Lol! The Jamie Gorelick memo.

When Dick Cheney put that memo in front of the Democrat committee, C-Span quit covering the investigation and the Dems wrapped it up almost overnight.

Bush lied. They all lied. Y’all should’ve listened to me at the time.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Note Rush’s point that every Republican running for office should be trained on rejecting liberal narratives.

[wny]

When a pubby gets this question, the correct reply is to Hillary Clinton- at this time, what differnce does it make?

[rdb3]

I as ashamed of the number of Freepers (see Kenny500c above) who have bought the leftist party line about Bush

It tells me that there is some unfortunate born every minute who is ready to swallow what they are told over and over again

You're correct. Makes you wonder how they truly are, doesn't it?

Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.

[TangibleDisgust]

...and the metrosexual establishment GOP/RINO leaders cannot and/or will not stand up to the media lies about the Iraq War. that’s why they lost in 2008 and that’s why the GOP is still The Stupid Party.

[TangibleDisgust]

you shouldn’t get your political information from Comedy Central.

[JimSEA]

Drive you crazy doesn’t it? Me too.

[BeadCounter]

Rush is right as usual.

Go ahead and be ashamed. But be honest about that which you are ashamed.

Because it certainly should be about being emotional about a man and his family and using hyperbole to smear fellow FReepers. NONE of which “bought the leftist party line”; we are independent thinkers, unlike most libs and, apparently, some FReepers.

I am a Conservative, pure & simple. I hold no emotion for any one man. I am ‘facts & performance’. I care not for manipulation from my elected leaders. That goes for TWA800, 9/11, Iraq, Benghazi...I could go on ad nauseam.

I also bear the scars of attack for not being shallow & emotional when it comes to a former President that was AWOL when this country needed him most: To prevent reelection of the Puppet.

Unforgivable. One of many failings. Still better than the libs that opposed him in the elections, but a progressive nonetheless that has shown his true colors in his ‘retirement’.

Saddam was convicted of genocide against the Kurds, that wasn’t the pretense of going in there but I’ve got to think stopping him and other things he was doing was a noble gesture. The Kurds have liked us, we’ve got to see with this administration but we have had a good relationship with them. Some woman vet with 3 kids just volunteered to go fight over there with the Kurds.

[woofie]

If yours is an example of independent thought.... good luck

[logi_cal869]

I appreciate the civilized insult.

I will do just fine w/o instruction on how to think from the ashamed.

[Shadow44]

A lie is deliberately saying something is true when you know it isn’t.

Bush honestly believed it. That doesn’t make him a liar. At worst, that makes him wrong.

“Bush Lied” is just character assassination.

U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies,
because the containers with the strategic materials are not in Iraq.



Satellite photo of hundreds of trucks systematically leaving an Iraqi weapons dump, early 2003.
Instead they are located in Lebanon’s heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents,
Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in Wednesday’s (Sept. 2, 2003) weekly edition.

U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebanon in January 2003.
The significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.

U.S. intelligence sources believe the area contains extended-range Scud-based missiles and parts for chemical and biological warheads.

Mutually-lucrative Iraqi-Syrian arms transactions are nothing new.
Firas Tlas, son of Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas, has been the key to Syria’s rogue alliance with Iraq.
He and Assad made hundreds of millions of dollars selling weapons, oil and drugs to and from Iraq,
according to the May 13, 2003 edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com.

The CIA now believes a multi-million dollar deal between Iraq and Syria provided for the hiding and safekeeping of Saddam’s strategic weapons.

Not surprisingly, U.S. inquiries in Beirut and Syria are being met with little substantive response, U.S. officials said.

AND, Bill Clinton gave the Chinese permission to launch our satellites.
Don't you remember Loran ?

And Bill Clinton also gave China the computer technology to forecast high altitude weather, critical to launching missiles/rockets, and then China was finally able to get their second stage rockets to work.

U.S. agrees to sell supercomputer to China, officials say Administration aims to embrace, not isolate, Beijing

So you can personally thank William Jefferson Blythe Clinton for giving China, Pakistan, and North Korea, the ability to get a multi-stage rocket off the ground and the ability to control the satellite/NUCLEAR WARHEAD once launched.
Also along with that was the ability to CONTROL OUR satellites.

No.

I am not saying it is a bad thing, I would feel the same way if someone tried to kill my father.

Democrat Quotes on Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction

http://www.davidstuff.com/political/wmdquotes.htm

“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.”
—President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
—President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

“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

“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
— Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 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 th! e 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

“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. 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 underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Jay Rockefeller (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.”
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

“Without 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 is miscalculating America’s response to his 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, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
