Can this clown Greeley beat a dead horse or what?

The WMD question is NOT a dead horse. No one who values justice or freedom would let it die. We still need to know did the president lie to us or was he fooled by his advisors? If the second, why are they still around?

How did it come to be that a large majority (roughly 70%) actually believed that Saddam planned the 9/11 attacks? Was this a great text book example of perception management(Propaganda when the Russians did it)?

There is no way that removing a bad guy dictator in another nation, that was no threat to us was justified. If we buy that as justification, we need to expect another dozen or so wars of invasion in the second term.

If you ignore the events of the last 20 years or so and begin your history with 2003, you're absolutely right.

When did it become a legitmate question IF Hussein had WMDs?

Because prior to 9-11, there were very few people on the planet, outside of Scott Ritter, who didn't believe and state for the record that Iraq was in posession of WMDs.

Hussein was horribly defeated and embarassed in Kuwait. He attempted to assassinate GHW Bush. He pays the families of suidice bombers in Israel. He was hip-deep in sponsoring terrorism for years.

Why is it so hard to make the connection?

Repeating that, no matter how often, will not make it true.

The recent actions of Qadaffi says you are wrong.

That's right. We must keep government awake and keep them answering to us in every way and time possible.

I have been esp concerned with the quality of advice the President is getting from his advisors, and that is being optimistic.

Your tagline explains your view of humanity - see no evil, hear no evil, pretend there's no evil.

Who cares if we find WMD or not, that was a mis-direction play in the 1st place. Saddam is gone. Iraq is in the bag. The rest of the Mid-East nitwits have been put on notice.

Anyone who doesn't know that those were the things we were out to achieve, hasn't been paying attention.

You need to check out ebay. They are selling clues real cheap. Obviously you don't have one and are in dire need of one. Happy shopping.

Some WMD HAS been found - do some research.

The truth is coming out about Saddam's connections to AlQaida, and will link to 9-11. Be patient.

Qaddafi didn't give up his WMD b/c he got bored with them.

Your statements are ridiculous.

[jveritas]

As I told in another post we will find the WMD or what happened to it. The President did not lie to us and he was not fooled by his advisors. Just relax my libretarian friend.

[Old Student]

Just might have something to do with the mural they found showing airliners with Iraqi markings crashing into the WTC. That convinced me pretty thoroughly.

This just mystifies me. The whole world had known for 12 years that Sadaam had WMD! The Democrats and the liberal press makes it sound like the whole idea of WMD was born from the fruitful imaginations of GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice, et al. In fact, the UN passed the sanctions and all those resolutions, and sent weapons inspection teams on the intelligence developed by the agencies of SEVERAL nations, and because the fact that Sadaam actually USED chemical weapons, both in the Iran-Iraq war and against the Kurds.

The only reason there is questioning about this is that the Democrats have twisted what the President said in his statements about the war, and the media has repeated the lies, ad nauseum.
