I just gave you examples of some of the things that have been said.
I am not blaming congress, I am simply pointing out the fact that he had the approval of the American people to invade Iraq. Confgressmen supposedly represent the people btw, just to clear that one up....
So impeaching him will not work because he can say, the WMDs are there, we just havent found them and no one can prove him wrong.
Considering that he told Congress they knew what there was and where it was, I'd say there was some lyinh going on. Considering that everything that has been 'found' so far has turned out to NOT be WMD, I'd say there was some deception going on.
But, people like you show Bush that he can lie and deceive and nothing will ever happen.
So much for accountability.
He hasnt decieved me, I already stated a couple of times, that he went in for the wrong reasons.
Of course there was lying, but it cant be proven, that is my point. Without proof, it's just gonna be:
Congressman: president Bush, why did u lie to us? Why are there no WMD?
Bush: He moved them, they're in hiding
What can be said to prove Bush wrong?
Bush can prove Bush wrong. His statements are unequivocal. He lied to congress and the American people to start a war. Period.
"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."
