I've seen Bush supporters on this board argue that "It's not Bush's fault. Everybody thought he had these weapons." Well, in 2001 our Secrety Of State did not believe this. Nor our National Security Advisor.
Were they lying before? and then suddenly started telling the 'truth' after 9/11? .. only to later be proved wrong... that their original 'lie' was actually true.. is that what you want to believe?

I've said it many times, it goes both ways. Here is a dose of your own medicine, call your local news agencies:
"In fact, during President Clinton's eight years in office, there were at least two official pronouncements of an alarming alliance between Baghdad and al Qaeda. One came from William S. Cohen, Mr. Clinton's defense secretary. He cited an al Qaeda-Baghdad link to justify the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan."
"The 1998 indictment said: "Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezbollah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States. In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the government of Iraq." "
"Shortly after the embassy bombings, Mr. Clinton ordered air strikes on al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and on the Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan. "

That's just one reason, but let's get to the subject at hand:
"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. "
"Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons. "

How come you have forgotten this came out, conveniently around the impeachment proceedings. And yes, those are CLINTON's words. I guess Saddam just buried it all in the sand to never be found....
To put it in your words: "Democrats were telling lies until Republicans took action on it, then started telling the 'truth' ?"
