Now President Bush is Lying: Why?
NationalLedger.com ^ | Dec 20, 2005 | JB Williams

Posted on 12/20/2005 8:21:20 PM PST by PlainOleAmerican

In the President’s address to the nation Sunday the 18th, 2005, he made this statement, “It is true that Saddam Hussein had a history of pursuing and using weapons of mass destruction. It is true that he systematically concealed those programs, and blocked the work of U.N. weapons inspectors. It is true that many nations believed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong.”

This is the confession many Americans have been demanding for years now and for what-ever reason, the President decided to make this confession before the world community in this address. But is this a true and accurate assessment of the situation as we now know it, based on the facts?

I sure hope you set them straight. I have always loved being an American, just as I loved my Italian ancestry. It took me until high school to learn that there were many who saw both as negatives. :)

What is sad is that unless things change in a major way, by the time our children are old enough to join the military they wont know what they're fighting for.

A few?? I'm in Blue Jersey :P

My school does have ROTC and says the Pledge and prayers though.

You should have heard what came out of their mouths after the school did mock elections though. All my children, I'm proud to say, did vote for Bush. But, Kerry won in the school elections.

I would bet the farm Syria has Saddam's WMD's and Russia will stand in the way of our finding out that they are there because they helped too.

The Democrats knowingly helped by stalling the start of the war.

Once Saddam is dead, the Democrats and their media will do a 180 and call the war a failure because we failed to secure Saddam's WMDs. They will pretend he's Mr.Innocent while he's still alive so that he doesn't get mad and tell the world about their involvement in his crimes.

I got zotted my first try. But i stuck around anyway

I've been participating on political discussion BBS's since around the early 90's, before the "Internet" connected us all, as it were. Somehow that long and winding road led me to FR, and from lurking here at first (for a few months) I kinda knew it would be a tough contentious crowd, that I'd have to really be on top of my posts, and that I'd be called on any BS, however minor they may be. I stuck it out too, making a mistake here, a mistake there ... and got completely roasted for some of 'em !! /chuckle

But once ya get the gist of it, FReeper's for the most part are a good bunch of people ... True Americans all of us :)

Did you guys actually read this article?

The article states that Bush's assertion that intelligence was wrong is not correct. It then cites several examples of WMDs that were found and states that most of it was likely moved to Lebanon and Syria.

This isn't a "troll article"

That is how we remain Blue Jersey too.

Let's all thank Congress for now protecting our constitutional voting rights.

This is not an anti-Bush screed. Why don't you trigger happy posters read the article?

Theory: Bush allowed Putin to remove Russian weapons from Iraq just before the invasion to avoid "embarrassment" and tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Russian convoys were seen leaving Iraq via aerial satellite and one such truck was actually stopped by American troops and allowed to leave.

If this scenario really did play out, what did Putin do with the weapons? Did we have an agreement with Putin much as the one JFK secretly brokered with Kruschkev after the Cuban Missile Crisis? Get rid of the weapons and do not let them be used against our troops or turned over to terrorists and we will cover your transgressions by admitting our intelligence about Saddam's WMDs was faulty.
