OT--Democrats On Record Concerning WMD
 
Just so these statements won't go away, Republicans will keep posting these
over and over and over again.




"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 F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003


"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


"Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all
weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to
its
agreement." -- Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002


"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to
build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence
reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not
yet
achieved nuclear capability." -- Robert Byrd, October 2002


"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf
and we
should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to
weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass
destruction
has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it
will
continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 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,
though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the
terrible
events of September 11, 2001. 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.
Should he
succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security
landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects
American
security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our
allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades,
Saddam
Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available
means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has
already
used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to
build
more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear
weapons,
and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." --
John
Edwards, Oct 10, 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. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to
enriched uranium from foreign sources -- something that is not that
difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always
underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of
mass destruction." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002


"I will be voting to give the president of the United States the
authority
to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe
that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a
real
and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002

"There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United
States
and to our allies."
Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean
September 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and
developing
weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002


"I share the administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons
of
mass destruction." -- Dick Gephardt in September of 2002


"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandates
of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and
the
means of delivering them." -- Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002

"This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors
last
visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has
reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological,
chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf
War
status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is
doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-
range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." --
From
a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold
Ford,
& Tom Lantos among others..

"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

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten
times since 1983." S
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], 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

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of
threat
Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to
use
them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam
and
all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened
tomorrow." --
Bill Clinton in 1998

"Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass
destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them
against his own people." -- Tom Daschle in 1998

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that
the
proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave
importance to all nations. 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." -- Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998

"Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible
intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons inspectors] suspects that Iraq
still
has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium
perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and
ballistic
missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these
deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX
substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is
stored
in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq
retains
significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to
rapidly
reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production." -- Ex-Un Weapons
Inspector Scott Ritter in 1998

You ****ing dweeb.

We had the right to hunt down the assholes that perpetrated 9/11. They
were living in Afghanistan under Taliban protection.

Pre-emption *wasn't* an issue.

Saddam didn't have **** all to do with 9/11, wasn't a threat and hadn't
attacked our country.

Pre-emption *was* an issue.

You and Dick "Mobile Weapons Lab" Cheney need to get that straight.

Pre-emption was and is a frightening concept, bad policy and calloused
path to resolving "suspected" threats. I couldn't think of a better
example of it's pitfalls than what we've witnessed in Iraq. We invaded
their country and killed tens of thousands based on bad information.

Try to defend pre-emption as a state policy. ****ing idiot Bush.

Time Magazine recently ran a story which indicated that according to polls,
Bush was second only to Nixon in his biggest accomplishment: Dividing the
country almost evenly on major issues, like the war. Keep this in mind.
Because of the way he has conducted himself, no patriot alive will consider
your boy trustworthy.

Clinton signed the Iraqi Regime Change Act. I guess you're saying that
those were just words that had no meaning? Was he not a man of his word?
Was he not a man of conviction? Afterall, he fell into the trap several
times (after the attempted assassination on an ex-President, and after the
UNSCOM inspectors were kicked out)...and launched a bunch of million dollar
missiles.

Bush is a man of conviction. He's a man of action, not words. And when he
says something, he means what he says.

If you want examples of spineless guys (and a couple of gals), who *DON'T*
mean what they say, then read below:

He's indeed a man of convictions: two for drunk driving and one for

If Bush is a man of action, it is because he is too stupid to think

So dementia is a reason to excuse the guy's murderous ways, eh? Sorry, but
that ploy didn't work for Vincent "The Chin" Gigante either. Saddam was
openly paying bounties to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. He
was pursuing long range missile technology from N. Korea. He maintained all
of his scientists, technology, and documents to continue with his pursuit of
WMD's. And, finally, there's enough circumstantial evidence for a
reasonable person to conclude that he was involved (via monetary and
intelligence aid), with several terrorist attacks against our country since
1993.

