Oh, so WMD isn’t WMD unilaterally if you don’t find buildings full of it?
So finding sarin isn’t finding sarin?

You said...
“I’ve been sure for quite some time....the guy has really gone off the rails. He ain’t right in the head.”

As a conservative, there were too many red flags when it came to trump for me to even consider him. At the time, it was just his liberal positions and donations. today, I can add his sanity o the list

Are some of you people think Iraq was the right War?

I take it you mean other people like Donald Trump who thought (past tense) Iraq was the right war?

Or do you mean people like Donald Trump who think (present tense) that Iraq was the wrong war?

Or did you mean people like Donald Trump who lie with conviction at the top of their lungs in front of millions of people hypocritically accusing others of his very own sins?

I remember at the time in 2003, a story about Trump opposing Iraq invasion. Said it would destabilize things. That it wasn’t the same thing as Afghanistan, in his view. At the time I was pro Iraq, and thought his take on things weird.

Are you listening? 4000 Americans and countless Iraqis died to stop a mostly dormant WMD program that was a threat to nobody. We destroyed a country because their leader tried to kill our President’s father.

“Especially the people they were coming from.”

Exactly.. I wasn’t expecting this from real FReepers...

That is why I have been mostly silent :/ Too many good people (FReepers) I don’t want to push the wrong way >.<

Are you listening?
We were told time and again by the Democrats and the press that there weren’t “any”.
A sarin ied is proof that it existed.
Age, supposed dormancy, talking points, none of that matters because fact the is “ Yes, there were WMD found”.

Oh yeah, an interesting side note and point about link above, it is why Obama wants Assad gone, so his muzzy bros can snatch and grab what Saddam sent there.

I’m just peeved that idiots keep mindlessly repeating the lefts talking points.
We already had such mindless parroting from one troll named “JohnGalt” back then.

Why are you calling George W Bush a liar? He said there weren’t “any” WMD found. And yes what operational stuff Saddam had was sent to Syria, and Obama’s muzzy bros already have it, because it was in Western Syria.

Why do you try to predicate the existence of nonexistence of WMD on Bush?
Whether or not he was honest does not change the fact we found WMD.
Does not change the fact that there were sarin ied attacks, mustard gas ied attacks, sarin binary ampules found by the Poles, none of that changes.

First, absence of evidence in not evidence of absence of Trump’s disagreeing with entering Iraq. Plenty of conservatives and libertarians were opposed to entry into Iraq. And there was no reason for anyone to listen to a real estate guy in 2002 or 2003 saying to his associates that he opposed entering the war.

The Bush whitehouse always discounted any find of leftover materiel from prior to a certain date....I don’t recall exactly if it was the first Iraq war or what.

We always focused on Saddam’s capability for quick production, and many of us were focused on the ability with the recipe to make small quantities for terrorist delivery.

Again, the bush whitehouse refused to use even that. The bush whitehouse refused to defend itself.

That is NOT Donald Trump’s fault. In fact, it wasn’t too long before the bush whitehouse itself was saying there were no WMDs, the Congress was saying it, investigations were saying it, the media was saying it, Obama was saying it, and they used it to absolutely demolish the republicans in the campaign of 2008.

Again, that is not Donald Trump’s fault.

To repeat, absence of evidence in not evidence of absence of Trump’s disagreeing with entering Iraq.
