Those bastards lied to us to get us into Iraq
 

"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 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 President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John 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."
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 seing and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. 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 F. 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 alway s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (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. "[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 has 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.

NOW THE DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED, THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WMD'S AND HE TOOK US TO WAR FOR HIS OIL BUDDIES??? Right!!!

wo... too much writing for 3.22am :( sorry dude

I thought 12clicks had retired from politics?

:disgust

this isn't about polotics.:winkwink:

I predict that over the final 2 years of the Bush term, gas prices will drop, and get back to normal (which will be still be above what they were before his reign), and be attributed to his "War on Terror", and give some sort of meaning to this Iraq conflict. I have a feeling that the crude pricing is directly linked to Bush's wallet.

ok, but check out my sig though....

yes it is. the illuminati will stop sacrificing babies and turn their attention to lowering the price of oil.:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Mmmm... still more US bullshit and "issues"...

Have a nice day :1orglaugh

should we talk about 3rd world problems to gain your interest?:1orglaugh

100% confidence you'd fuck that up as well :thumbsup

Na.. stay at home and keep screwing up. You know it makes sense :1orglaugh

being an authority on living in the third world, why don't you take the lead?:1orglaugh

Tut tut tut - the usual assumptions from the intelligent - never fails eh?? :1orglaugh

Well at least we know he's from a 3rd world country for sure - he's Canadian!

no no, you're an authority. enlighten us.:1orglaugh

Dear chap - this thread was never about me, nor was it addressed to the diversion you elected of "third world countries".

Please continue to enlighten, educate and amuse on your own predictable "issues" with your own nation.

My contribution to this was, and remains..

"Mmmm... still more US bullshit and "issues"...

Have a nice day :1orglaugh "

you mistake your posts for contributions.

as always.

Oh no... this is a very valid contribution... means exactly what it says, tho you would not understand:

"Mmmm... still more US bullshit and "issues"...

Have a nice day :1orglaugh "

The really "big word" in the quote is "bullshit". Perhaps that's what is causing comprehension problems? The meaning can be found here:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bullshit

still regretting the move to the third world, eh brainiac?:1orglaugh
Listen, we're all very happy for you, no need to jump into every US thread and shout,"look at me"
no one cares.:1orglaugh

no shit !!!

lol..... here we go again

gnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

you know I'm more fun this way.:winkwink:

I love these threads!

I see the new 12clicks is just the old 12clicks with new aftershave? :)

Notice how quickly gas prices have dropped approcaching the midterm elections? I predict a repeat in '08 after an extended period of record highs. I don't credit Bush, his administration or Republicans for any direct (known) actions causing it though... those who set the prices of gas benefit more from Republicans being in office, so look to them for the co-inki-dink timing:2 cents:.

12clicks, you might be able to have a better discussion on this board: http://www.dcjunkies.com
Adult wm's talking about politics :)

Apparently a lot of people on GFY received their educations in public schools.

I knew my Hi Karate would attract you like a gay moth to a flame.

Hmmmm....I read the start of this post. I looked at the author. Then I read it again. And then I looked at the author again. And then I had to go through the whole process a third time.

Why 3 times you ask? Well, simply put, I thought...heh...this in an intelligent post. But that's where the confusion enters in. I also noticed that the author was 12 Clicks. So, you see my dilemma.....intelligent post....12 clicks....intelligent post....12 Clicks. Yep, something wasn't quite right.

But then I realized that his post was a collection of quotes authored by numerous other people, and not his words at all.

Phewwww....first the Gulf War....then 9/11...then the destructive Tsunami...and then the killer hurricanes of 2005, and now this scare. For a minute there I really did believe that the world was truly falling apart.

It took you that long to figure out the line with the name and date meant it was an attribute? Didn't it read kind of strange?

Well atleast democrats are not so war hungry like republicans.AFter all all war in history has been initiaed from republicans.

And sarcasm is lost on yet another GFY faithful.
