if Repubs backpeddle any further

[Phatfish]

they are gonna fly through the back wall fo congress. Santorum is saying right now that Nuclear WMDs were never an important reason to go after Iraq. "It is being blown way out of proportion. " Why then, sir, did nyclear weapons in Iraq get two sentences get in most important speech of the year???? Just admit Bush was wrong and move on.

1. It started with Cheney and nuclear weapons

In his speech in August 2002. What information was he using to base those statements? Then Bush and his 6 month statement that proved to be a lie. And mushroom clouds all over the place. And dirty bombs. It's bull that they didn't hype this up because nuclear weapons scare people the most.

2. Here's the proper response

So, if Saddam's nuclear capability wasn't the reason, why did National Security Advisor Rice talk about the prospect of a mushroom cloud? Why did Vice President Cheney go on national television to state unequivocally that Saddam had a reconstituted nuclear program? Why was there pressure on the CIA to drop its opposition to those 16 little words in the State of the Union address?

For such a minor point, a lot of big shots in this administration sure were making a lot of noise about it. Didn't they trust the American people to make a reasoned decision to support the invasion based on the truth rather than a bunch of overblown hype?

It's a simple enough question, Mr. Santorum. Can you provide a simple enough answer?

but I might have to take a peek just for the satisfaction of watching his head explode as his king gets flushed down the shitter.
