Tell me again what the Bush Admin wouldn’t defend itself against the ridiculous ‘no WMDs’ charge???
I’m trying to answer that question as well.
Maybe if I ever happen to run into Bush I will ask him.
Well, there’s a simple explanation: keeping the focus on WMDs kept people from being concerned about things like the Patriot Act and the budget.
Things take on a different light if you consider “Democrat” and “Republican” to be facades in a play by the political elite.
I believe the Bush admin was concerned that confirmation of stray chemical weapons in Iraq would draw jihadists and terrorists from around the middle east, like a moth to a flame....i.e. a certain weapons stockpile in Benghazi.
So the Bush admin just ‘took it’ and put the nation’s (and world’s) security above politics.
The Bush Admin was not the problem. AP and Reuters noted that 550 tons of yellow cake was found shortly after we entered Iraq, but our soldiers sat on it for at least 3 or 4 yrs, as it was close to Iran border...until a Canada company bought it.
Most people read the story on Canada Free Press and there have been several threads on FR, just don’t expect the Media to embarrass themselves by stating the one thing they pounced on for years against President Bush for the War lies....not going to happen.
See link at #15 on this thread.
My guess and I bet I am on the money, they didn't want the insurgents to have any intel on possible weapons caches hidden in Iraq. The media has loose lips and would give out too much info.
“me again what the Bush Admin wouldn’t defend itself against the ridiculous ‘no WMDs’ charge???”
Because they didn’t want a worldwide terrorist rush into Iraq looking for WMD’s to use before they could find them all.
Bush cared more about results, than propaganda.
I understand why, but I also understand how much that stand has cost America.
This is not new information. This has been openly known.
But the MSM continually changed what they would call a WMD until you needed to have a working nuclear bomb with the timer going and a evil scientist in a white lab coat stroking a hairless cat explaining that this was a WMD before they would categorize it as such. And even then some would argue that since it had not gone off yet it should not be considered a WMD and so there still was no sign of them.
