Send them this list of questions back:

1. if Bush truly had enough cause to go to war, why was it necessary to lie repeatedly?

2. If the evidence existed, why was the evidence not presented instead of lies?

3. Why was this presented to the American people and the rest of the world as an act of defense against an imminent threat when no such threat existed?

4. Why did Condolezza Rice make the statement that the aluminum tubes found were "really only suitable for one purpose" that purpose being a centrifuge for refining uranium, when in fact the tubes were not suitable for that purpose at all?

5. Why did Bush announce to the world that we had already found weapons of mass destruction when, in fact, we had not?

6. Why did Bush say we had found mobile chemical weapons labs when those trailers were, in fact, designed for filling balloons and were sold to Iraq by the UK in the 1980's?

7. Why did Dick Cheny make the knowingly false statement that Iraq had already reconstituted nuclear weapons?

8. Why did he also say "we know where they are" when referring to weapons of mass destruction (which have never been found)?

9. Why is Bush now asking for help from the organization he considered irrelevant mere months ago?

10. Why did Bush say in July of this year that "We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in." when, in fact inspectors were in the country doing their job just 48 hoours before military action started, thus lying yet again?

11. Why did Ashcroft say that the provisions of the Patriot Act authorizing access to library records had never been used, when, in fact, they had been used in 2002?

12. Why did Bush say that "Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaida." when no reliable evidence has ever been produced?

14. Why does the Bush administration continually refer to weapons Iraq posessed as of 1991 without informing people that the majority of those weapons, if still in existence, would no longer be effective as most chemical and biological weapons have short shelf life and would be nearly worthless after only 3 years?
