Quote: Bush defends Iraq invasion in face of new weapons report
Quote: WASHINGTON (AP) Faced with a harshly critical new report, President Bush conceded Thursday that Iraq did not have the stockpiles of banned weapons he had warned of before the invasion last year, but insisted that "we were right to take action" against Saddam Hussein.
I repeat...douchebagsezwhat?
It is all right in front of our faces people!

| No kidding. The only real obstacle to Bush's reelection isn't the Kerry campaign- it's the news. |

Isn't the quote by Dick Cheney amazing?
"Vice President Dick Cheney asserted in Miami Thursday that the report justifies rather than invalidates Bush's decision to go to war. It shows that "delay, defer, wasn't an option," Cheney told a town-hall style meeting."
I think so. |

1. Who here believes Saddam Hussein was not a threat?
2. Who here believes Saddam Hussein hadn't acquired, used and had programs in place to manufacture and store WMDs for use against his neighbors?
3. Who here believes Saddam Hussein wasn't sponsoring terrorism against America and our allies?
Do you need proof? Answer these:
1. What happened to the Kurds? (Hussein gassed them with WMDs.) 2. What happened to thousands of Iranian civilians during the Iran/Iraq war? (see above answer.) 3. Who started the Iran/Iraq war? (Saddam Hussein.) 4. Why was it imperative as part of the cease fire agreement to establish and enforce no-fly zones? (See answer to question one.) 5. What was he doing in Kuwait? (Invading, killing them.) 6. Who was launching scud missiles at Israel? (Saddam Hussein was.) 7. Who was paying the families of suicide bombers $25,000? (Saddam Hussein was.) 8. How did all those bodies get in mass graves? (Saddam Hussein putting down rebellions. But, that is our fault. We should have never left him in place.)
Answer those questions, and there can be no doubt, Saddam was a threat and had and used WMDs and sponsored terrorism. Since we're all intelligent people here, presumably, it's only logical to assume his aggressive and psychosociopathic behavior and use of WMDs would continue to escalate exponentially had he been left in place.
Given the history of Hussein's behavior, do you believe this? I certainly do.
Now that he's gone, if you're intellectually honest, you know as well as I do, the world is far safer without Saddam Hussein or his rotten spawn in power.
Your douchebagsezwhat remark is insulting. President Bush is a dedicated leader who will do what hes set out to do: Defend America, and all of you notwithstanding your remarks about him. He deserves respect.
Now I'm ruling for the hatchling! |

Sorry...President Bush is a moron and many other things I will not say. He deserves to be smacked on the bum and sent home for being a bad boy.
Answer these:
Who helped Saddam gain power? Who Trained the Taliban to fight Russia? Who put weapons in our enemies hands? Was Saddam more of a threat than countries that ACTUALLY have WMD? Who could'nt find oil in Texas?
It is not Bush of course...but lets jsut say we usually do not help our own causes.

Well said MP, I am really amazed by Macbroo... I can understand his exagerated patriotism... but he is really full of the Bush propaganda...
Macbroo... you really seem to honestly believe in those militarist fantasies. Do you really think that Saddam was a tread to the USA? Do you think that the issue in Irak was about terrorism?
No Macbroo... you have to unplugh yourself from the republican Matrix... Do you really want to know what is the Matrix? Soon you will have to choose between the red or the blue pill.
The issue in Irak was about power and about oil. I agree with you that Saddam was not a good person. But do you really agree to pay so much taxes to send bombs in foreign countries. Have you already solved the problems in your own country? The greatest tread to peace on earth is Bush himself. He is making many people angry. Watch them comming in the next decades...

Some of those are fair questions. Saddam gained power in the Ba'ath party on his own. HOWEVER, in all fairness, the Ba'ath party's ideologies are far more attractive and friendly to the western world than the religious fundamentalist theocracies of the world. If not for his outlaw/rogue nature, i.e. brutality, murder, aggression, sponsorer of terrorism and acquisition of WMDs, he would still be in our best interest over there. (If you want to discuss this more, we can.)
Answer to number one is, Saddam rose to power on his own through his own ruthless methods.
Answer to question number two, we helped the mujahideen forces resist the Soviets. I won't tell you that we and countless others haven't been bloodied over that.
The Soviets actually did pretty well over there until we gave the resistance the stinger missiles. We clearly supported Afghanistan prior to Soviet occupation. What came of it was a vicious fundamentalist theocratic terrorist sponsoring regime. Of course, we prefer the Ba'athist party over these any day.
Question three, same answer as above.
Question four, is a disingenuous question. Saddam did have WMDs, was acquiring them, had programs in place to manufacture them, and sponsored terrorism. Given the facts, that question is illegitimate.
Question five is also illegitimate.
Hey, Doc, I lived in Dusseldorf for two years way back when. You guys didn't like us any better back then either, and that was before George W. Bush. Hmmmmm.
