We need to know the truth about this. Everyone should put aside their pre-conceived notions and demand congress investigate and find the truth. We must demand that the investigation not be a white wash.

It is to everyone's long term best interests to get the truth out and not blindly follow your leader. Remember that history will know the answer with full certainty.

Even loyal Republicans must get in front of this and assure themselves with facts, not with party loyalty of their position or risk hurting the Republican party for a generation. Think back to Watergate. Do you want 10 to 15 years of unchallenged Democratic rule because the public is disgusted with Republicans?

Let us all urge Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, the chairman of the relevant committee, to put aside his party loyalty long enough to determine the truth without bias or white wash.

Back in 1998 the Democrates were giving all the same reasons for taking out Saddam, and in 2003 it finally happened. History will show Pres. Bush did what the country ( at least many in the Democrate Senate) wanted Clinton to do.

The truth? Would these people--the liberals and the axis of weasels--know the truth if it exploded in their laps, like it did on 9/11?

We've found wmds, we and the axis of weasels have known about the wmds--and the rest of this is just an excuse to attack what was a just and a successful war. The ones telling the "big lie" are not the President and his admin, but the weasels. Pity that some freepers are buying into it.

It's not as if President Bush made up the WMD issue. It was there before he was.

The idea that you would jump to the conclusion that there was something sneaky going on on our side rather than see the more likely scenario, that SH hid, destroyed, and/or moved the weapons shortly before or even during the war, shows your bias. You trust Saddam Hussein more than you trust George W. Bush.

To accuse people of blindly following who use common sense rather than get hysterical three minutes after the WMD search begins is ludicrous.

Remember that history will know the answer with full certainty.

"History" can't even agree whether FDR knew about Pearl
Harbor in advance, or not.  And that was sixty years ago.

...."determine the truth ..."

CNN ^ | Feb. 17, 1998 | Bill Clinton - Text of President Clinton's address to Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon staff on Iraq. [Excerpt]:

"...Previously, it [Iraq/Saddam] had vehemently denied the very thing it just simply admitted once Saddam Hussein's son-in-law defected to Jordan and told the truth.

Now listen to this, what did it admit?

It admitted, among other things, an offensive biological warfare capability notably 5,000 gallons of botulinum, which causes botulism; 2,000 gallons of anthrax; 25 biological-filled Scud warheads; and 157 aerial bombs.

And I might say UNSCOM inspectors believe that Iraq has actually greatly understated its production.

As if we needed further confirmation, you all know what happened to his son-in-law when he made the untimely decision to go back to Iraq.

Next, throughout this entire process, Iraqi agents have undermined and undercut UNSCOM. ...".
