WASHINGTON (AP) - Defending his decision to invade Iraq, President Bush said that although stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons have not been found, Saddam Hussein had the capacity to produce such arms and could have developed a nuclear weapon over time.

What really, R-E-A-L-L-Y ticks me off is that the SAME demoncRATS that are pillaring Bush for acting on the Iraq intel are also screaming at 'him' for NOT acting on even LESS intel pertaining to 9-11!

'Oh, you (President Bush) should have connected the dots regarding 9-11 and didn't so you're derelict -- BUT on the other-hand you should have waited for indisputable PROOF on Iraq's WMD's', but DIDN'T so you're ALSO derelict!

You can't have it both ways, you traitorous maggots!!


I did a search and couldn't find this posted. Hope it's not a double post.
