I, somewhat surprisingly, had to defend this very same assertion only about a week before. So I just quoted from my reply to that gentleman.
Maybe you can answer a question of mine—why are you attacking me as not being conservative when we are talking about a question of fact? Conservatives are the conservators of facts. The enemies of facts are liberals. If my facts are wrong, please show me. I would like to know. I am no liberal. I embrace facts.
Are my quotes from Bush wrong? Does Bush in fact believe that we found WMDs? Please let me know where he claims that we found them. It must be after his memoir, Decision Points, was published in November 2010.
What about Dick Cheney? He has also received a lot of grief over the WMDs. Has he ever claimed that they were found? What about Secretary Rice, Secretary Rumsfield. Surely someone in Bush’s administration would have claimed that WMDs were found if, in fact, they were. This would at least indicate that there is a legitimate controversy about whether WMDs were found, even if Bush believes otherwise.
I am not an agent for the “other side.” I am your friend in the pursuit of truth and justice.
You lie.
The Telegraph is reporting that “Jihadist’s have taken control of Saddams chemical weapons stockpile”
They must be lying. As there weren’t any. Right?
Course, it’s just a little nerve gas. And such.
