Today Chris Wallace was at his partisan worst when he repeatedly asked Rubio an argumentative and moot question in an obvious and sustained effort to make him (Rubio) visibly angry. Good for Rubio that he didn’t take the bait. The question is “Knowing that WMD didn’t exist, was it a mistake for GWB to go to war in Iraq (Gulf II)?”. The question is based on a false premise. We know Sadam had WMD because he used it on Iranians and the Kurds. Media types fixate on the idea that large quantities were not found in the aftermath of Gulf II. Some of it was found and more important Colin Powell stated at the United Nations that the WMD could be evacuated before we get there to search for it. Gen. Powell was prescient. Rubio pointed out that no president can make decisions based on what he’s going to know in the future. It isn’t possible.
Republican reap a harvest of bogus questions because they don’t correct the false narratives fabricated by leftist mouths and press. Records need be corrected in real time.
H.J. Res. 114 (To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq. 2002/01/23), recites a laundry list of grievances that the United States and the U.N. had against Sadam not all of them related to WMD. Sadam didn’t keep the cease fire agreement ending Gulf I, was an ongoing threat to world peace, and continued to support international terrorism.
Mr Wallace also forgets: three mustard gas IED shells, one sarin IED shell.
Even one shell is proof.
Mr. Rubio, try being a true conservative instead of a pro-amnesty hack.
I don’t care who the candidate is....this is a stupid, meaningless question from a lazy gang of overpaid libtard mediots.
It was a despicable performance by Wallace. He kept badgering Rubio regarding Rubio’s response to a female reporter’s questioning about going into Iraq.
I would put this on about the same level as Steffie and the question about states banning contraception (none were ever considering that) to Romney in the debate.
And, of course, the Crowley cover to Obama regarding Obama calling Benghazi a terrorist act.
Republicans need to accept the fact that these so-called journalists are not their friends and never will be.
I remember seeing a video of trucks moving something into Syria, assumed to be WMD. Also wasn’t there some other evidence that Bush just let the lies continue about because he didn’t want to embarrass our allies? That was one of his problems, too nice.
Quite frankly, I am sick of this entire subject.
Is this crap going to be re-litigated each and every election, FOREVER???

Always assume that all members of The Ministry Of Propaganda will try to make any Republican look bad.
In Rubio’s case, it doesn’t take much, he’s still an amnesty shill, having learned nothing from his Gang activities scheming with Schumer against the citizens.
Except maybe that he needs to lie more convincingly.
Free Republic was all over that in real time.
I saw the videos also, lots of semis heading for Syria.
Reported they had MWD’s and millions in USA dollars.
Yes, Sadamm used WMD gas on the Kurds, his own Iraqi people.
Plus a bunch were found and muffled by the media, and traces of where they were was quite evidential.
Remember how the dems stonewalled about going in quickly?
They were responsible for the WMD’s that left the country.
Proof is that Syria has used them many times since they got them from Iraq.
Saddam even tried to use them against our troops, but the wind shifted and sent the gas back to his men!
Yeah; I was really surprised. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Chris Wallace treat any interviewee like that.
It appears that Chris really is his father’s son.
Why not badger Hillary who did vote for the war, no hypothetical required. Uh, sorry, I forgot, she does not take questions.
If Rubio is the Republican savior, they’re already dead.
Absolutely. Even if it takes the whole interview. Conservative Republicans should come loaded for bear.
Yup. I heard most of the interview. Wallace's mendacious twisting of the issue and unwarranted intrusive interruptions said all that needs be said about this poser. Worthless spawn of the unethical sewer, reveals his true stink.
Dr Death had enough bio weapon samples in her vanity to restart Saddam’s entire program.
