That’s the number of statements made by prominent Democrats affirming WMDs leading up to the War in Iraq. It wasn’t just President Bush who said Saddam Hussein had lethal weapons it was every Democrat who could find a TV camera and a reporter to talk to. Between February 1998 and February 2003 no less than 56 times Democrats called for Saddam’s removal by force if need be.
October 9th 1999 the following Senators sent a letter to President Clinton urging him to request authority to remove Saddam from power by any means. Senators, Levin / Lieberman / Lautenberg / Dodd / Kerrey / Feinstein / Mikulski / Daschle / Breaux / Johnson / Inouye / Landrieu / Ford and Kerry, all Democrats. Their claim was Saddam possessed WMDs and was working to produce a nuclear device. According to the afore mentioned Senators Saddam was an imminent threat to Americas security. Before 9/11 and immediately after Democrats were on Saddam’s case like California Condors on road-kill.
The following prominent Democrats made public statements unequivocally stating Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was an imminent threat to America’s security.
Some names appear more than once, and some on the same day, Each is an individual statement documented by the EIB Network, N.Y.
Joe Biden – August 4. 2002, Bill Clinton – February 17, 1998, Madeleine Albright – February 17, 1998, Al Gore – December 16, 1998, John Kerry – January 23, 2003, Nancy Pelosi December 16, 1998, Sandy Berger – February 18, 1998, Al Gore – September 23, 2002, John Kerry – October 9, 2002, Carl Levin – September 19, 2002, Ted Kennedy – September 27, 2002, Hillary Clinton – October 10, 2002, Jay Rockefeller – October 10, 2002, Madeleine Albright – November 10, 1999, Joe Biden – August 4, 2002, Robert Byrd – October 3, 2002, Madeline Albright – February 18, 2002, Jane Hartman – August 27, 2002, Al Gore – September 23, 2002, Joe Biden – August 4, 2002, Dick Durbin – September 30, 1999, Bill Clinton – December 17, 1998, Bill Nelson – August 25, 2002, Hillary Clinton – October 10, 2002, Nancy Pelosi – December 10, 2002, Dick Gephardt – September 23, 2002, Evan Bayh – August 4, 2002, Russell Feingold – October 9, 2002, Bill Clinton – February 17, 1998, Johnny Edwards – January 7, 2003, Hillary Clinton – January 22, 2003, John Kerry – January 31, 2003, Joe Biden – August 24, 2002, Bill Nelson – September 14, 2002, Johnny Edwards – February 6, 2003, Al Gore – September 23, 2002, Joe Biden – August 4, 2002, Tom Daschle – February 11, 1998, Bob Graham – December 8, 2002, Bill Richardson – May 29, 1998, John Kerry – February 23, 1998, and Hillary Clinton – October 10, 2002.
These are but a few of the statements made by Democrats supporting the belief Saddam Hussein had WMDs leading up to the invasion of Iraq. Not only did these prominent Democrats claim Saddam had lethal weapons so did the CIA, UN, and every intelligence agency in the free world. This war wasn’t something George Bush and the Republicans dreamed up Clinton had been planning one for half his second term. Terrorists flew the planes into the towers not Republicans. No one lied about the 3000 that perished on 9/11. If Bush lied about WMDs then so did Democrats and half of the rest of the world.
The new charges Democrats are making will only serve to make them look even more foolish than they do now. Once George Bush Cowboy’s up again and lets the public know the truth things will start to become more clear and truth will prevail. There’re only so many ways Liberals can tell that old story, Bush led us into war for oil, and have people with any intelligence believe it. There comes a time when it begins to insult the public’s intelligence.
Oh...... but they were lied to by Bush ....... even before Bush became president.
;-)
Ping
Texas governors are very powerful.
lol.
Gasp!! You mean they aren't???!!!?!?!?!?
;-)
Suppose the shoe was on the other foot. Suppose Bush got all his info from sources tainted by oil-for-food money (like the Democrats).
But, but...Bush manipulated the intelligence...errr...you mean he wasn't president yet?...oh, ummmm...don't confuse democrats with the facts.

One simply commercial showing these bozos making these demands and then pointing out that it was before Bush was president should clean up the current dem lies.
The power of the entire leftist movement and press to completely ignore reality is frightening.
Great read.
ONLY 56 times ? They definitely have some catching up to do.
The socialists just lie and say things like: "It never happened" or "I can't remember" and continue in office - Republicans show integrity and step aside.
Well, yeah, but, that was just political talk. They didn't really mean it. They didn't want to actually do something about Saddam. You mean Dubya took them seriously???? :)
