Funny stuff andsome..........thanks. :P

I guess it was not only Bush who thought they had WMD:

"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 |

"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."

- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 |

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."

- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 |

"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 Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 |

"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."

- Madeline Albright, Feb 1, 1998 |

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."

- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 |

"[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.

- (D) Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, 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 |

"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 mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."

- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 |

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."

- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 |

"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 |

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains 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 capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."

- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 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 |

"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

Do 'ya think that they just may have been carted off to Syria? Hmmm? :rolleyes:

Edit: BTW, what about the 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium we found in Iraq after taking Saddam down?

Do 'ya think that material would be used to make dirty bombs or was Saddam enriching the uranium as a hobby? Hmmm? :rolleyes:

[edbanger]

I guess it was not only Bush who thought they had WMD:

But it WAS Bush along with his poodle Blair that conned the UN into believing that Iraq had WMD.

[deuces wild]

And they did have them so what is your point?

[edbanger]

And they did have them so what is your point?

Links please. Could this be one?

[deuces wild]

Saddam used them on his own people. Do a google search and you will find the links supporting that.

And what about the 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium found? :rolleyes:

[andsome]

The whole point of my thread was to show what an absolute lunatic Bush is. Apart from Islamic extremist leaders, what other president claims to have the ear of God??? What other leader suffers such illusions?

I remember that old saying well. It rings so true in the case of Dubya.

[edbanger]

And they did have them so what is your point?

You must know more than your President and his Defence Secretary.

President George Bush

Speech to supporters in Oak Ridge, July 2004:

Although we have not found stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction , we were right to go into Iraq...

We removed a declared enemy of America, who had the capability of producing weapons of mass destruction and could have passed that capability to terrorists bent on acquiring them....

In the world after 11 September, that was a risk we could not afford to take. We must confront serious dangers before they fully materialise.

Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld

Addressing the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, October 2004:

It turns out that we have not found weapons of mass destruction and why the intelligence proved wrong, I'm not in a position to say. I simply don't know. But the world is a lot better off with Saddam Hussein in jail.

[deuces wild]

Because large stockpiles were not found does not mean they were not there. They are most likely in Syria now. ;)

One would have to be the subject of the following (scroll down) to say Saddam did not have WMD:

There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see. :rolleyes:

[catgate]

There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see

Presumably you are refering to Bush and Rumsfelt, and all the other people desperatly looking for justifiction for slaughter?

[deuces wild]

Nope.........to those who do not believe Saddam had WMD. B)

D.W You have still not told us what you think of the fact that Dubya claims to have the ear of his God. Don't you think that the fact that he claims that God told him to start a war, makes him one of the most dangerous leaders of a country in modern times? Even Saddam did not claim that he murdered so many citizens of his own county because his God told him too. Don't you worry about the fact that the president of the most powerful nation on earth, claims to be on personal speaking terms with God, and that that God is responsible for the war that that president waged?

[edbanger]

Because large stockpiles were not found does not mean they were not there. They are most likely in Syria now.

So DW, you know more than the Iraq Survey Group, set up by Bush to find WMD's. :lol:

[deuces wild]

No. I was not aware of that investigation and report. Thanks for the heads up on it.

[andsome]

Are you denying that Dubya claims to be on conversational terms with God?

[deuces wild]

I am denying nothing as I do not exactly know about the man's spirituality and relationship to God.

That said, it is possible for God to speak to you in subtle ways. One can also speak to God in prayers and thoughts.

The better question would be "Do you believe in God"?

[catgate]

Oh dear!

[andsome]

I think that there is sufficient evidence to say that he has in fact stated that God told him to invade Iraq. My argument is that anyone who claims that God would actually have told him to invade another country, is either trying to fool the world at large, and is a liar, or he genuinely believes it in which case we can have reason to have grave doubts about his sanity. If it is the latter, then we have every reason to worry that there is a very dangerous person in the White House. I think that there are millions in the world who worry about Dubya. His best mate B'liar is bordering on the same problem. He is another fundamentalist Christian. These people are just as dangerous as Islamic fundamentalists.

[deuces wild]

I think that there are millions in the world who worry about Dubya.

Indeed. And there are millions in the world who support him.

Don't get me wrong andsome. I too have questions about the war but going in was based on the best information we had at the time, the same information Blair and other world leaders had.

France, Russia and Germany did not support the initiative only because they were too busy counting their billions from Kofi's dirty Oil for Food scandal.

France is getting their payback now.

His best mate B'liar is bordering on the same problem. He is another fundamentalist Christian. These people are just as dangerous as Islamic fundamentalists

The word Christian seems to be a dirty word to some. Most are peace loving and charitable. The fringe lunatics are the ones we have to worry about.

The same goes with Islamic's. Most are peace loving people. The extremists (terrorists) are not and are the ones who want us dead, including you.

And that is what we are now fighting for.
