Indeed...words do have meanings
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,)
Not we suspect, not we think, not we imagine, but THERE IS NO DOUBT
reinvigorating weapons programs is not synonymous with stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. sorry.
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region.
Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.
Who is this 'we' ? Is this all Democrats? All Senators ? Maybe its ALL AMERICANS
"belief" is not synonymous with absolute certainty. sorry.
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
I'll be damned..its another Democrat that KNOWS, and its WE AGAIN....does this mean EVERYBODY KNOWS ?
Gore was wrong, just like Bush was wrong...and if Gore had won the election in 2000 and had invaded Iraq on the same shoddy evidence as Bush did, I would have vehemently opposed THAT as well. next.
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is useing and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.
And again...its another Democrat that says we KNOW...we KNOW NOW and HAVE KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS
still no statement of absolute certainty regarding stockpiles of WMD's. sorry.
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."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.
Then we have this Democrat that is CONFIDENT (look it up)
being confident, Sen. Byrd didn't say "somewhat confident" or "fairly confident" did he? He must be "damn sure" if hes 'confident'.....it means the same thing
"confidence" is not synonymous with absolute certainty. sorry.
"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 .
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,
And then its "UNMISTAKABLE EVIDENCE from this Democrat..."unmistakable...meaning THERE IS NO MISTAKE...sounds like there is "no doubt" if he can claim "there is no mistake"
working to develop is not synonymous with having large stockpiles of WMD's. sorry.
Yes, words do have meaning...
