So you lefties and/or Democrats want to continue
chanting your ever-popular "BUSH LIED" blather.
So be it...........
So George W. Bush lied.
Ok.
As it turns out, he was FAR from alone in such deceit.
And oddly enough, some of the following LIARS were
spreading the same exact LIES long before some of us
(Regular American folk) even knew there *was* a George
"W" Bush. Much less that he was going to be running for
President of the United States of America.
_____________<Begin List of LIARS>_____________
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop
weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our
bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"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."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great
deal
here. For the risks 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."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times
since 1983."
--Sandy Berger,
--Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the
U.S.
Constitution
and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and
missile strikes on
suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's
refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs."
--Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others,
Oct.
9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he
has
made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons
programs.
Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue
apace
and
may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to
redefine
delivery
systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to
develop
longer-
range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat
to the
peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the
United
Nations
and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering
them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical
weapons
t
hroughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to
deter
and
we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and
developing
weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are
confident
that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological
weapons,
and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical
and
biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is
seeking
nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"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."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working
aggressively
to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the
next
five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the
progress
Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years,
every
significant
UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical
and
biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10,
2002.....................................
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous
dictator,
leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous
threat
because he is
so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating
America's response
to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass
destruction .
... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is
real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
"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 ... It is clear,
however, that
if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity
to
wage
biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear
weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that
Saddam
Hussein
has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the
production and
storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

There is some good news in all of this though...
(And NO! I'm not switching to Geico!) Just think how brilliantly
simple and easy the 2006 and 2008 campaigns are going to be
for the Democrats! No more tired feet standing in front of the
microphones giving long boring speeches for them!
