Why do you think we didn’t just go get the WMD’s in Syria or wherever else it was sent?

Russia was supporting Assad .. and if Assad did have the WMD, then Russia would have been willing to challenge us for possession of the WMD.

And .. if anybody remembers, at one time Assad had used chemical gases on his own people; which some believed established that Syria did have the WMD from Iraq..

But in any case, if Bush was willing to lie to not rat out the Russians for giving the crazy Muslems WMD, why wouldn’t he have just created some evidence or story or whatever about WMD in Iraq?

Trump is right. This is cold turkey, folks. The GOP must RID itself of the Bush Crime Family infestation once and for all — to excise Reagan’s biggest mistake for good. Only then can we move on. The man Jeb calls “the greatest man alive” — his father — was a New World Order snake, and scion of the Nazi-supporting Prescott Bush. This family is poison. We need to be rid of them.

Bush was a disaster, his actions got Obama elected who till this day we know little to nothing about prior to his running as the Hopey ... Changey Prez .. translated it was “McCain and Romney will be Bush II and III, elect me I am not Bush!”

Bush bankrupted this nation, there is nothing conservative about him, and now Obama has come close to finishing us off.

Go Trump Go!!

“See what Trump has brought us to? Ammo for the dems.”

Wake up. This is gold for Republicans. Trump is going to use this against Hillary in the General cuz she stupidly voted for the war. You need to catch up. You are still living in 2004 when everyone was cheerleading the vicious lies by the Bush Administration. Get with 2016. New Era and Trump is winning.


Excellent point.

The only thing Trump did Saturday is demonstrate that he ought to be running in the Dem primary instead of the Republican one!

Sometimes I have wondered whether the argument over the WMDs was whether they were nuclear or not.

You are probably correct.

The Left, i.e., the Press, Academe, The Chattering Class, The Protesting Class, all just LOVE inexact, strongly emotional terminology. "Weapons ( "Oooo, EVIL military term!" ) of Mass ("We're ALL going to DIE!") Destruction!!!!!"

"Sexual Assault!" In some utterances by the Left, that can mean anything that passes between a male and a female that is less than Rape and more that "Hello, Miss." On campus today, "Hello, Miss" has been defined as 'Micro-aggression', so they'll nail you for that, also.

Wikipedia (yeah, I know) says "A weapon of mass destruction (WMD or WoMD) is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological or other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to a large number of humans or cause great damage to human-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere. The scope and application of the term has evolved and been disputed, often signifying more politically than technically."

[End of Wiki]

"Raise your hands and step away from that WMD!"

"What WMD?"

"That can of hairspray - it contains CFCs that will cause great harm to the Biosphere! (Peace be upon Gaia)"

Thank you. Revisionist history really bothers me.
That is usually the province of liberals.

Funny, I remember the vast majority being all for invasion, on this board, as well as, the country. You must have been one of the few dissenters. Support for him started waning when he turned to nation building.

But yes, no to Jeb.

Right! But, the stuff everybody wanted .. the chemicals, had been taken away by the truckload.

There was video of the trucks leaving Iraq just about a week or so before we attacked.

What do you mean “rat out the Russians” .. you’re telling me they had evidence it was the Russians who moved the chemicals into Iraq ..??

I knew they were moved; saw the video of the trucks; but I never heard a word about Russia doing the moving. I never got any info about who actually did the moving.

Do you know ..??

Yes you are right, I stand corrected. I do remember now that it was a few months before they finally let them in. After they had let them in they then started playing cat & mouse games with the weapons inspectors.

Abu Musab Zarqawi was pretty much a walking WMD.

Of course, it’s unfortunate we were unable to question Abu Nidal since he was covered in maggots at the time.

I understand why Trump is doing this — it’s to prove a specific point regarding Jeb getting hammered constantly throughout the general any time he tried to change the subject.

We have more pressing issues to discuss.

Yep and even though the Commander in Chief of the military W. Bush admitted it...

We still have people that will argue with W. Bush about this point.

Simply astounding!
