Iraq WMD: From Saddam Regime Documents (YouTube Video)

Thanks for your great Pit Bull approach to this.

WMD or no WMD we did the right thing. Read on....

In November when I was putting Halloween decorations back in the attic I found a newspaper I saved from long ago that I forgot all about.

Tacoma News Tribune
December 20, 1998

Headline: CLINTON IMPEACHED

If that wasn’t amusing enough to read again after all these years, now with his wife running, I notice a story at the bottom on the very same front page that must be read:

U.S. and Britain halt airstrikes against Iraq
Sub-headline, Citing ‘significant damage’, CLINTON SAYS SADDAM MUST BE OUSTED TO AVOID FUTURE THREATS.

BAGHDAD, Iraq – President Clinton ended the air campaign against Iraq on Saturday saying: “I’m confident we have achieved our mission.” Yet despite suffering more than 400 punishing bomb and missile strikes over four nights, Saddam Hussein’s government remained defiant and said it would bar any return of U.N. arms inspectors to the country.

In blunt language, Clinton called for the ouster of the Iraqi leader. “So long as Saddam remains in power, he will remain a threat to his people, his region and the World.” Clinton said.
SNIP

So lets look at just how much of a “continued threat” Saddam really was AFTER Clinton made the above statement. This is just a partial list of the times Iraq fired at American and British aircraft patrolling the Northern No Fly Zone during Operation Northern Watch. Most of the data was not available, like the entire year of 2000. The list also does not include other violations, such as locking air defense radar onto Coalition aircraft, nor does it include the violations in the Southern No Fly Zone, which had an even longer list of violations and firings than in the North. If all the violations were included, the list would be much much much longer.
Sooooooo with all of these documented attacks on our aircraft patrolling the Northern No-Fly Zone AFTER Clinton said “Saddam must be ousted”, why is Bush and Cheney being persecuted for doing just that?

Iraqi Firings : Since 2000, Iraqi forces have fired on U.S. and British pilots 1,600 times. In 2002, Iraqi forces fired on U.S. and British pilots 406 times. Since September 18, just hours after Saddam promised to “allow the return of the United Nations inspectors without conditions” and expressed his desire “to remove any doubts that Iraq still possesses weapons of mass destruction,” Iraqi forces have fired on U.S. and British pilots 67 times.

Again, this is only a Partial list. I also highlighted other important events……