Yeah, many of which died using the weapons and materials we supplied!!!
Most of those murdered were dead years before our little dubious

I'll post this editorial from the Washington Post for you too:

************************************************** ************8
Mr. Kay's Truth-Telling

Thursday, January 29, 2004; Page A28


GIVE DAVID KAY credit for courage. The recently departed chief of the
Iraq Survey Group was one of those who confidently predicted that
stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons would be found in Iraq
after the U.S.-led invasion. Yesterday he straightforwardly told a
Senate committee hearing that "we were almost all wrong." There were,
he said, almost certainly no large stocks of illegal weapons in Iraq
and no evidence that any had been produced in recent years. Mr. Kay
has chosen to go public with this disturbing news not because he
wishes to embarrass the Bush administration or cast doubt on the
mission in Iraq but because he believes it vital that the faults in
intelligence gathering that led to the mistaken weapons estimates be
identified and corrected. There is indeed a critical need for such a
review: U.S. security in an age of proliferation and terrorism depends
on it. What a shame that, rather than accept Mr. Kay's conclusions,
both the president and his Democratic opponents prefer to play them
for political advantage.



President Bush and most of his aides have quietly backed away from
their once-unambiguous assertions that Iraq possessed weapons of mass
destruction. Mr. Bush now speaks of
"weapons-of-mass-destruction-related program activities" or, as he did
Tuesday, doggedly insists that Saddam Hussein was a "danger." Mr.
Kay's team has documented those activities, and the former inspector
agrees with the president's characterization of Saddam Hussein -- as
do we. The problem is that Mr. Bush has not taken the next step, which
is to admit that the intelligence that he was provided by U.S.
agencies and that he and his administration then relayed to the
country -- sometimes in exaggerated terms -- was substantially
mistaken. To do so might be politically perilous in an election year;
it's far easier to argue, as the administration has, that we must wait
many more months before drawing any conclusions. But the truth cannot
be put off forever, and it should not have to wait until after
November. The longer Mr. Bush delays, the longer it will be before
intelligence agencies can be held accountable and reforms undertaken.

Democratic members of Congress and presidential candidates are not
making a responsible reckoning any easier. Instead they have attempted
to twist Mr. Kay's conclusions to serve their arguments that Mr. Bush
fabricated a case for war against a country that posed no serious
threat. Mr. Kay punctured those theories yesterday. He bluntly told
Democratic senators that he had found no evidence that intelligence
analysts had come under administration pressure to alter their
findings; pointed out that the Clinton administration and several
European governments had drawn the same conclusions about Iraq's
weapons; and stated that his investigation showed that Saddam
Hussein's regime was in some ways more dangerous than was believed
before the war -- because its corruption and disintegration had made
it more likely that weapons or weapons technology would be sold to
"others [who] are seeking WMD." That didn't stop Howard Dean from
charging on the campaign trail that "the administration did cook the
books" -- an allegation that, so far as Mr. Kay's testimony is
concerned, is false.

The partisanship and demagoguery that have overtaken the discussion of
Iraq's missing weapons mean that investigations of the intelligence
failure by the Bush administration or Congress are unlikely to be
thorough or credible. The only proper approach to the problem,
suggested yesterday by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and quickly seconded
by Mr. Kay, is an independent inquiry. The president and Congress
should agree on the appointment of an expert, nonpartisan commission
with full secrecy clearance and subpoena power to examine why the
intelligence on Iraq proved wrong and to report on how such failures
can be prevented in the future. "It's not a political issue," Mr. Kay
told National Public Radio. "It's an issue of the capabilities of
one's intelligence service to collect valid, truthful information."
************************************************** *****

In case you missed it, I'll repeat it:

"Democratic members of Congress and presidential candidates are not
making a responsible reckoning any easier. Instead they have attempted
to twist Mr. Kay's conclusions to serve their arguments that Mr. Bush
fabricated a case for war against a country that posed no serious
threat. Mr. Kay punctured those theories yesterday. "

I don't know if the Post meets your respectability criteria.

Really?

