There is no evidence that Iraq was involved in 9/11. But if you ask Bush he'll tell you "his" intelligence told him they were. When he started this war he declared it was against terrorism and all the WMDs. After we found nothing, it became a mission to free the Iraq people?

Guess we should expose Kerry for the liar he is too then because he made a strong case against Iraq and their WMDs.

It was my understanding that he made his decision based on the intelligence that Hussein had WMDs, intelligence provided by the Bush administration. Am I wrong?

When was the last time anyone in this admin implied that it was, or that it was possible?

On multiple occasions. For instance the Dub's 2003 SOTU address and Powell's address to the UN prior to our invasion of Iraq.

Doesn't matter for what?

If Iraq was connected, all the better. If Iraq wasn't, we didn't go in there on that premise.

What was our premise?
Alleged ties to Al Qaeda, an Advanced Nuclear Weapons Program and vast quantities of WMDs. I think the Dub confused Libya with Iraq!

Are you going to selectively quote the premise, or quote the entire premise?

Shouldn't that read are you going to quote the premise before we invaded or after we invaded?

Besides the shrill pitched whine of "Wag the Dog" given by the Clinton Haters there wasn't because no American lives were lost and it was relatively inexpensive.

The premise hasn't changed. It was a multi-part premise. Some parts have proved very true, some have not.

How about some quotes? I just browsed through both and didn't see what you're talking about.

Everybody in America believed Bush's "intelligence" and supported the act of war. But now its clear it was a lie. Plain and simple. The man lied.

Oh.

So because Clinton did a half arsed job and didn't finish what needed to be done it was okay then.

Makes sense.

If it weren't for 9/11 the Neocons would never have been able to get their predetermined plan of invading Iraq approved by the American Public.
