Give it up. There were no WMDs. Iraq was a railroad job engineered by Cheney, Rumsfeld, & Co. The power vacuum we created in 2003 has been filled by violent islamists — as I predicted at the time. Obama’s failure is in doing nothing to redeem the situation and in positively supporting the islamists in Syria and elsewhere. Obama took a bad situation and made it worse. But Bush destabilized the region, to his everlasting infamy. Second worst president ever.
saddam destabilized the region with his endless war with Iran and his invasion of Kuwait, and yes, Saddam moved his weapons of mass destruction to Syria and no, I won’t “give it up”
Do you suppose that it was Mono-sodium Glutamate that hussein used on his own people?
Yes. It was all “Cheney, Rumsfeld * Co.” - and Bush, of course. All of it. Everyone else knew Iraq did not have WMDs and was not working on nuclear weapons- EVERYONE - and they were quite vocal about it, too:
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 will be emboldened tomorrow. Bill Clinton in 1998
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. Iraqs 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. Al Gore, 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. John F. Kerry, Oct 2002
Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States. Joe Lieberman, August, 2002
Whereas Iraq has consistently breached its cease-fire agreement between Iraq and the United States, entered into on March 3, 1991, by failing to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program, and refusing to permit monitoring and verification by United Nations inspections; Whereas Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological capabilities, and has made positive progress toward developing nuclear weapons capabilities From a joint resolution submitted by Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter on July 18, 2002
PS - There’s more where those came from...
