Chris Matthews: 'There Was No Intelligence Saddam Had WMD. Never'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

It's easy for people--with the possible exception of Jeb Bush--to say that they would not have supported the invasion of Iraq knowing what we know now about WMD there.

But Chris Matthews took things a foolish step further on this evening's Hardball, actually claiming that "there was no intelligence they had a weapon. Never was." Really? So Hillary, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, Ted Kennedy et al. were collective fabricators when they issued dire warnings, based on the intelligence they had seen, about Saddam's WMD?

She was 5 years old on 9-11-01. Now she’s a 19 year old Mynah Bird who can spit out the drivel her socialist professor has told her faster and louder than any of her teenage classmates.

Then he best grill Hillary Clinton about why, as Senator from New York, she voted in favor of Gulf War II.

And is it just me or does Chrissy look more and more like a bag lady every day?

Every time this lunatic utters one of his ravings, I realize why his station is at the bottom in the ratings. I tend to believe that each of his asinine rants brings the station down several more points. And deservedly so.

Certifiable Chrissy needs to tell that to more than 100,000 victims of Saddam Hussein's WMDs.
Saddam Hussein used WMD time and again against the indigenous Iraqi Kurd population and against the Iranian military in the protracted 8 year Iran/Iraq conflict.
WMD were found in Iraq, though most of the WMDs were spirited off primarily to Syria in the 14 or so month run up to the war as Saddam Hussein foolishly played cat-and-mouse with the UN inspectors.

The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday,[1] was a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people that took place on March 16, 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Southern Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal campaign in northern Iraq, as well as part of the Iraqi attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the fall of the town to Iranian army and Kurdish guerrillas.

The attack killed between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injured 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians.[1][2] Thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack.[3] The incident, which has been officially defined as an act of genocide against the Kurdish people in Iraq,[4] was and still remains the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history.

Chris Matthews: 'There Was No Intelligence Saddam Had WMD. Never'

So the fact that he actually USED them doesn't count as proof he had some?? Although, you can't really blame Chris, I'm sure he's very fuzzy on the definition of the word "intelligence". Or....maybe this is another one of those liberal moron "IS word" thingies.

“He really is stupid.”

Yes and he proves it every time he opens that big yap of his. I wonder if MSNBC is secretly harboring a death wish. They simply don’t seen to care about their reputation.

“I may be nuts. (my wife will confirm it, if asked), but didn’t Saddam Hussein actually use mustard gas and nerve gas (WMD’s) against the Kurds? “

That isn’t the WMD you were looking for.

Yeah, no kidding! But we both know her parents are forking over the moolah which is another indication as to why she turned out to be a walking tape recorder with no ‘off’ switch.

No offense to those who are pursuing serious careers through college but that kind of money could go to a two year community college business degree, startup money for a business and a large cushion of cash to see a business through its early years. With far less loan interest to pay off.

I was going to comment, “Ouch, that’s going to leave a mark on Crissy!”

Upon further reflection on the depth, breadth and comprehensiveness of your documentation refuting his assertion, I believe that Mr. Tingles may well be in the ER or ICU.

We done!
