I think we need to totally revamp and drain the real enemies. The intelligence communities which have turned Anti-American and the corrupt media who gets their marching orders form them.
These are the same Bozo’s who failed to see the fall of the Soviet Union.
Excellent point. They had me convinced but obviously duped Colin Powell and W
Iraq did have WMDs. Tons of stuff. International inspectors had known about it for years, had seen it and knew where it was stored. Some of it was used on US troops in 2003 and later.
What this type of story was actually about was the claim that nobody ever found any material that wasn’t already known about.
They made us choose between Cindy Sheehan and George W. Bush, between Obongo and McCain and Romney. I hope Trump immediately announces something to trigger the hell out of them even more.
The State Department and the CIA have always put their own interests first, not Americas.
Iraq had WMD.
Our guys found tons of them.
Actually, they did find WMD and the factory that made them. They re-defined it as “agricultural pesticide” despite the fact that the factory manager was an Iraqi general, the factory was guarded by Iraqi infantry, and was not on the list of sites provided to the inspectors.
Then, at each and every ammo dump, when they found barrels of nerve agent, again after a few days they would announce “our mistake, its just agricultural pesticide”. And thus, they redefined it out of existence.
At a time when Bush’s presidency hung in the balance on that very issue, I always wondered, who has that power, to redefine it out of existence?
LOL! I used that exact comment last night about “Who you gonna trust?”.
good grief. i hate vanities but, the continued repetition of disinformation by bush apologists on iraq has to be answered.
iraq had no nuclear wmd. period.
the bush justification to the American public for going into iraq was mobile nuclear wmd. everyone has chemical “wmd.” chemical was never a justification for total war. and alone would not have been accepted as such by the American people and certainly not myself.
the nuclear talk turned out to be all hussein bluster and provocation. period. he had some chemical capability. and again everybody has chemical capability. the nuclear was a complete sham created by the state to get into iraq. why?
one of crowning glories of President Trump is that he realized this early on, and didn’t buy into the “rationale” for the iraq war. he panned it from the get go.
I fear America’s own massive, unelected, permanent, debit-racked bureaucracy (especially intel and Fed. law enforcement) for more than Russia, China or Iran.
One look at John Brennan, and you know they are bastards.
In 2003 I was in Iraq, all the way till summer 2004, right outside of Fallujah.
There were WMD, bio labs, long range missiles, etc. But the narrative changed from WMD to Nuclear weapons. His own scientists lied to Saddam about their capabilities and Saddam bragged about what he didn’t really have.
Not Bush’s fault, but their was a lot of culpability on the intelligence agencies.
Even the Bush Hating NYT’s admitted there were wmd’s
BOMBSHELL: New York Times Reports WMDs WERE Found in Iraq!

There were wmd’s- and besides that - Saddam had broken geneva convention rules several times, massacred his own people en mass- and was attacking US pilots flying over the region breaking further rules-
Iraqi’s came to Congress BEGGING the US to remove this madman from power- and everyone in congress agreed it had to be done after listening to horror story after horror story by the escapees testifying in congress- Even democrats supported removing him from power after that- So while WMD’s were present, and justified going to war- the fact remains that wmd’s were not the only reaSON we went to war- there were several other justifications for it
Iraq had WMD’s
