3. The weapons inspectors were not kicked out, until Bush kicked them. |
|
Bush calleed them, and warned that he was going to invade. They should immediately leave. That is NOT saddam doing the kicking.

4. First of all, they weren't kicked out of Iraq. They were ordered out by the Bush Administration, |
|
after being allowed back into Iraq by Saddam Hussein under pressure from the U.N. and the international community.
They were ordered out because the Smirking Chimp was going to proceed with his preordained invasion of Iraq. It was an attempt to steal Iraq's oil. WMD's had absolutely nothing to do with the invasion.

5. Almost right. They would also serve as an expanding market, to keep |
|
capitalism alive a while longer.

8. It's unbelievable how the "kicked out" lie lives on. Especially on a Democratic discussion board. |

7. Eleanor Roosevelt returns with super powers enabling her to determine that... |
|
...the only real weapons of mass destruction are located between the ears of Dick Cheney. War breaks out on his head, victory is declared minutes later, and every American gets a coupon for two scoops of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins.

12. Clinton-era Iraq policy really wasn't much to be proud of. |
|
Then again the same is true of US Middle East policy in general.
