Ummmm, maybe because it is true.
They have spent years trying to force this lie of NO WMD's upon us and are very frustrated over the wasted effort.
1) Afghanistan was a military victory for the coalition.
2) Iraq was a military victory for the coalition.
3) They are both part of the War On Terror.
Liberals are trying any intellectual gymnastic that allows them to deny these simple facts.
Exactly. When they do write about the conspiracy hounds it's to say how educated they are and how they feel persecuted for speaking out against the government. This article is condescending and it's obvious what they are up to.
You know, I am starting to think that society can grow to the point where communications become such that every crackpot lunatic is afforded a perch on which to preach.
Once everyone can communicate with each other, society will fall simply because with so much communication it becomes impossible to tell the truth from the lies. The liars' opinions are never actually discounted when they speak regardless of how many times their lies are discredited. They are just embraced by other liars who have yet to be exposed.
Its death by 24 hour news cycle and there is not a damn thing we can do about it.
It is the MSM that is in denial. We are a long way down the road from when Uncle Walter could lie to us and make us believe it.
Or, how about the 500 or so artillery shells found that contained mustard gas? What about the 4 tons of uranium that was quietly relocated to Oak Ridge, TN? How about the fighter jets found buried in the desert? Although not traditionally considered WMD's, what in the world makes anyone think that WMD's couldn't have been simlarly buried in Iraq and or Syria? What exactly was in all those trucks shown in satellite photo's that were headed to Syria in the days preceeding our invasion? And what about those two tunnel boring machines that Iraq bought from France prior to the '91 gulf war that have never been found?
Yeah, there's a lot of unaswered questions regarding Iraq's WMD's. Mainly, why is the MSM participating in the cover up?
Unfortunately (for MSM) the internet exists, they no longer control the minds of the people. Just look at Reuters, they finally got caught, for all purposes, falsifying news. We've known all about it but now people have the tools to discover it and publicize it without the powers that be controlling it.
Maybe because we've been told by three administrations, the u.n., Israel, Russia, France, etc. for 12+ years. Or maybe it's because Saddam chose to lose his power (soon his life) to protect what?
people are much smarter than the"news"and don't believe all that trash. the medea does not report the new they only report what they want you to believe.
"What do I win?"
A Saddam Hussein bobble head doll with detachable noose.
Photographs of Kurds killed by poison gas was convincing enough for me.
Last month Moshe Yaalon, who was Israel's top general at the time, said Iraq transported WMD to Syria six weeks before Operation Iraqi Freedom began.
Last March, John A. Shaw, a former U.S. deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said Russian Spetsnaz units moved WMD to Syria and Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
"While in Iraq I received information from several sources naming the exact Russian units, what they took and where they took both WMD materials and conventional explosives," Mr. Shaw told NewsMax reporter Charles Smith.
Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong was deputy commander of Central Command during Operation Iraqi Freedom. In September 2004, he told WABC radio that "I do know for a fact that some of those weapons went into Syria, Lebanon and Iran."
In January 2004, David Kay, the first head of the Iraq Survey Group which conducted the search for Saddam's WMD, told a British newspaper there was evidence unspecified materials had been moved to Syria from Iraq shortly before the war.
"We know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD program," Mr. Kay told the Sunday Telegraph.
Also that month, Nizar Nayuf, a Syrian journalist who defected to an undisclosed European country, told a Dutch newspaper he knew of three sites where Iraq's WMD was being kept. They were the town of al Baida near the city of Hama in northern Syria; the Syrian air force base near the village of Tal Snan, and the city of Sjinsar on the border with Lebanon.
In an addendum to his final report last April, Charles Duelfer, who succeeded David Kay as head of the Iraq Survey Group, said he couldn't rule out a transfer of WMD from Iraq to Syria.
"There was evidence of a discussion of possible WMD collaboration initiated by a Syrian security officer, and ISG received information about movement of material out of Iraq, including the possibility that WMD was involved. In the judgment of the working group, these reports were sufficiently credible to merit further investigation," Mr. Duelfer said.
In a briefing for reporters in October 2003, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper Jr., who was head of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency when the Iraq war began, said satellite imagery showed a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria just before the American invasion.
"I think the people below Saddam Hussein and his sons' level saw what was coming and decided the best thing to do was to destroy and disperse," Lt. Gen. Clapper said.
The true story is not that Americans do believe there were (and still are) WMDs but that over half the American population no longer believes the bullsh*t propagated by the MSM...........that is the story!
