Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, here is the reason...

Jay Rockefeller Warned Syria of Iraq War Intentions)

IOW, the Bush Administration did not plan on having a traitor give our war plans to the enemy. Jay Rockefeller went to Syria in January and Saddam started moving the WMDs immediately afterwards, according to all reports that say the WMD was moved in the three months preceding our invasion.

recollection:

twelve years of negotiating in the UN

many UN resolutions flaunted by Iraq during that time

failure to abide by surrender conditions after Desert Storm

firing on American and British aircraft in the protected zone

denial of Un inspectors searching for nuclear bomb components

and more - (aged memory beginning to fade)

where is the lie?

So by your theory Saddam was not involved in WMD nor was he involved in sponsoring terrorism.

You sincerely don’t believe that, do you?

Saddam was up to his eyes in sponsoring terrorists. If you want to say that didn’t include Bin Laden, then have at it.

And Saddam was not about to give up his WMDs. From his perspective they were a source of power he could use against the US.

Chew on this: We couldn’t find Saddam’s Scud rockets during the Gulf War. Thousands of eyes on the ground, in the air and around the world looking for these things and yet he was able to keep them safe and kept firing them. Did we ever find them? If not, I suppose that means he never had them or got rid of them, right?

"The DEM position was to use inspectors."

Yes. And the democrat a$$holes wanted to keep doing it forever. Iraq had 12 freakin' years to show they disarmed. How long did the democrats think was reasonable? 30 years? Then you hear about how we should have allowed "sanctions to work" but then the democrats complained that it was "hurting the Iraqi people". No mention of Oil for Palaces of course.

(((I thought we went to war with Al-Qaeda and any terrorists who directly threatened us. ... Of course, the falsehood that Iraq was directly connected to the 9/11 attacks )))

Wrong and misleading. No one said anything about a “direct” link except you and your Demmasters. A “link”, showing rats involved in something together, is good enough for me.

Ray Robinson tells the story best.

I believe there is a connection still.
