The lie continues thusly.

1. Maybe we should "DU" the Web site...

...and tell them to update that page. :evilgrin:

[TNOE]

2. LOL

OH THIS IS A KEEPER!!!! Good find!

[bif]

3. Better copy it before they delete it.

n/t

[Imalittleteapot]

4. Screen captured for future reference. Great find.

Don't expect it to last in the site for long. Big brother is watching.

[oregonjen]

5. lies, lies, lies

Read it, but couldn't find a date. What was the date on that?

[Lurking Dem]

11. It's obviously been there

awhile. I think they're too busy shredding Cheney's energy meeting documents to update their website.

Very interesting if you scoot around on whitehouse.gov in the Iraq section: ALL the pronouncements/declarations/addresses, etc. made by the Adminstration are archived there for your amusement. My favorite was Condoleeza's speech on Why We Know Iraq Is Lying.

Priceless.

17. the link for Rice's article

13. January 28, 2003

At the top of the page, there's a link "America Responds". Click it, then on THAT page, there'a a link that says "Disarm Saddam Hussein (January 28, 2003)"

[DUreader]

6. This is the Peoples' property I'm copy/pasting it right here

Disarm Saddam Hussein

The gravest danger we face in the war on terror is outlaw regimes that seek and possess
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

Twelve years ago, Saddam Hussein agreed to disarm all weapons of mass destruction.
For 12 years, he systematically violated that agreement.
Three months ago, the United Nations Security Council gave Saddam his final chance to
disarm. He has shown his utter contempt for the U.N.
The U.N. and U.S. intelligence sources have known for some time that Saddam Hussein
has materials to produce chemical and biological weapons, but he has not accounted for
them:
26,000 liters of anthrax—enough to kill several million people
38,000 liters of botulinum toxin
500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents
Almost 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents
From three Iraqi defectors, we know that Iraq in the late 1990s had several mobile biological
weapons labs. But he has not disclosed them.
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had
an advanced nuclear weapons development program, a design for a nuclear weapon, and
was working on methods of enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb. He recently sought
significant quantities of uranium from Africa, according to the British Government. He has
attempted to purchase high strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons,
according to our intelligence sources. Yet he has not credibly explained these activities.
Thousands of Iraqi security personnel are at work hiding documents and materials from the
UN inspectors.
Iraqi officials accompany all inspectors in order to intimidate witnesses.
Iraq is blocking U-2 surveillance flights requested by the U.N.
Saddam Hussein has ordered that scientists who cooperate with the UN be killed, along
with their families.
Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including al-Qaida members. He could
provide hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own. It would take just one
vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we
have ever known.

The United States will ask the UN Security Council to convene next week to consider the facts of
Iraq’s ongoing defiance of the world. We will consult. But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm, we
will act for the safety of our people, and for the peace of the world.

7. Aren't they ever going to get tired of the same lie???

:shrug:

[WilliamPitt]

8. Solid gold

Thank you.

[jedicord]

9. Here's a BIG Lie

"But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm, we will act for the safety of our people, and for the peace of the world."

Remember when BuSh said "We will give Saddam 3 days to disarm or we will attack."? Then we attacked after 3 days.

Apparently, at the time of the attack he WAS disarmed.

So why did we attack?

I can't get past that point...

[VOX]

Outstanding find! And for God's sake, do a screen capture!

You know how "history" is now being rewritten as we go.

Good work, LD...:toast:

[derby378]

10. Just e-mailed them...

...and told them to remove the statements from that page.

You can e-mail them, too. Just don't give them your name or e-mail address if privacy is a concern.

:evilgrin:

[Cocoa]

12. that reminds me...

I'd forgotten all about the aluminum tubes. Another lie they knew was a lie and went ahead with.

[enough]

14. Fantastic -- there are all the old familiars.

African uranium, aluminum tubes!

Hey, there's the reference to the Iraqi minders ("to intimidate witnesses"), which will be useful when they get to talking about the US govenment minders in the 911 investigation.

But my favorite of all is the last paragraph, basing the whole thing on a "could" and a "would."

This is indeed a wonderful document. Copy, copy, copy.

[mdmc]

15. Good find

Is there any info on why Saddam was left in power in 1991? I know it was the right thing to do, but does w. think daddy fucked up?

[blueseas]

16. Great find

Mass e mailed out!

[caduceus]

18. Paul Krugman

I emailed the links, html files, and screen prints to Paul Krugman with the hope that he will include them in his next NY Times editorial.

We should send this to every major news media outlet! Many of them, especially those in the UK and Canada will pick up on it.

[Ouabache]

19. Saved it

It can be saved IN IE with a click on file' & save as' and I saved it in both html as a complete webpage and in mht as a single file archive of the page format. The complete webpage save will create folders and a page that accesses those folders-keep them all together in same directory. I save a lot of stuff like this. Burn 'em onto cd's and pass them around.

You never know historians someday may need this stuff.

Everybody save to your hard drive, burn it to cd too, then when they disappear it, we have backups.

Someone needs to check back each day and see when they actually disappear it. That will be interesting to note.

[midnitemoleman]

20. How can you disarm if you have no weapon's?

I know the burden of proof was on Iraq to prove they had no weapon's, so how do you show you don't have something.

[newyawker99]

21. Hi jedicord!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Stephanie]

22. Rat bastards

"It would take just one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known."

[DoYouEverWonder]

23. You wouldn't believe the stuff they post at the WH

and the Pentagon. Check out the Pentagon's website, if you want to find transcripts of every insane utterance of Rummie and Co. We don't need subpoena power to convict these bastards, most of us have more than plenty, on our hard drives, to convict the whole gang. The internet may well be our salvation.
