Kind of funny how Hans Blix contradicts that 100% and says that Saddam's cooperation in late '02-learly '03 was "unprecedented."

And why aren't you asking why 8,000 pages of the Iraq weapons report were excised? Knowing you, you'd probably reason that the White House ran out of TP.

It's been reported how they gave the Senate some REALLY horrific intel that swayed their votes. So, sorry, they aren't the same. They were lied to just like we were, you can't deny that.
Well, according to you, all evidence whatsoever of WMD in Iraq were false and we are there now solely for oil. Ergo - when Clinton or at least his administration used them to show evidence of WMD and when Kerry called for military action during the Clinton Administration based on this false info., which lead to the killing of Iraqi's in the no fly zones and other places, that is the same thing to me as W using it to go to war. Is it the scale of W's misuse that bothers you so much? Again, there is no question W lied. I am just saying that apparently Kerry and Clinton lied too. That makes them equally as huilty in my book. But, apparently not in you book. And that is okay - it is your book (what is up with all my book metaphors today LOL)

SH was called on to cooperate 100% with the inspectors. He did not. That was another material breach on top of many. Granted his cooperation was improving, but why should anyone have believed that would continue. AND - he was still playing and mouse with us with his - you can search this palace, but not this one and please call ahead of time before you come!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some more:

Foul.

Hans Blix, and I quote:

"All inspections were performed without notice, and access was almost always provided promptly. In no case have we seen convincing evidence that the Iraqi side knew in advance that the inspectors were coming."

Next.

Um, all of it was false. Have we found anything? Did we ever find anything, even before the war? No and, uh, no. So obviously the intel and supposed "evidence" (of which there was none) was false. ChimpCo knew it, yet they went forward with the war. I suspect they went forth anyways so that even if they found nothing, they could blame it on bad intelligence. But, and this is common sense, how could all of the WMD evidence be false? Gimme a f*cking break. I was born at night, but it most definitely wasn't last night. Now, if they lied about their case and really had none for war, why did we go? Is it that big of a stretch to conclude that it was for not only egotistical reasons in the wake of 9/11, but also for economic and fuel reasons? Do you believe that they lied and exaggerated their case simply to free the "brown people?"

I hope no one takes out your book from the library, it's quite the piece of bad fiction.

written mostly by Clinton and Kerry In fact, they should be thanked in the credits for giving W the means and opportunity Again, I can admit that - why can't you? Moreover, I have always said that since the Niger stuff came out, W should be impeached. So, you are confusing the issues. My SOLE issue is Kerry and Clinton were gung ho for this war and made it easy for W to go to war by laying the foundation for it during the 8 year Clinton Presidency. But, yoy continue to assert the entire war was W's doing and exonerate all D's from the process as if they are above it

Because they were under very different circumstances. Clinton never invaded the country (Kerry had a hand in it, that's a given), Shrub did. Clinton never lied to the American people by saying that Iraq was responsible for 9/11, Shrub did. Clinton never lied and said Saddam could dispatch chemical weapons in 45 minutes, Shrub did. Clinton allowed inspections to work, Shrub didn't.

Please site one quote from W saying Iraq was resp. for 9/11.

Clinton bombed Iraq based on the evidence of WMD you just said was patently false. how is that different. I mean killing people based on knowingly false info. is just wrong period - right So, Clinton is just as guilty as W.

Yea, but I'll charge you $500 per hour to admit I am wrong and it three more hours at $500 an hour to determine the prior five hours of work at $500 per hour was wrong
