Reminds me of something.

Did you happen to read the summary of the FBI report that was just made
public.
This is very recent. Obama's FBI. Didn't make major headlines, of
course.

It reports the results of a major post mortem of the Iraq issue, from
beginning to end.
It focuses on Saddam's activities, his state of understanding, his
realization that Baghdad was lost and his hiding until captured.

It also recounts the pre-war mindset of Saddam and the various
intelligence
agencies (ours and other nations) information and beliefs at the time.
Simplified, the story was this:

Saddam promoted the perception that he indeed was in possession of weapons
of mass destruction.
He was not concerned about the UN or the USA. He didn't believe Bush
would
pull the trigger and invade.

His concern was Iran. He wanted to keep them at bay by perpetuating the
rumors and stories of his WMD stockpiles.

So, Saddam said he had WMDs.
The CIA believed he had WMDs.
The FBI believed he had WMDs.
Intelligence agencies of other countries believed he had WMDs.
Clinton believed he had WMDs.
Kerry believed he had WMDs.
In fact, most of Congress believed he had WMDs and are on record as saying
so.
Why not? Saddam said he had WMDs.

But when Bush said Saddam had WMDs, he lied.

Congratulations Richard. Most on the left had this figured out six
years ago.

Everyone believed Saddam had weapons but there were a ton of folks who
were arguing to let the inspectors do their job and had a pretty good
idea Saddam was bluffing.

This **** really started to stink when Bush went into full-rush mode.

You probably didn't notice with all that flag waving and rah rah you
were doing.

To what end? We're ****ed for 3 trillion, everyone hates us and we've
done nothing to rebuild education, infrastructure or ensure job
retention in our country.

Osama bin Laden just had to tip the first domino and our leadership
took over from there.

Good thing it only took you six years to discover the truth.

Congratulations again.



Were you vacationing on Jupiter or something when this was happening?
You don't recall Saddam kicking the inspectors out?
You don't recall him letting them back in, but the Chief Inspector threw in
the towel due to restrictions imposed by Saddam?
You don't recall about 6 months of UN hearings and calling for Saddam to
come clean?

The left didn't catch on to anything. They have simply rewritten history
for convenience.

You don't recall a U.S. president named George W. Bush who was eager to
start a war of convenience?

Nope.

I remember a U.S. president named George W. Bush who patiently utilized the
UN for over 6 months to call upon Saddam to come clean on his WMD's, to
allow the weapons inspectors back into Iraq as agreed to and stipulated at
the conclusion of the first Gulf War, to stop firing at UN endorsed no fly
zone patrols, all while the CIA, FBI, and other national's intelligence
agencies reported the existence of WMDs and Saddam not protesting much.

Only after none were found and election time was on the horizon did the "He
lied to us" BS start.
If he lied to us, he also lied to and convinced people like Colon Powell,
who I don't think lowers his integrity to support a "lying" president.

He lied to us and he lied to Powell. To this day it's Powell's
biggest failure of his career and the event he most regrets.

Bush knew the intelligence was bull**** and used it anyway.

Petulant child running the country. The guy you voted for twice.
