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 1998The 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.
"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
Problem is, the battle cannot, and should not, be won only in the halls of government. The beast of totalitarianism we hope to slay has many tentacles and a well protected/concealed head. Deception and mis-direction are its stock-in-trade. That said, it has been my contention for some 20 years or more, and to this day, that the useful idiots in the media are the single most pernicious threat to our Constitution and way of life; their influence and reach cannot be understated IMO. How can we get them to renounce their utopian dream of the cradle-to-grave nanny state. Short of a revolution, I see that as our best hope.
Unless you live in a battleground state, VOTE LIBERTARIAN!
Not that it matters, but you have a problem with the CONSTITUTION PARTY?
FGS
That means no hope at all as the media do as they're told.
Not that it matters, but you have a problem with the CONSTITUTION PARTY?
No problem at all, save the relative size of the membership.
So what's new....they've been lying for yrs.
All that matters to them is power, control, vice and their sick version of our future. They will sacrifice the troops, they will sacrifice all of us...they will sacrifice their own on the alter of those Gods.
I pray, and I believe, that the American people see through this and will indicate ity strongly in the upcoming elections, otherwise, things are going to get much worse.
It's a great question, bnecaus if Bush lied (which he didn't) then they lied too. The difference is this...there is actual concern for our national interests, our security and our troops on one side (the ones who actually did something about the issue rather than just talked about it) and there isn't a shred of that real concern on the other.
Best Fregards!
Amen...and it has been from day one. All of their efforts are geareed towards reducing that impediment and they are attacking it on all fronts...educational, moral, family, agricultural, manufacturing, political, national security and the list goes on.
Through their surrogates, they tried to make an example and to create a template in the Klamath Basin in 2001 well before 911...but we fought them back.
Read about that HERE - The Stand at Klamath Falls.
You are very welcome my friend...De Opresse Libre!
Does such a chicken even have lips?
Right and I like simply pointing out that George Bush was the Governor of Texas when most of the those statements were made.Let see who is playing politics with our National Security.
Exactly...he has admitted to atrocities and then tried to project those crimes on all who served there. He is completely and irrevocably bought and paid for by the enemies of this nation.
You are all very welcome! Spread the word.
I am afraid Kerry would be markedly worse, as hard as that is to believe.
A BIG BUMP back.
Lying, oath breaking, perverted and corrupt traitors at that.
You are very welcome.
...and the actions of Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick are real!
IMHO, the horrors like those in that series may play out in real life if we are not extremely careful.
Exactly!