Bush has at least three convictions, two for drunk driving and one a
nolo plea to the New Haven case.

There's no evidence Bush knows a thing about geography.

I agree that he is a man of action, not thought. He has no thoughts.

I'm wrong, eh?

Perhaps in your black or white world.

NOBBY is still trying to link the two and thereby justify pre-emption as
a policy. It's stupid policy that should only be used in movie scripts
that star Arnold.

Here's what he failed to include in his response because it made his
previous statement look foolish. It drew the necessary distinction
between Al Queda and the person oft called a "terrorist," Saddam.


NOW ENTERING CUT MATERIAL:

We had the right to hunt down the assholes that perpetrated 9/11. They
were living in Afghanistan under Taliban protection.

Pre-emption *wasn't* an issue.

Saddam didn't have **** all to do with 9/11, wasn't a threat and hadn't
attacked our country.

Pre-emption *was* an issue.

You and Dick "Mobile Weapons Lab" Cheney need to get that straight.

Pre-emption was and is a frightening concept, bad policy and calloused
path to resolving "suspected" threats. I couldn't think of a better
example of it's pitfalls than what we've witnessed in Iraq. We invaded
their country and killed tens of thousands based on bad information.

Try to defend pre-emption as a state policy. ****ing idiot Bush.

NOW LEAVING CUT MATERIAL.

Graham, Barbara Boxer, Robert Byrd, John Edwards, John Rockefeller, Howard
Dean, Dick Gephardt, Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, or Madeline Albright lied when

from each of them. How do you explain those quotes?

Do you honestly believe all of those Democratic leaders were lying when they
read the same intel reports as Bush and came to the same conclusions as
Bush?

If you want to argue about the correct way we should have dealt with the
threat (rather than war), then I'm open to discussion. However, if you want
to claim Bush lied about WMD's, but the Democrats didn't lie when all of
them made the same exact statements since 1998, then you're a putz.

None of the others you mentioned had a political agenda for invading Iraq.

Further, none, if POTUS, would have decide on the 2nd day in office, o
invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

Further, all would have paid more attention to what obviously was the
correct assessment on the part of the UN.

Bush was and is a war-mongering asshole. You can rationalize all you
want, but the fact remains that Bush lied, bull****ted and hoodwinked us
into Afghanistan and Iraq.

The problem is, after he lied, bull****ted and hoodwinked himself, he
pulled the same crap on us.

There's a reasonably good chance now that Bush has delivered himself a
fatal blow. If he is defeated in November, the next President can devote
himself to repairing our reputation around the world from the
devastation heaped upon it by the incompetent ass now in the White House.

Yes, there was disagreement about how to deal with Saddam. However, there
was ZERO disagreement about the evidence. Thus, there was no "lie". Get

One certainly has to have some doubt after reading the Thielmann interview,
the Kay report and then the Powell interview in October of last year with
Tony Snow. All of Powells comments were proved wrong by Kay.

I have not made up my mind on this but I certainly support a full
investigation into the matter so the American public knows the true story
before the elections. I cannot understand why Bush is not supporting such
an investigation.

Actually, the WMD's were one of *many* reasons we went into Iraq to remove
Saddam. However, as Wolfowitz said, they "chose the one area issue everyone
could agree on".

What do you tell the families? You tell 'em the several other reasons
Saddam needed to be removed...including his assassination attempt on an
ex-President, his financial (and possibly logistical )support of terrorists,
his violation of UN resolution 1441, his historical aggression towards other
oil producing countries in the Middle East, and his active pursuit of
biological and nuclear weapons. To most rationale people, those are
sufficient reasons to use our military.

It's not a matter of whether or not the practice of assassination is
legitimate...I think it is. However, it's also legitimate for the intended
leader (or his country...or his son) to strike back. If you're the weaker
force, then it's stupidity to wake a sleeping giant.

If Castro has a beef with Kennedy's attempt on his life, then he can seek
revenge...and perhaps he already has.
