Those two statements don’t go together. If Bush lied, then there was no gas to harm the troops. Bush said there were WMDs and there were.
Your cousin should sue Bush for “allowing” Hurricane Katrina to obliterate a U.S. city.
THE PRESIDENT Now, look, part of the reason we went into Iraq was -- the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn't, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction. But I also talked about the human suffering in Iraq, and I also talked the need to advance a freedom agenda. And so my question -- my answer to your question is, is that, imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there, stirring up even more trouble in a part of the world that had so much resentment and so much hatred that people came and killed 3,000 of our citizens.
