Lies from President Bush eh?

Comment added by Unregistered on Thu 7 Oct 2004 - 06:15 h

According to the Deuffler Report, just published (you could watch it on Cspan yesterday 10-6-04) there had been no weapons of mass destruction being devised since 1991. Who was in office then? Not President Bush. Why couldn't Clinton figure it out in the next four yrs of his Presidency? Why did he leave it to President Bush to figure it out?
Next why was it that France, Russia and China would not help us with Iraq? Because they were all involved, including the Democrats precious UN with the Oil for Food program. Not only were key members of the UN council involved in this scandal, but they were also supplying arms to Iraq to fight their so called ally.
If you think that Kerry would be able to build a coalition far better than President Bush, that isn't true either, because since France is listed in this report as making millions from the Oil For Food program, they have already stated they will NOT help us. Russia has other problems, not only were they involved in the Oil for Food program, but they have terrorist problems of their own in their country. They do need the help of a coalition to help them, however how can they ask us, or Poland or the other 33 countries that are supporting the Iraqi War, when they refused to be involved with it.

Was Sadam a threat? It depends on how you look at things, if you think that when he is hiding things, and that our CIA and other allies had intelligence that stated he was, then do you sit back and wait another 12 yrs to find out what he is going to do to us, or do you go in? Here are the weapons that were found in Iraq during our current war:

—A single artillery shell filled with two chemicals that, when mixed while the shell was in flight, would have created sarin. U.S. forces learned of it only when insurgents, apparently believing it was filled with conventional explosives, tried to detonate it as a roadside bomb in May in Baghdad. Two U.S. soldiers suffered from symptoms of low-level exposure to the nerve agent. The shell was from Saddam's pre-1991 stockpile.

—Another old artillery shell, also rigged as a bomb and found in May, showed signs it once contained mustard agent.

—Two small rocket warheads, turned over to Polish troops by an informer, that showed signs they once were filled with sarin.

—Centrifuge parts buried in a former nuclear scientist's garden in Baghdad. These were part of Saddam's pre-1991 nuclear program, which was dismantled after the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The scientist also had centrifuge design documents.

—A vial of live botulinum toxin, which can be used as a biological weapon, in another scientist's refrigerator. The scientist said it had been there since 1993.

—Evidence of advanced design work on a liquid-propellant missile with ranges of up to 620 miles. Since the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq had been prohibited from having missiles with ranges longer than 93 miles.

Cry of the Poor

"How can it be that even today there are still people dying of hunger? Condemned to illiteracy? Lacking the most basic medical care? Without a roof over their heads? . . .

"Christians must learn to make their act of faith in Christ by discerning His voice in the cry for help that rises from this world of poverty."
-- Pope John Paul II
Novo Millennio Ineunte, no. 50
