No it isn't. Saddam had chemical, biological and a nuclear program. He ordered the use of those chemical weapons on people. He was effectively on probation for using those weapons and invading his neighbors. Try to use some semblance of the facts please.
Key work here would be
had.
Where are the these chemical and biological weapons? How did nuclear weapons become a "nuclear program."
And what about Cheney's company turning huge profits on Army contracts based on these now obviously false Bush claims?
We
HAVE been over this "tense" thing before. Saddam is no longer in Power. Therefore "had" is the correct tense to talk about Saddam's regime and things related to such.
Yes - Where are the Weapons that Saddam HAD and used? I didn't hear anyone before the war saying he didn't possess such weapons, infact intel agencies from AROUND THE WORLD thought he did - not just ours. So yes - where did they go?
1% is still HUGE profits to you huh? I foresee a successful business career for you
Plus there were MANY other reasons to go to war - but again you refuse to acknowledge that fact.
CkG
Intel agencies from around the world thought he did? Why didn't everyone just let the UN inspectors do their job and find out for sure?
As for the 1% profit figure I haven't seen Halliburton come up with ANY figures on their profit(eering) from contracts gained throught their close ties with their former CEO who is now VP in the unnecessary invasion of Iraq. Halliburton declined comment as stated by their spokeswoman above.
Plus we weren't given MANY other reasons to go to war. We were given WMD, nuclear material purchased from Niger, terrorist connections and the imminent threat Iraq posed. None of which were true. So, yes. I do refuse to acknowledge that we invaded Iraq for any reasons other than the lies Bush told.
The inspectors job wasn't to FIND - it was to make sure Iraq was in compliance.
1% comes from the LOGCAP contract.(but yes does have incentives)
Yep - you refuse to acknowledge the reasons - we've been over this time and time again but you still can't see past your hatred of Bush.
Gaard - Yes - thought/concluded/whatever you want to call it - which is what they are supposed to do. THEY collect and piece together the info - that is their job.
CkG
LOGCAP was at one time 9% profit margin which was reduced to 3% if memory serves me correctly.
I don't refuse to acknowledge the reasons. I know the reasons. WMD, nuclear material purchased from Niger, terrorist connections and the imminent threat Iraq posed to our security.
Those are the reasons Bush gave the American people.
All false.
Do you want to rewrite history now and claim Bush said something else?
Nothing to do with hatred. I just want the liar to admit he lied.
"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons."
United Nations Address
September 12, 2002
"Iraq has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons, and is rebuilding the facilities used to make more of those weapons."
"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have."
Radio Address
October 5, 2002
"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons."
"We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
"We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States."
"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his "nuclear mujahideen" - his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons."
Cincinnati, Ohio Speech
October 7, 2002
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."
State of the Union Address

"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
Address to the Nation
March 17, 2003
