Bush Lied People DiedVic Biorseth, http://www.Thinking-Catholic-Strategic-Center.com The Sacred Mantra of the Left: The Leftie line goes: Bush, single-handedly and all alone, fooled everyone into a war based on one single solitary point, that point being that Sadam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).You are likely to hear that, daily, from one quarter or another. I even heard it from my own brother-in-law. Not surprising, since it matches the incessant drumbeat of the SLIMC, which owns the mainstream news media spin machine, and which owns the mainstream news media popularity poll machines. But, of course, the history is there for the perusal of the truth-seeker. The Left would like you to forget the history, the negotiations, the resolutions, the other reasons, and perhaps most importantly, Bush's speeches to the UN and to the US regarding Iraq War II. But they just can't kill history. As a reminder, although the WMD question was the real biggee, here are some of the other reasons for Iraq War II:
You might not remember the Israeli raid that bombed an Iraqi nuclear power facility that was enriching uranium to make nuclear bombs with which to destroy Israel. The Left would like you to forget it; but it happened. Do you think Iraq's nuclear bomb ambitions were just a figment of Israel's imagination? But the Leftie chant remains: "Bush lied people died" - repeat. You might not remember all the thousands of Kurds who were gassed by Sadam in Northern Iraq, or the untold numbers of Iranians who were gassed during their war with Iraq. Do you think that gas was a figment of the imaginations of the Kurds and the Iranians? And the Leftie chant remains: "Bush lied people died" - repeat. Yet you will still hear lots of Lefties claiming that Iraq never had any WMD, Bush just single-handedly made it all up, see? All those UN resolutions relating to Iraq's WMD programs were signed onto by what would later become the biggest detractors to the war and the strongest allies of Sadam, such as France, Germany and Russia. Indicating that even France, Germany and Russian must have believed that Iraq had WMD programs in progress. Today, they can deny it all they want to, but the history is still there. Now, the UN and all the approving nations whose signatures are on the resolutions must have believed that Iraq had nuclear, chemical and biological WMD programs, or, why and how would all those resolutions ever have passed, and been communicated to Iraq by the UN? Or are they all just more figments of someone's imagination? We can look at UN resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284, all of which dealt with Iraq's WMD ambitions and ballistic missile and other delivery system programs. And, of course, there was resolution 1441, which supposedly had gums. I mean teeth. It threatened serious consequences, if you will remember. It demanded, rather testily, immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to inspectors to sites of their choosing, and stated that that the UN Security Council shall "remain seized of the matter". Yeah, right. In a January 27, 2003 report to the U.N., chief inspector Hans Blix, while noting Iraqi cooperation with regards to prompt access to inspection sites, stated "...Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance, not even today, of the disarmament which was demanded of it and which it needs to carry out to win the confidence of the world and to live in peace." The reasons for this include a failure to account for quantities of VX nerve agent and anthrax and also the inability of the U.N. to interview Iraqi scientists outside the country. Well, gee whizz and gosharooties, I wonder how UN and IAEA inspectors ever came to the conclusion that Iraq might have ever had any such things as nerve gas and anthrax? I thought Bush single-handedly made it all up. Because, as we all know, the Leftie chant remains: "Bush lied people died" - repeat. Lets look at what some prominent American Lefties said about it before they they all started chanting their Leftie-Whacko Bush Lied, People Died mantra. "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." The Presidents 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." The Presidents Clinton, Feb. 17, 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 "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 The Presidents Clinton, signed by: Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Flipflop/Turncoat 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 "There is no doubt that ... 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 redefine 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." Letter to President Bush, Signed by: Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec 5, 2001 "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 the 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." Cap'n Planet Algore, 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." Cap'n Planet Algore, Sept. 23, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Teddy (hic) 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 "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 Flipflop/Turncoat Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 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 "[W]ithout 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 Flipflop/Turncoat Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 But . . . but . . . but . . . , I though Bush single-handedly made it all up, out of nothing, and that nobody anywhere ever agreed with any of it. I'm so confused. And still, the Leftie chant remains:

Look, what can I say other than you have to be one of the most ignorant people with regards to the Iraq War. I am astounded that you assert that Saddam had links to Al Quada when a CIA report, given to the president, showed Saddam never talked to Al-Quada and warranted an international policy of diplomacy that ignored such extremist groups. You continually quote Americans who clearly are lying, who assert that he had WMDs. If had read or watched or have spoken to any UN workers or read any of their reports you would know that the UN weapons inspectors went in with the highest most detailed information that could found internationally and from the Iraqi government that explained where weapons facilities could have been, where they were and what they did. Yes Saddam committed acts of State Terrorism but why didn't anyone stop him before, because the US government didn't care it was more beneficial to have Saddam as a buffer against Iran and other haters of America. I dare you I actually dare to write out what UN resolutions he broke and how. Attempt to assassinate George Bush I??? Give me a break. You do realize that the US funded his regime and its actions. Even the Catholic Church declared the Invasion of Iraq in 2003 to be unacceptable in terms of necessity and reason. Every person where they are American or Australia or whatever, should be ashamed to even acknowledge the fact that this war took place. Even if you now agree with me, or even if you still don't, because its not some left wing propaganda its just, as you put it, the truth of history and you need to do some serious real research to recognize that instead of watching fox or some other narrow minded pro-war material. Even Wikipedia would be a good start. Date: Thu Dec 10 22:14:20 2009
Matt, Matt, Matt. Not being American, not knowing American politics or American political big-shots, not knowing the hot political issues being discussed, you’ve missed the whole point of the article. All of the American politicos who were quoted testifying to Sadam’s WMDs and his association with Al Queda were the exact same people who would later deny the existence of Sadam’s WMDs and his association with Al Queda. Including even an American President. They all call themselves Liberals or “Moderates” or “Progressives” but I call them what they are – Marxists. As soon as they got out of power their story changed and they began to lie. They who chanted “Bush Lied, People Died” originated the policy of regime change in Iraq, because of WMD and Al Queda. Not paying attention to American politics, you wouldn’t know that. But then, with the Lefties out of power and Bush in power, 9/11/2001 happened, and the regime change policy previously established by Clinton was in place. As I’ve said before, you show me a Marxist and I’ll show you an ends justify the means liar, which I now refer to as MEJTML. Here are your “I dare you” URLs to some of the violated UN resolutions, for whatever any UN resolutions are ever worth. Write them out for yourself. http://www.worldpress.org/specials/iraq/unscr660.htm If you ever get the chance to visit America, where you can actually get to see a real doctor and receive real treatment in a timely manner, I strongly recommend pre-scheduling a rectal-craniotomy, to have your head surgically removed from your ass. It might do you a world of good. Regards, Vic
