*Disclaimer: This is not what it seems. Some of you may think you know it all. Trust me you will be surprise. Below is taken from CNN, but I modified a bit to give you a suspense.. (sort of) ;)

*I added the original source of the news. Read all of this and go to the original source later.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- From the Oval Office, the president told the nation Wednesday evening why he ordered new military strikes against Iraq.

The president said Iraq's refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors presented a threat to the entire world.

"Saddam (Hussein) must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons," the president said.

Operation Desert Fox, a strong, sustained series of attacks, will be carried out over several days by U.S. and British forces, the president said.

"Earlier today I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces," the president said.

"Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors," said the president.

the president also stated that, while other countries also had weapons of mass destruction, Hussein is in a different category because he has used such weapons against his own people and against his neighbors.

'Without delay, diplomacy or warning'

The Iraqi leader was given a final warning six weeks ago, the president said, when Baghdad promised to cooperate with U.N. inspectors at the last minute just as U.S. warplanes were headed its way.

I tried to censor Clinton name first so that it will give an illusion especially to the Leftist thinking that this speech has been made by Bush. The truth is, it was Clinton who given this speech on December 18, 1998. Recently, while on his travel to Middle-East he accused President Bush of misleading the American public. Guess what, if that is true than he must be lying too on December 18, 1998. The different was, this former and unfit president was too busy dodging his shameful act with Lewinski gal from the public so attention was shifted elsewhere.

I took the article from CNN.com but you see, this is actually an article about Clinton wanted and planned to attack Iraq on December 16, 1998.
Democrat was and is still lying about they never agreed that Iraq has WMD. They have long before Bush took the office.

The speech eeriely is almost similar to the one that Bush addressed to the American public the eve before the strike on Iraq back in 2003. Now, the Democrat is shifting blame to Bush with baseless accusations. Flip-Floping as usual. So, it shows that Bush was using the same Intel as Democrat and he never lied. Again, Bush DID NOT lied to the American public.

I would like to apologize for the misleading title but the intention is to make you suspense. If you read the whole thing on CNN website you will get what I meant. Again, Democrat as usualy running from their responsibilities. They pretended that in this world, people never keep records of their actions so they feel like they can do whatever they and and get away with it. Leftist DEMONcrat. For your knowledge, not all democrat are leftist or liberal but very very small portion.

Like I said...it's exactly as it seems.

There was no suspense. I recognized the body of the article being about x42i without going to CNN.

This is FreeRepublic, not WallyWorld. Not many idiots here.

BTW...Welcome to FR (I Think)

This is Hilarious and yet disgusting Doc. Don't wanna have that mental image in my mind or everyone. Clinton with his liberal minded brain might put himself that low. You never know.

Again, Democrat as usualy running from their responsibilities. They pretended that in this world, people never keep records of their actions so they feel like they can do whatever they and and get away with it.

People rarely mention Clinton's bombing of a baby milk factory in the Sudan, which he claimed was making poison gas for Bin Laden. There surfaced zero proof of that.

But his former National Security Advisor Daniel Benjamin is running around now claiming that the strike deterred Sudan from working with Bin Laden. His proof? Evidence unearthed from info found as a result of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Then, in the very same article, Benjamin turns around and condemns Bush for invading Iraq, saying that Saddam (or his kids presumably), would never have worked with Al Qaeda.

Clintonites are sociopaths, people who regularly forget things that are damaging to their self-imagined personas.

Dems don't have to be this way. Truman, aided by the U.S. labor movement, forged a new world through the Marshall Plan, recognizing that security lay in other peoples adopting governments with checks and balances.

I used to respect that party. Not so anymore. They are nothing more than whiners and politics of no policy/objective. Wait, there is one objective. Their objective is to defeat George W. Bush pre-maturely before the 2nd term ended. It doesn't matter if it hurts the effort of the war as long as they can hurt W. personally and all the republicans. I like this time when the President finally had enough of these childish ludicrous accusations and name calling by the leftist, strike back at them.
