Post-War Revisionism
This week President Bush attacked "post-war revisionism" during a speech to Veterans:
Bush is having a tough ride at the moment, and it is about time he started to fight back against the falsehoods and outright lies spued by the idiot left about this war.
Just as way of example of the utter hypocrisy, I dig up some quotes on Saddam Hussein and Iraq. I wonder if you can guess the American Politicans who said them?
1): "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons-of-mass-destruction program."
2):"Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
3): "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical- and biological-weapons stock, his missile-delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al-Qaeda members."
4): "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force—if necessary—to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Bush? Cheney? Rumsfeld? Lets see if you were right:
1): Disgraced Former President Bill "Oral sex is not sex" Clinton, 1998
2): Clinton's Secretary of State Madeline Albright, 1998
3): Senator Hillary Clinton, 2002
4): Failed presidential candidate, Senator John "Global Test" Kerry, 2002
Seems like Bush wasn't the only one convinced!
"Some Democrats and anti-war critics are now claiming we manipulated the intelligence and misled the American people about why we went to war," he said.
"The stakes in the global war on terror are too high and the national interest is too important for politicians to throw out false charges."
