Hey Media Whores, Bush did Lie!
I heard more than a few times tonight Media whores, aka Repubs, say that Bush was misled by the CIA. Why can't a Dem refute that by using facts and statements by Bush before the war. As a matter of fact, the following was said by Bush and his thugs before the war which there is NO, NONE, NADDA, evidence to back it up (not mentioned in any National Intelligence Estimate or even supported by any other government agency):

1. Saddam has massive stockpiles of Biological weapons;

2. Mushroom cloud

3. Saddam has Unmanned Aerial vehicles that could carry WMD and deliver it to the USA;

4. Saddam will give his WMD to terrorist groups.

5. Saddam plans to use his WMD against the USA unprovoked;

6. Saddam has a 911/al Qaeda connection

Bush said all of the above which was not supported by any of the facts and not supported by the CIA. So exactly how did the CIA mislead Bush? Where is the evidence that any of the above statements are true. There is none. Bush and his thugs said all of the above to scare the people/congress in order to get their war.

Why doesn't the media/dems use this as evidence that Bush and his thugs lied to us. That not only did the CIA hype the evidence but Bush went above and beyond that by hyping the hype. It seems as though the media wants us to believe that Bush did not lie but there is plenty of proof that he did...not to mention Cheney pressuring the CIA to give them the "evidence" they wanted.

1. The way some have jumped ship tonight they might just begin to
report the facts. Several have started to say positive things about Kerry. Maybe, just maybe they will get the message and feel free to discuss the facts.

:shrug:

3. Remember....
Dems were given an NIE that was hyped due to the Office of Special Plans and Cheney pressuring the CIA to give him the "evidence" he needs...I think if Dems knew the truth from the begining things would be very different...also, do not forgot (and the media wants you too), that Congress only authorized Bush to use the armed forces as a last option in disarming Saddam....Bush fooled the Dems in congress. I think it is very misleading to say that Kerry was for the war...he was only for the war if all else failed as was stated in the resolution...not all else failed because the weapons inspectors were doing their job and getting results. Once Bush saw that they were getting results (and starting to figure out that Saddam had no WMD) he pulled the inspectors out and started his war.
