The Democrats LIED about WMD's in Iraq
ScarryKerry.com ^ | May 14, 2004 | Jeff Head

Posted on 05/14/2004 2:05:25 PM PDT by Jeff Head

Here are few quotes that show the abject hypocracy of the left/democrats/enemy abettors on the issue of WMD's in Iraq:

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps woill be emboldened tommorrow." - President Bill Clinton 1998

"Saddam's goal...is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." - Secretary of State Madeline Albright, 1998
,br> "Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people." - Senator Tom Dashle, 1998

"There is no doubt that...Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear weapons 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 allicit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." - Senator Bob Graham, December 2001

"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." Former Vice President Al Gore, 2002

"I share this administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction." - Richard Gephardt, September 2002

"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." - Senator Edward Kennedy, September 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Fomrer Vice President Al Gore, September 2002 br> "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam 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 Queda members, though there is apparently no evidence in his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. 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. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." Senator Hillary Clinton, October 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 deadlt arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Senator John Kerry, October 2003

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build his chemical and biological warfare capability. intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability." Senator Robert Byrd, October, 2002

"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He already used them against his neighbors and his own people and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." Senator John Edwards, October 2002

"Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement." - Barbara Boxer, November 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." - Bob Graham, December 2002

"Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppresive regime...He presents a particularly grievious threat because he is so consistantly 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." - Senator John Kerry, January, 2003

"I am absolutely confident that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we could see the inspectors being barred gaining entry into a warehouse for hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." Clinton's Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, April 2003
The left's opposition to what we are doing in Iraq has nothing at all to do with what they say in the media and to the people. It is really all about political opportunism, disloyalty to our troops and the reasons they are fighting, ideological sympathy with the enemies of this nation and with their own greed and lust for power.

I beieve that the link to the source for these quotes, under the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" link, has a lengthy quote by Ridder.

Ridder was bought and paid for while in Iraq IMHO, when they took advantage of his perversions. They probably have very incriminating info on him from those days IMHO which was and continues to be used to abjectly and completely turn him.

Yeah, but don't you know they were basing all those statements on faulty evidence drummed up by the Bush administration. That's what I heard Kerry say. The timeline doesn't matter, doesn't matter that anyone previous to George Bush becoming President said it. It all boils down to Bush, it's all his fault.

I use these quotes a lot when discussing WMD with Liberals.

I always like to follow it up with this question:

How then did the Governor of Texas force President Clinton, his cabinet and the Democratic Senators and Congressman to lie about Saddam's WMD?

Thanks for the ping.

As an aside, share with me your thoughts on the following:

Consider:
1. Mass release of photos & videos showing maltreatment of Iraqi prisoners, more than would be done by one or two whistle blowers.
Implication - this was done to inflame Iraqi opinion, which necessitates more US troops, giving impetus to a draft, to further impoverish our country.

2. Massive illegal immigration.
Implication - this is done to lower wages, thereby reducing government revenue and increasing social costs, to further impoverish our country.

3. Transfer of jobs overseas.
Implication - this is done to lower wages, thereby reducing government revenue and increasing social costs, to further impoverish our country.

4. Decline of K-12 educational standards which has led to a subsequent decline in higher education standards.
Implication - this is done to lower the ability of our young to compete internationaly for employment, thereby reducing government revenue and increasing social costs, to further impoverish our country.
Over half of students taking math and physical science in our graduate schools are foreign nationals.

Overall implication - A strong, independent counrty with a proud herritage is the greatest impediment to a one world government.

As the master politician FDR said, nothing in politics happens by accident.
