Bush said that there were more reasons than 9/11 to invade Iraq and that people seem to have over-looked that fact.

Clearly here…so have all of you.

here is some for you.

“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the
U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if
appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond
effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of
mass destruction programs.”
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle,
John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and
he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

“Hussein has… chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies.”
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to
deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam
is in power.”
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and
developing weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working
aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear
weapons within the next five years… We also should remember we have
always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of
weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years,
every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and
destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity.
This he has refused to do”
- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show
that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological
weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.
He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including
al Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam
Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and
chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that
Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime… He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation… And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass
destruction… So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass
destruction is real…”
- Sen. John Kerry, 2001

How about a few days ago in the ABC interview with Gibson? Dubya said he had to invade Iraq because they refused to let the inspectors in!! How can the mainstream media allow him to get away with this time after time?

The vote in the Security Council (the only legal way to authorize an invasion) was going to be four for the US’s plan and eleven against. We know this because we bugged their phones. Then we withdrew the proposal and invaded in violation of every law there is. Now he says the entire world agreed with him. The cognitive dissonance of this guy is truly amazing.

The aggressive attack upon Iraq by American forces has been a second 9/11 upon America…

I’m Still Tortured by What I Saw in Iraq

I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq. The large majority of suicide bombings in Iraq are still carried out by these foreigners. They are also involved in most of the attacks on U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq. It’s no exaggeration to say that at least half of our losses and casualties in that country have come at the hands of foreigners who joined the fray because of our program of detainee abuse. The number of U.S. soldiers who have died because of our torture policy will never be definitively known, but it is fair to say that it is close to the number of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. How anyone can say that torture keeps Americans safe is beyond me — unless you don’t count American soldiers as Americans.

… Heck of a Job, Bushie.

Now, America is NOT safer, but instead, LESS SAFE!

I WANT TO HEAR THE DEBATE IN THE SENATE CONCERNING THE REDEEMING VALUES TO BEING LIED TO…

.

Remember that the only reason a person like Colin Powell has had his reputation tarnished was related to his duty to carry out the orders of his President. Yes, he could have refused. But, the point is that if Colin Powell were working for an honest president, his reputation would still be in tact.

His reputation has been trash, since it was revealed he was responsible for the cover-up of My Lai. And then, he was responsible for emptying national guard armories of Tow weapons, ans spares, to send to Iran.

No amount of turd-polishing will ever remove these flaws.
