"There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq"

[Latifa]

After many months of 'searching' for 'weapons' the CIA has concluded that their are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Gosh. They lied. Liars. Whats your justification for invasion now, GW?

[pandora]

This would almost be funny if there weren't 120,000 dead and countless wounded.

The sheer destructive waste, we knew there weren't any. But when you really think about what they did attacking an innocent country that hadn't defied conventions in 10 years and killing all those people, still killing them. It's inexcuseable. I really wonder how the rest of the world views us it's like attacking someone in a bar because you're loaded and you think they have a knife to find out they don't, the rest of the bar would throw you out. Well now we're officially a rogue nation.

[RedAnarchist]

"Er...well.y'all see....in our attempts to discoverify the weapons in Eye-Rak, we realised that we...uhh.. forgot to send them some this year..heh!"

Seriously though, i doubt even Bush truly belived that WMDs were in Iraqi hands.

Regarding the whole 45 minute claim, how quickly could America prepare a similar weapon? Surely they could do this in a much shorter time?

Whats your justification for invasion now, GW?
To secure oil and maintain capitalism.

[Kobbot 401]

America will never come out and say it was for oil. I believe I have heard them say it was to take out a terriable leader, to spreaded democracy.

There is a tie bettween Iraq and the Revolutionary War, both contries had crule leaders in most peoples views, america revolted aginst theirs winning their independance. With Iraq, America ran in and won their independace for them, the people did not act on their own to break away from Sadam. Their people will not have the connection that America has to their independance. If the people did not want the change enough to do something about it, then what is the reason that they will keep it when america leaves?

[USAcommunist]

Yes, Bush lied about everything just to get america to invade Iraq, if you want to read a good book about why America never should have invaded, read the book by Tom Clancy called BATTLEREADY, it's a autobiography on the life of GENERAL ANTHONY ZINNI, UNITED STATES MARINE CORP. He gave some of the best reasons for not invading Iraq and told the Bush administration that they were making a big mistake if they invaded. This man is a republican but you cannot hold that against him concerning the Iraq invasion because he was exactly correct and predicted everything that is happening now, infact, I was surprized to learn that his reasons for not invadeing were the same as mine.

[existential1]

The question to me seems to be not why did we invade Iraq, that is self evident. The real question that should now be posed is When did Bush the fuhrer decide to go to war with Iraq? Was it his first day in office? No, probably farther back. How about 1998, when the members of Project For A New American Century begged Clinton to provoke Iraq into action, so that they could build their huge oil pipeline through the middle east? Maybe, it was back in 1991 during the first Gulf War, when Dick Cheney told George the first that too many soldiers would be killed if they tried to capture Bahgdad, so maybe we should just leave for now. The sad, yet brutally ironic twist to this whole situation, is that the people out there in the middle of combat are dying to make the same rich assholes even richer. Rich from the Ammunition and Arms the war requires, rich from the oil we have procured through this arrangement, rich from the food they give (or don't give) the soldiers, rich from the health care and surgery instruments necessary to tend to the wounded, rich from vehichles necessary to transport these people, rich from the prisons used to torture the innocent. If these people who claim to be "christians" have proven anything, it is that their money is very surely the metaphorical Devil of whom they prophesize. And the only way to stop this war or any other is to destroy that devil, that monkey on the back of each and every capitalist. Because, money can always buy weapons, money can buy more greed and money can always buy death.

[In Search of True Thinkers]

when I heard this news announcment on CNN I nearly laughed. Do we really need the Bush administration to publicly declare that there were no such weapons in Iraq after nearly two years of US occupation? What a joke! It was quite evident that WMD would not be found in the region PRIOR to our tragic misadventure in Iraq and anyone who was startled by this "revelation" of no WMD should not be allowed to procreate.

[demonedge]

wow... you don't say. I'm tottaly surprised, tottally. I mean they blew the shit out of their capabilites when the first gulf war happened, and U.N sanctions have kept him in check (partially anyways). So i guess Bush's reason is gonna be "well ummmm.... crap... i mean oops" The sad, and anger inducing thing is if they had said this a few months earlier, Kerry would have won, and we would have had the out of office.

[bolshevik butcher]

Notice it took them until the tsunami and the new palistinean leader (I can't spell his name) were all over the news to release this.

[USAcommunist]

Did you also notice that no one got in trouble for all the false information that was fed to the American people and the World??

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

" Oopsy! " Tee hee hee.

Now I really wonder how 50 million people can be so stupid.

1. Many americans still don't know the truth. They stopped wondering once the first round of misinformation was given to them.
2. Who is going to hold the US accountable? The world court? :lol:

Interpol? Martians? Beats me.

[Ele'ill]

once they heard the first version of the iraq story they tuned out. That's all they needed to hear. unless that 'Que?' was sarcasm ; P

[B_T_N_H]

Justification for invading Iraq,............what?

Just an Adventurist streak of a Texan Cowboy.

[Commie-K]

The day Bush admitted Iraq had no WMD's was a great day. The most convincing defense of why we are in Iraq has been torn down. Hopefully people will realize that we are NOT liberating them, they were NOT connected to 9/11, and did NOT have WMD's; they are guilty of nothing. And if we're all of a sudden going to help 'liberate' those who 'are under evil leaders,' why Iraq instead of some other country whose leader we don't like? If this country's citizens can't figure this out, which it is pretty evidently clear they can't, we are in for much deeper trouble in the future. Unfortunately, Bush was just given four more years, so now this will be allowed to happen.

[dso79]

Most Americans now realize that the Iraq war was a mistake, but they believe the troops should stay anyway, in order to 'finish the job'. It's not really clear what 'job' they're talking about, though. (Defeating al-Qaeda? Establishing democracy?)

[dreams are free mofo]

I think some people will always feel this war is justified simply because a loved one was injured or killed during it. They may feel that to think this war was unnecessary would be the same as saying the soldiers got injured/killed for nothing.

[RevolutionarySocialist MadRedDog]

Well off course Saddam Hussein had (bio)chemical and atomic weapons in the past: the US government (the Dutch government from that timeperiod as well by the way) allowed companies to sell WMD to Iraq for the war against Iran.

So Bush propably thought: "Maybe Saddam has left some of those weapons that my daddy gave him!"

But surprise...surprise they were all gone.. :D

To be quiet honest...from the start it was clear this was an illegal war....there was no direct proof from a link between Al Quada and Saddam, there were no WMD in Iraq (was known way before Bush started the war) and last but definitely not least there was no precise UN-mandate for military action against Iraq (this was necessary since Bush's argument of self-defense was bull-shit, as stated earlier because there was no proof of the attack coming from Saddam).

Most americans think sadam was in league with al quieda, it's frightening how powerful the media is.

[USAcommunist]

As an AMERICAN I wish I could charge BUSH WITH TREASON, he lied to the american people and sent GI's to die for an illegal act under american law, but, you would never get a court in America to take that case, it would be thrown out of court because america does not have a fair system of justice, American courts are "KANGAROO COURTS", just as the "PEOPLES COURT" was under Nazi Germany.

[h&s]

Even if you could try him for treason it would be pointless. To bring a court case like that would require a lot of time and money, which would be wasted. What would be the point in getting rid of one president to replace him with one with identicle, maybe worse, views?

Well..........the deal is done. No justifications matter now. They won't bring the ststus quo as it was before the invasion.
