KERRY LIED!!!

John Kerry's pre-war authorization to threaten to authorize to use force if ok with everyone else | 04/02/04 | Sam Pender

There's a lot of angry liberal (oxymoron) battlecry out there alleging that President Bush lied about the War in Iraq. Well, all politicians suck, so let's hold them all accountable for their words.... By Sam Pender

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He lied about Saddam's chemical and biological weapons capacity: "Evidence suggests that it has begun renewed production of chemical warfare agents, probably including mustard gas, sarin, cyclosarin and VX. Intelligence reports show that Iraq has invested more heavily in its biological weapons programs over the last four years, with the result that all key aspects of this program - R&D, production and weaponization - are active. Most elements of the program are larger and more advanced than they were before the Gulf War. Iraq has some lethal and incapacitating agents and is capable of quickly producing and weaponizing a variety of such agents, including anthrax, for delivery on a range of vehicles such as bombs, missiles, aerial sprayers and covert operatives which could bring them to the United States homeland. " –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002

He lied about Saddam's missiles: "Since inspectors left, the Iraqi regime has energized its missile program - probably now consisting of a few dozen Scud-type missiles with ranges of 650 to 900 kilometers that could hit Israel, Saudi Arabia and other U.S. allies in the region. In addition, Iraq is developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), capable of delivering chemical and biological warfare agents, which could threaten Iraq's neighbors as well as American forces in the Persian Gulf. " –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002

He lied to convince us that Saddam was making nukes: "Iraq has maintained its nuclear scientists and technicians as well as sufficient dual-use manufacturing capability to support a reconstituted nuclear weapons program. Iraqi defectors who once worked for Iraq's nuclear weapons establishment have reportedly told American officials that acquiring nuclear weapons is a top priority for Saddam Hussein's regime. " –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002

He lead America to believe that Saddam could have a bomb by 10/03!!! "If Iraq could acquire this material from abroad, the CIA estimates that it could have a nuclear weapon within one year." –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002

He lied about needing the international community's support: "Can we really leave this to chance, when we could eliminate this deadly threat by acting now in concert with the international community, or alone if the threat is imminent -- which it is not now? In my view, we cannot. " –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002

He tried to sell Saddam's intent-his "wants" as a reason for war: The Iraqi regime's record over the decade leaves little doubt that Saddam Hussein wants to retain his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and to expand it to include nuclear weapons. We cannot allow him to prevail in that quest. The weapons are an unacceptable threat. And if the Iraqi regime refuses to allow the international community to find and destroy those weapons through a non-negotiable, immediate, unfettered and unconditional inspection process, then together with the international community, we will be justified in going to war to eliminate the threat. " –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002

"Mr. President, I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security and that of our allies in the Persian Gulf region. And I will vote "yes" because on the question of how best to hold Saddam Hussein accountable, the Administration, including the President, recognizes that war must be our last option to address this threat, not the first, and that we should be acting in concert with allies around the globe to make the world's case against Saddam Hussein. As the President made clear earlier this week, "Approving this resolution does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable." It means that "America speaks with one voice." " –Sen. John Kerry (D) 10/09/2002 (note: over 5 months later-having spent a record total of 17 months on diplomatic efforts toward Iraq, diplomacy failed, the President still gave Saddam a 48 hr last chance to peacefully resolve the entire situation)

John Kerry lied.

The Left relies upon the peoples' inability to recall facts, even a couple of months prior

LOL, oh so true. That is why they have the motto and website, Moveon.org. "Move along please, nothing to see here", which actually means, "Move along please, we do not want to get caught in a lie again".
