The 'Rats should try "brainwashed" (just like G. Romney) and get that Turbined Dick ('Rat, IL) out in front to cry us a river.
Look for the Dems involved with "Phase Two" refuse to sign on to any findings outside of their agenda, regardless of the evidence.
Why do I think that a slogan that translates (roughly) to "We're complete f-ing morons" will not be a successful pitch in 2006?
actually, the republicans should say that they were duped based on the statements of democrats and intelligence findings of the Clinton era.
Tell John Kerry we got the truth on his dumb ass, The Vietnam Veterans who worked with this dork in the Swift Boats gave it to us,. Thats why you lost Dildo-head. John Kerry who voted for the war before he voted against it. Mr flip-flop. Massachusetts should be dropped from the Union for electing Fat Ted and Dishonest John. Just goes to show that Pork will keep you in office no matter how bad you are.
If the dems try this "I was fooled" message, not only will they look like dopes, they'll also look like liars. Most of the loudest "I was tricked" voices were also those who chimed right in on the WMD and Saddam-is-a-threat message prior to the war. So I say, you go for it, dems. Bring it on.
Good point!
This is a tough position to take, given the fact that Saddam's WMDs provided a rational for military acton throughout the Clinton era. Who "brainwashed" the dems then?
Counter ad by the GOP.
The dims saying "we were duped"
Show all the blabbling dims on Iraq pre 2000 including Clinton.
Then just have the words "Duped? By Whom?"
Fade to black.
It's sure to turn out the F-ing Moron base.... Wonder how many Democrat Congressman have responded to email's from Nigeria promising monetary riches?
I REALLY hope the 'RATS use this "We Were Duped" as their campaign slogan in '06 and '08. Americans will be laughing at them all the way to the polls.
"Vote for us! Even a complete moron like Bush can pull the wool over our eyes!"
Yeah right. Here are some samples of the Democrat Lies. Check the dates. Bush wasn't even in office when some of these gems were laid out there:
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom
Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear 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 an ilicit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and
others, December 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities.
Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 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 deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years...We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein 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 Qaeda members .. 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."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 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."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently 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."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
So now the Dems say they were duped? Gimme a Freepin' break.
Exactly! These are the folks who call Dubya dumb. Well, if he's Dumb, who is Dumber?
You're right.

Thanks for posting this - will file it better this time - sending it to everyone on my list. This list gives new meaning to political double speak….if they didn’t mean what they said then, do they ever mean what they say? Duped my foot!
OOOo!!
I have bookmarked your great set of references!
Thanks Bloody Sam!
Oh yea, that'll work. "We were duped". ROFL!!
The Dems actually think that that excuse is going to help them in ballot box? Don't they realize that what they are saying is that ALL of the Democrat representatives in our government were collectively "duped"? Including a Democrat President? If they think this statement should make us think they are the best ones to run this country, then they are not only stuck on stupid, they ought to have that tatooed on their COLLECTIVE foreheads!
