WMD’s found in Iraq
Liberwocks continue to labor under an old but effective fiction: that there were no WMD’s in Iraq. The fact that political mythology of this kind is still believed by so many is the reason for this post.
A while ago I was blogging at another site when a liberal cosmonaut wandered in and left this witless comment.
“Bush killed many innocent and young soldiers when he said there was a need to fight in Iraq and Iran. The truth is both these countries never had nuclear weapons of any kind to be of any threat to any country including USA. He should be tried for failing Americans but he got away scott-free.”
The comment is especially entertaining, because it carries with it the message neoliberals wanted everyone to get. You see, they never came out and said there weren’t any WMD’s—just that none had been found. The implication was that since no weapons were found, there never were any to begin with. Makes perfect sense…if you’re a liberal. Anyway, the poor dunce who commented on my post just went ahead and stated “aloud” what the libtard powers that be wanted everyone to think. So, of course, I felt it my solemn duty to confuse him with the facts.
FACT: In June of 2006 the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, released portions of a declassified report which stated unequivocally that “Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.”
FACT: In a January 2008 report on 60 minutes, top CIA operative George Piro revealed that Saddam Hussein had phased out his biological weapons program since the 90s but was willing to go to war with the U.S., because he needed to continue the illusion that he had an active WMD program, as a hedge against his arch enemy, Iran. He apparently had no idea that the U.S. was planning such an exhaustive offensive, or he would’ve reconsidered that strategy.
FACT: Saddam was planning on restarting his program on every level (nuclear and biological), approximately one year after U.N. sanctions were lifted. This explains why he was actively approaching North Africa for the procurement of yellow cake. This also explains why 550 metric tons of the stuff was removed from Iraq in 2008 courtesy of the United States of America.
What does it all mean? Well…it means that we can dispense with Bush bashing over the “no WMDs” hoax. There are plenty of other things to be pissed off about concerning Bush Jr, but his grounds for invasion ain’t one of ‘em. We can also dispense with the whole, “Bush should be tried for war crimes” BS as well. Long before Bush Jr was going to war, the same liberals who decried it, were agreeing with the intel and saying, “we have no choice but to take Hussein out.” Well, I’ll bet you won’t read that in The New York Times, will you?

Chad, you are spot on here. I hope that everyone that reads this post takes the time to watch the video you provided. Seeing a “supposed” opponent to the Bush policies on Iraq speak so fervently in SUPPORT of his actions only strengthens the concept of “legislate by popularity” that the Democrats have employed.
It’s all crap. Hussein was a threat (along with others) and we acted, unlike the spineless countries like France (that we repeatedly defend militarily). So, either put up or shut up, I say. If you TRULY are against such policies, then at least have the guts to do it when it is unpopular. Yeah, right. The liberal agenda is driven by the emotion of the uninformed American. Fact is an enemy to the liberal cause. I suggest we send ‘em to China if they want socialism. Duplicitous [children with no known father]!
[...] Earlier this week, I posted some commentary entitled, WMD’s found in Iraq. [...]
WOW! We only paid $1.4 Billion per container of unusable sarin and mustard gas. You folks on the right know a bargain when you see one! I wish us liberals were that smart!
It was Herman Goering, that old Nazi, who said, “People can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.… All you have to do is tell them they’re being attacked and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
MR,
And that means exactly “what” to me? Your cutesy little comments don’t cut any mustard around here, pal. If you can’t address the central schema of this post, then please, do us all a favor and shut the hole under your nose. “Degraded” doesn’t mean unusable and saying you’re planning on kick-starting your biological weapons program on every level doesn’t mean you’re just going to sit on your hands and do nothing. BTW, yellow cake isn’t something you eat in this context; it’s something you use to make a nuclear weapon…or didn’t you read the post? In addition to removing an imminent threat in the form of Saddam Hussein, we also established a government of democracy over there. That’s pretty substantial no matter how you sissyfied libernazis want to frame it.
Does no one else think it’s disturbing MR is quoting a nazi? Should you believe ANYTHING a Nazi tells you? They’re Nazis! if their ideology was wrong, then their assertions are, too…
But wait, Nazis=Socialism. And Maobama=socialism. Wow, I should have realized, OF COURSE, leftards will quote the Nazis- they idoloize their manipulation of the populace. That’s the ultimate elite goal- the few controlling the many.
It is really interesting to see someone refer to anyone as “leftards” after stating that the nazis were socialist. Either you do not know what socialism is or you do not know who the nazis were. I guess that makes you a rightard.
And what, pray tell, do you think Nazis were?
Wait! Before you answer, let me give you a simple link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism
Nazism, known officially in German as National Socialism[1][2][3][4] (German: Nationalsozialismus), is the totalitarian ideology and practices of the Nazi Party or National Socialist German Workers’ Party under Adolf Hitler, and the policies adopted by the dictatorial government of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.[5][6][7][8]
They proclaimed themselves Socialists. I know, I speak some German, so I had an unfair advantage over you, and totally grasped where “Nazi” comes from. Sorry, I normally don’t engage in a battle of wits with unarmed folks.
Thanks T.R.
Yes, because anyone who has attended junior college ( or is imbecilic enough to listen to their prof) “knows” that Nazis were really conservatives obsessed with iconic imagery, symbolism, marching with very stiff legs, and…oh yes, snuffing out an entire race of ppl. You lefties surprise even me with your ignorance.
