For two State of the Union Addresses in a row, Bush has made false and
misleading statements about the supposed threat Iraq posed to America
with
its supposed WMDs and supposed links to Al Queda. Absolutely
shameful.
David Kay resigns and rebuffs Bush's recent State of the Union
Address:

And yet the Iraqi Foreign Minister says they did.

I notice the BBC got chastised for their claims that there was any
"sexing
up" of Tony Blair's claims of WMD's in Iraq and the House of Commons is
considering privatising the Beeb.

Not one single government outside of Iraq ever said anything other than
Iraq
HAD WMD's.

I'm amazed that you are still taking this line. What is it that
convinces you they had them?

They were never fully accounted for after the first Gulf War.

I don't know if they had any left or not. I do know that the Intel from
every country in the world indicated that they did. In the UK they have
taken judical notice that the reports were not "sexed up," and heads are
rolling at the BBC.

There are a few choices one can RATIONALLY believe on this issue.

1. Saddam had them and hid them.

2. They used to have them and were trying to get them again.

3. Saddam wanted them again but was being fleeced by his own people.

It is not rational to believe that Bush made up the reports about Iraq's
weapons.

It doesn't matter since President Bush was given the authority by Congress
to do anything he felt necessary to fight the war on terror. No matter how
mcuh spin the idiots on the left try to apply, that fact is not going away.

It was politics that got that vote, since nobody wanted to appear soft on
defense. The Democrats have a long history of being on the wrong side of
every Defense issue brought before them and it is going to kill their
efforts to beat Bush.
