Any particular reason you are apparently the only person in the country to have this info?




Better brand of tin-foil!

Guess you werent paying attention
That is factually incorrect. I have done the research.

Find a primary source and quote the link here for us all to read. Read through Bush's own speeches.

What are you talking about?

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the neocon cabal surrounding them made numerous inferences to 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. However, what they made explicitly clear was that Saddam Hussein was also in possession of nuclear weapons and posed an imminent threat.

This turned out to be patently false and deliberately misleading, which is an impeachable offense on its own. Finding proof that these liars didnt believe their own BS is not crystal clear and therefore the only thing (including lack of Democratic spine) in keeping them from facing criminal charges.

However, if said proof does arise, and if an insider with a conscience is willing to testify, perhaps that will change in the future.

Hell yeah it was. Stupidest move since Vietnam.
Bush had to finish daddy's war with Saddam.

The dude who blew up our buildings never was in Iraq.

What a waste of money and time that was. I don't want to bring freedom to the world, I just want to feed our homeless children HERE in America.

PRIORITIES!

Looks like someone needed to pay for college somehow and leveraged their soul to the military. The only people who join up are poor folks and fanatics. I have 2 in my family. So what??

Quote your primary source, for PROOF, not just talk. NOT just a bunch of people talking but a real source.

Just because Bush and Cheney made inferences, that means nothing, I call it lying, you call it inferences. There was never and is not now any EVIDENCE that Iraq had WMD or any connection with the 911 bombings.

If you believe otherwise, show me your source. Primary source, not talk by people who want to justify what they have done but PROOF. Bush himself even made a speech where he admitted what I am saying.

With all the problems we have here...who cares if Iraq is free? And with all the violence still going on there, who exactly is free?

Hussein was executed, yet Bin Laden is still out there. That doesn't make US free!

Yea, I always thought that was interesting, the man actually behind 911, a 6'4 Saudi dragging a dialysis machine in a region with spotty electricity can't be found.
