Sorry danny, I am claiming nothing.
The people on the ground are making that claim, no, actually they made that a statement, not a claim.
bush sent a major faction of our military might in the form of our young men and women over there to find it.
Many, many have died, thousands upon thousands more of them have been crippled for life, but none of them found weapons of mass destruction.
Professional teams of civilian and military investigators have been sent over and all came away with the same results, nada on weapons of mass destruction, the same conclusions, NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, NO EVIDENCE THAT THERE EVER WAS ANY REGARDING ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
Live with it.
The intel community made the best guesses they could, a lot of it biased by pressure of a president intent on invasion.
But they were guesses, not facts and the administration constantly presented them as facts.
Many democratic politicians supported the invasion on these "facts" presented to them.
I supported the invasion on these "facts".
We trusted this president and he lied to us.
I know you and the rest of the bush can do no wrong band club will try to confuse this with crap about how the information supplied by the intel community was wrong, etc. but at the level of the president it was all presented as their best estimates.
It was the president and his administration that presented all of it as facts and used it to falsely get the American people's support on this Iraq invasion and occupation.
I don't have a problem if you want to blindly defend bush and his administration for pressuring the intel community into finding shadows that didn't exist and spinning that intel solely to allow him to do what he intended to do at any cost, for any reason which was to take his daddy's nemesis out, but don't try to muddy the waters with some weak pathetic mustard gas history fact used and destroyed decades ago as some sort of justification.
How weak.
