Most Americans, myself included, believed him. Like O’Reilly, I am more than willing to give him time to locate those weapons. However, if he was wrong – more specifically, if what he told us about Saddam and WMD is not true, then he will loose my support and I suspect the support of most Americans, Democrats, Independents and Republicans.
We cannot afford to risk American lives on bad information – they are far too precious. I do not for a minute believe that he would do so maliciously, or for any personal reasons. However, he is the Commander-in-chief and must bear the responsibility for his actions.
I entirely agree. Something's rotten in the State of the CIA and the whole pre-Iraq-invasion intelligence assessment. My mind keeps going back to Scott Ritter who said so confidently pre-invasion that no WMD would be found. I think he's a paid Hussein shill but maybe, just maybe, he's in on something the rest of us don't suspect. I want to know what it is if it exists. Is he part of a political set-up for Bush? (I just located the Alcoa Wrap -- doing head origami).
I see you've fallen for the leftwing propaganda.
The only American's who are raising hell over the lack of hard evidence involving Saddam's WMD programs, are the Bush bashers in the Democratic Party, their fellow liberals in the mainstream media and political malcontents on the fringe rightwing.
PresBush enjoys strong support from his conservative base, rank and file Republican's and fair minded independents.
He quite specifically told the American people that Saddam possessed WMD and posed a real threat to America.
PresBush wasn't the only one to warn the American people about Saddam's WMD programs. Bill Clinton also told the American people about Saddam's WMD programs and that the Iraqi leader posed a real threat to America. And both men where right. Along the way, Bush and Clinton were joined by the British government, Hans Blix, the UN, the French and the list goes on and on and on.
However, if he was wrong ...
There was no wrong doing on the part of PresBush. The President had nothing to gain by deceiving the American people. Bush made the decision to invade Iraq and remove Saddam from power. Anyone with half a brain understands, invading Iraq was a huge gamble for the Bush administration. Saddam's WMD programs existed and the proof of their existence has been well documented through the years. The fact that hard physical evidence of the whereabouts of Saddam's WMD hasn't been found, at this point, means absolutely nothing.
The fact that you agree with Bill O'Reilly and are giving the President till the end of the year to turn up this evidence about Saddam's WMD programs, means absolutely nothing too.
That is clearly an opinion.
Here's 50c...
Etc.
Most specially, it appears, to muslim propagandists.
We can't afford to risk American lives on account of childish propaganda, either.
