Quote:Where's the lie?
Where is the lie? The lie is he did not have WMDs. He had them when we gave them to him to use against Iran. Which he did. But produce them himself? Nope. Just total fabrication from the Bush propaganda machine and their lackeys at FOX.

Quote:The former US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, admits in his memoirs that he made a mistake in claiming that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction sites round Baghdad and Tikrit, one of the main justifications for launching the Iraq invasion.
Oops. Shit happens.

Quote:Colin Powell presented the case against Iraq to the UN Security Council five years ago today, on February 5, 2003.
As much criticism as Powell has received for this—he calls it "painful" and something that will "always be a part of my record"—it hasn't been close to what's justified. Powell was far more than just horribly mistaken: the evidence is conclusive that he fabricated evidence and ignored repeated warnings that what he was saying was false.
Oops. More shit happens.

Quote:But Mr Bush admits that he was shocked when no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.
"No one was more shocked and angry than I was when we didn't find the weapons," he writes.
"I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do."
Oops. Looks like shit keeps happening to shitheads.
Before you sprain a shoulder waving the flag you might consider this news article...from today.

Quote:The Marines who arrived in Sangin district of Helmand province in October have seen the kind of tragedy and combat stress that few can imagine - more than 30 deaths and 175 wounded, with scores losing arms and legs when they stepped on bombs.
The 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment and smaller Marine units attached to it are fighting to regain this key insurgent stronghold in one of the country's bloodiest regions.
At least 288 NATO service members were killed in Helmand province in 2010. Last year was the deadliest of the nine-year Afghan war for the international forces, with 701 killed.
Many of the Marines in Sangin say they are coping by blocking out the horrors they have seen. Psychiatrists say that behavior is normal during combat, but it could trigger post-traumatic stress disorder when the Marines go home next month.
It's real easy to stick a little magnet on your car and walk around with "Support Our Troops" on your lips but these poor bastards are getting their balls blown off for what? So that one group of criminal drug dealers is "in" and another is "out." We cannot put a company of marines in every 3'd world shithole. They have far more shitholes than we have marines.[/quote]
