I agree that videos are too easy to take out of context if they're just snippets, but most people won't watch 20 minutes of youtube on a message board. Bush said in several speeches that Iraq was hiding terrorists.

[URL="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22794451/"]Study: False statements preceded war - Conflict in Iraq- msnbc.com[/URL]

"Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida."

Here's a list of 10 of the worst lies told by Bush about Iraq. (no, this isn't a Letterman joke)

The entire international intelligence community AND the U.S. Senate and House intelligence committee made the same claim. Were all of them "lying," too? Of course not.

Ten Appalling Lies We Were Told About Iraq | | AlterNet

Okay Nancy. I get it. A. Were they lies, or did he have bad 4-1-1? If you're against him, it's a lie. If you're for him, it's bad information. B. We're talking about 9/11. We're not talking about all the other stuff. I KNOW you said something about making you wonder. But C. (and here's the kicker)...is he a genius or a boob (referring to 9/11)? In one sense, you (and many others) are saying he's a complete retard. Then...the same people are apparently claiming he's the smartest man alive, because he's responsible for a conspiracy that no one but the smartest human on the face of the Earth could pull off (if he actually had something to do with this). D. Everyone talks about proof when it works for them. I see people say stuff like "citations", etc. when a claim is made. Okay..."Citations" that he had anything to do with 9/11? I'm waiting, and I'm not waiting for any conspiracy theorists versions of citations.

Ten Appalling Lies We Were Told About Iraq | | AlterNet
Bush said Iraq was hiding terrorists because Iraq WAS hiding terrorists. Salman Pac, a terrorists training camp was located southeast of Baghdad.

Abdul Rahmman Yasin, the man who mixed the chemicals for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was on the payroll of the Iraqi government and was receiving safe haven there until the American invasion. He was living in an apartment there and was receiving a monthly salary.

Zarqawi ran terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. He was injured and fled to Iraq where he was treated in a hospital in Baghdad (no terrorists in Iraq, are you sure?). The worked with Ansar Al Islam which was funded by the Batthists and he coordinated the assassination of an American diplomat for USAID in 2002 in Jordan.


I fail to see why some people refuse to accept the fact that there were terrorists in Iraq? Why they try to defend the former Saddam Hussein regime and take that side?

Here is more info you are sadly in need of reading:
In 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it "did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments."

The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found "no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's WMD."

Never mind where Bush's intelligence went wrong.
Bush had the top agents, FBI, CIA, and FTA.
Our country was safe under Bush after 9/11.
Are we as safe now, no!!!!!!!!!!!
