or two. Amazingly, Clinton ended the bombing raid after only 70 hours -- once it became clear that in spite of the brief delay, the vote would still be held in the current session.

Once the bombing stopped, Clinton touted the effectiveness and importance of the mission. As reported by ABC News : “We have inflicted significant damage on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs, on the command structures that direct and protect that capability, and on his military and security infrastructure,” he said. Defense secretary William Cohen echoed the point: “We estimate that Saddam's missile program has been set back by at least a year.”

Good. This needs more exposure.

As well as all the quotes, from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Albright, Kerry, and Pelosi.

I don't know why this hasn't gotten more attention over the years.
