This is 2016 and we are facing the chaos and tragedies created by Lame Duck President Obama.
There were no lies, that is what was the general consensus at the time including Democrats and Republicans along the United Nations and most other countries.
There were 935 documented lies by members of the Bush administration, including Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and Powell."...general consensus..." Uh-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
You should be able to explain these quotes easily then... many of which were made years before bush2 took office.
Right? Or do you just simply prefer to believe your precious leftist propaganda?
" [L]et's imagine the future. What if he fails to comply and we fail to act,or we take some ambiguous third route,which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made? Well,he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day,some way,I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal. And I think every one of you who has really worked on this for any length of time, believes that,too." President Bill Clinton - Remarks at the Pentagon, February 17,1998
"In the next century,the community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now - a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction,ready to use them or provide them to terrorists,drug traffickers,or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed. If we fail to respond today,Saddam,and all those who would follow in his footsteps,will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity,even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council,and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program." President Bill Clinton - Remarks at the Pentagon ,February 17,1998.
"Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam,there is one big difference: He has used them,not once,but repeatedly. Unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war. Not only against soldiers,but against civilians, firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel,Saudi Arabia,Bahrain and Iran. And not only against a foreign enemy,but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq. The international community had little doubt then,and I have no doubt today,that left unchecked,Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again." President Bill Clinton - Remarks at the White House ,December 16, 1998.
"In the four years since the inspectors,intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock,his missile delivery capability,and his nuclear program. … It is clear,however,that if left unchecked,Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. If we were to attack Iraq now, alone or with few allies,it would set a precedent that could come back to haunt us. In recent days,Russia has talked of an invasion of Georgia to attack Chechen rebels. India has mentioned the possibility of a pre-emptive strike on Pakistan. And what if China were to perceive a threat from Taiwan? So Mr. President,for all its appeal,a unilateral attack,while it cannot be ruled out,on the present facts is not a good option." Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) - Congressional Record,October 10, 2002. "
"There is no question that Iraq possesses biological and chemical weapons and that he seeks to acquire additional weapons of mass destruction,including nuclear weapons. That is not in debate. I also agree with President Bush that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must be disarmed,to quote President Bush directly." Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) - Congressional Record ,October 8, 2002.
"Remember,Peter,this is a man who has used poison gas on his own people and on his neighbors repeatedly. He's trying to get ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons,chemical and biological weapons. He could be a mass murderer of the first order of magnitude. We are not going to allow that to happen." Vice President Al Gore - ABC News’ "Special Report,” December 16, 1998.
[I]f you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles,chemical weapons,biological weapons,how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? He's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons; he poison gassed his own people. He used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. This man has no compunctions about killing lots and lots of people." Vice President Al Gore - Larry King Live,December 16,1998.
"We know that [Saddam] has stored away secret supplies of biological weapons and chemical weapons throughout his Country. We have no evidence,however,that he has shared any of those weapons with terrorist groups. Moreover,if we quickly succeed in a war against the weakened and depleted fourth rate military of Iraq and then quickly abandon that nation as President Bush has abandoned Afghanistan after quickly defeating a fifth rate military there,the resulting chaos could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than we presently face from Saddam." Vice President Al Gore,Remarks to the Commonwealth Club of California,San Francisco,California,September 23,2002.
" We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction. But information from the intelligence community over the past sixmonths does not point to Iraq as an imminent threat to the United States or a major proliferator of weapons of mass destruction." -Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.),Remarks at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies,October 27,2002.
" According to the CIA's report,all U.S. intelligence experts agree that Iraq is seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that Saddam Hussein wants to develop nuclear weapons." Senator John Kerry - Congressional Record,October 9,2002.
