Bush says Iraq had no WMDs, at press conference.

[mylife]

BS the world agreed

You pulla thread out of the tapestry

Donald Trump is correct. Colin Powell admits the WMDs were “fabricated.”

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is demanding answers from the CIA and Pentagon after an Iraqi defector stepped forward to admit that he fabricated claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in advance of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

I watched Powell present the pix of whatever it was that was going to Syria...at the UN. (watched on TV).

Powell is a Dem 0bot snake. Along with his son.

Jeb’s lack of fortitude has become tiresome. I wish he’ take a position without fretting about his image. The left has him totally bullied.

Jorge El Segundo. Escucha!! Poison gas = weapons of mass destruction. O.k. o.k.???

[Robert DeLong]

So? When you have sources telling you Saddam has WMD, and you are unable to verify, what would you suggest a President do? Remember Bush tried in vain to get Saddam to allow inspectors in but to no avail.

I am a Trump supporter, however, I think he was wrong. Did he mean what he said or was he pandering? My guess is pandering more than not.

Here it is for the world to see Powell presenting the evidence to the UN.

I know guys who saw em. Several hundred of our guys were injured by them during the search.

But most of them were shipped to syria.

[eastforker]

We know France and Russia were complicit in Iraq’s WMD program. Being that both are permanent members of the UN they would both have to agree to the US invasion. To get them to agree, GWB had to allow them time to get them out of country and they did, also we had to vow that they never existed for their agreement on the invasion.

[combat_boots]

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

[tumblindice]

Fo' Shizzle!

[montanajoe]

Instead of Freepers gonna have to start referring to a lot of folks around here as FreeNuts...

Geez.

I guess Bush lied after all.

It depends on what your definition of WMD is:

What are Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) are defined in U.S. law (18 USC §2332a) as:

1. Any explosive (see below list), incendiary, or poison gas;

- Bomb
- Grenade
- Rocket having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than four ounces,
- Missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce,
- Mine, or;
- Device similar to any of the devices described above;

2. Any weapons that is designed or intend to cause death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals, or their precursors;

3. Any weapon involving a disease organism;

4. Any weapon that is designed to release radiation or radioactivity at a level dangerous to human life

WMD is often referred to by the collection of modalities that make up the set of weapons: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive. These are weapons that have a relatively large-scale impact on people, property, and/or infrastructure.

it was inexcusable to commit America to war on erroneous or incomplete intelligence about nuclear wmd. then he used powell to close the deal. for me the only reasons to go to war with iran, iraq, saudi arabia or any islamo-fascistic tyranny is either a direct attack on us or iron-clad, unmistakable evidence with multiple independent on the ground confirmations of nukes nearing or under actual deployment.

bush invoked the time-honored, “trust me, he has them” argument. so i, for one, did (and full disclosure, i’m not a republican). to my everlasting shame, a more naive version of me bought his and powell’s brand of bs intelligence back in the day on sadam and iraq.

two theories: bush was playing fast and loose and counting on finding the evidence once he was in. or he was lying out right for the ruling classes’ own purposes in iraq. either way, bush’s war against iraq has proved to be disasterous for this nation. bush has a lot of explaining to do; and he has sacrificed a crippling amount of American blood, goodwill, “political capital,” prestige and treasure for what amounts to be a vainglorious, idolatrous, never-ending war.

See what Trump has brought us to?

The money we spent to find out was obscene. Bush should have to pay it all back. What he did to our country is a tragedy. We will be paying for that wasted war for centuries. Stupid........No to Jeb.
