Powell also claimed to the United Nations that the photo on the left showed "Decontamination Vehicles". But when United Nations inspectors visited the site after the invasion, they located the vehicles and discovered they were just firefighting equipment.
Powell claimed the Iraqis had illegal rockets and launchers hidden in the palm trees of Western Iraq. None were ever found.
Powell claimed that the Iraqis had 8,500 liters (2245 gallons) of Anthrax. None was ever found.
Powell claimed that Iraq had four tons of VX nerve gas. The UN had already confirmed that it was destroyed. The only VX ever found were samples the US had left as "standards" for testing. When the UN suspected that the US samples had been used to contaminate Iraqi warheads, the US moved quickly to destroy the samples before comparison tests could be carried out.

I think everyone at the time knew that this administration would exaggerate things in order to get the war started, but every day we get more facts to bring the world to the inevitable conclusion that not only that, they were intentionaly lied to for the purpose of starting a war.

IMO G W Bush (and others) should be put on trial in the Hague charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

But the Big Lie that preceded it was the official account of 9/11, where no evidence at all was presented.

Not impeaching them now, tells all future administrations this type of behavior is OK with the American people.

I think what few people see, is the next war in Iran has already been started. This war has been in the books for a very long time, all part of the big plan for the NWO.
At what cost will it cost us this time around, which state will be destroyed, or bombed just so the Bush administration can have his way.
Dick is already pushing for air strikes, but the question is who will suffer this time around.

LOL!!! I only hope you're being sarcastic, but somehow, I think you're not. You're one of the "24 percenters" aren't you?

Hey I was going to say that! lol He is one of the 24%
I wonder if stickynote gets his talking points from "FOX".
If so then that explains why he is in disbelief, and still one of the 24%. lol
I wonder if he knows about the war with Iran yet.
George and Dick say they have weapons of mass destruction.
Try watching C-Span you will be better informed.

Right, Sticky, I mean what kind of dumb-ass, paranoid, lunatic, "everyone's out to get me", conspiracy nutjob would believe Saddam Hussein had WMDs ?!? And start a war over it!

It's a young century, and as the holes in the arguments get bigger so will the lies. Those at the top still think they can get away with flat denial. I heard the foreign policy of the U.S. involved going in with guns blazing using a scorched earth policy to destroy evidence, accusing 'dissenters' of ulterior motives, and then calling on the United Nations to clean up the mess with no information, and little power. I just thought it could be a case of solving the problem, as the same way they nailed Al Capone. Sure he got away with organized crime, so they got him on tax laws. They are covering what they see is clearly immoral, but Hubris can cause some of the most damning evidence to be for...

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from USA but, what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

Funny how Clinton did not launch an invasion based on that and how the Congress information was curtailed by the WH during the run up of the war. Many Dems have admitted they where wrong and have said so. The mark of a true leader is that he has the ability to admit mistakes and correct them.

Democrats haven't admitted they were wrong, they claim they were lied to by the president. Seems they believe that while he is a complete idiot, he is still smarter than every intelligence agency in the world that thought Saddam still had WMDs (and smarter than them to boot).

WE AMERICANS ARE STOOOOOOOOPIDE! WHAT WE HAVEN'T IMPEACHED THEM YET!!!!!!!! GRRRRRR!!! LOOKS LIKE ETHICS CLASSES HAVEN'T DONE S**T!!!!! LET'S GET THIS STRAIT!!!

Do you know how intelligence agencies work?

They have a best case, average case and worse case scenarios. We already know that this administration cherry picked from each of the three to, especially those that err on the side of caution (worse case scenario). But even if they thought they had WMDs, that merely and excuse, something that was hyped and exaggerated to convince the American people to back and unnecessary and foolish war.

I mean the evidence is overwhelming, from the Down Street memos onward, that this WH was obsessed with going to war against a country that did not posses a military threat against the United States. I mean many countries have WMDs, like, oh lets say, North Korea, but no invasion there. I wonder why?

And you may ask, what are the Democrats guilty off? They are guilty of going along with the flow, not asking the hard questions and going along so that they would not appear "weak". No the burden of this disaster.

AND WHERE ARE THOSE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION????????????????
OH I FORGOT IRAN HAS THEM NOW!!
Chalk up 2 more of the 24% that still support Bush-it. lol
At this rate we will get the rest of them just on this clip. lol
Bush had plans of going into Iraq before he stole the election the first time. He made a statement on national TV saying that he was going into Iraq.
Also Dick had plans before the election as well, that was also documented.
Even though Clinton knew about Saddam Hussein and his so called WMD’s there was never enough evidence to send in troops.

UN inspectors went to the sites where there were claims of WMD’s to be, but never found anything.
Also don't forget about our eyes in...

I don't think there is any oil in North Korea.
Now if there was oil over there then Bush would have been over there already.

Just wanted to point out that there were 21 Democratic Senators and 133 Democratic Representatives who did not compromise their intelligence or principles for political expediency in the face of withering anti-patriotic attacks and lies by the Bush Administration.

People like Russ Feingold, Dennis Kucinich, Paul Wellstone, Ron Paul, Barak Obama, those are TRUE AMERICAN HEROES.

Keep talking, you just prove my point. The left only sees it as a lie when Bush says it.

n2 you just replicate what you have always been guilty of and that is to take snippets of statements without providing the context in which they were stated.

Anybody who knows you knows your guilt in this regard.

The snopes webpage has a pretty good commentary about the kind of trash n2 is posting and reveals context around the quotes he has cherry picked (just like his lying hero Bush or is his lying hero Cheney or Rove, Rumsfeld maybe?)

Check it out for yourselves.

n2sooners lies.

Nah, BobbyRuttan, you must be wrong, only pinkocommyliberals take people out of context. Never mind Curveball, Yellow Cake, Ambassador Wilson (and his lovely wife), the Downing Street Memos and the recent revelations by El Pais. Nope, all one sided, poor W is just misquoted and misunderstood.

Oh and that bridge over there, is for sale....

I went to n2sooners lies, and found that it was all talking points from "FOX NEWS".
Well that explains everything. lol
Cherry picked statements that came from the not so fair and balanced media.
I wonder if n2sooners can think for himself?
