""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...
Senator Hillary Clinton (Democrat, New York)
Addressing the US Senate
October 10, 2002" #195
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt, that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
U.S. President Bush (the younger) televised address to the U.S. March 17th, 2003
SPECTACULAR !!
a) Whatever Hillary said, right or left, came from SOMEwhere.
b) U.S. presidents have higher security clearance than Senator Clinton.
c) As the 2nd quotation in this post indicates, we were ALL lied to by U.S. President Bush (younger) [R-"TX"].
D) AND THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: no evidence has ever been found to support that claim, regardless of how many U.S. government officials lied or repeated untruths about it.
e) When the JFK administration handled the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK declassified and made public actual U2 aerial photographs of Soviet missiles on Cuban soil.
BUT !!
When Secretary Powell made his casus belli presentation at the U.N. General Assembly, to the U.N., and to the entire world beyond, his visual aids were computer generated drawings from United States government.
It was a sham from the beginning, a Bush family vendetta, the younger President Bush trying to settle a Bush family score against Saddam for Saddam's failed assassination against then former President Bush (elder).
Was it worth it George? Your father is still alive. Yet over 4,000 U.S. military troops YOU ordered to their deaths are not. Was it worth it?
“Absolutely we’re winning.” Bush / Oct. 25 2006
note:
Our troops are still there.
