Of the many lies in Bushie's speech yesterday...

[JuniperLea]

I can't get this one out of my mind.

"And so Saddam Hussein was given a choice. He chose war. And so we moved. And he was removed from power. And there is absolutely no doubt in my mind America is safer for it and the world is better off without Saddam Hussein."

He went on and on about how his wasn't the only administration that thought Saddam Hussein had WMD and his reasons for going to war... yada yada. We all know how that turned out. Then he makes the statement I've quoted above, from the CNN transcripts...

Can anyone tell me how he can say that Hussein chose war?

[JeffR]

1. Well

He refused to let inspectors back in. Oh wait, he did let them in.

He wouldn't cough up his WMDs. Oh wait, he didn't have any.

He was in league with Al Qaeda. Oh wait, no he wasn't.

Uh, I give up.

[underpants]

2. Hew didn't give up the WMD

that he didn't have

that the UN inspectors couldn't find

before we invaded

[liveoaktx]

3. He says that every time... it's been part of his basic Terror Terror

speech-maybe he figures if he says it enough, people will start believing it.

[shoelace414]

4. he disregarded the UN resolution to give up the WMD's he didn't have

[fooj]

5. He's a liar. Pure and Simple.

The moment we call him on it is the moment he will stop!

Peace.

[JuniperLea]

8. This might be a good question for him...

yes?

[arcane1]

6. he "chose war" by telling the truth about his WMD's

and my hate for Bush is doubled now, for making me stand up for a bastard like Saddam... but it's true. Saddam was honest about WMD's, Bush was the liar

[JuniperLea]

9. I know precisely how you feel

I feel the same way.

We now have no credibility whatsoever.

[arcane1]

10. if "we" = the USA, then you're absolutely right

if "we" = we at DU, we're the only ones with any credibility left

[JuniperLea]

12. We = USA

I don't trust "us"... I can't expect any other country or world leader to trust us. The US has no credibility.

[arcane1]

14. indeed

sad but true


yet far too many Americans are clueless as to why "they" hate us :(

[sinkingfeeling]

7. I think Chimpy has said those lines about 1000 times. I hate reruns.

[DrDebug]

11. He refused to be removed from power -> he chose war -> he was removed

Dubya logic

[JuniperLea]

13. As twisted as those pretzels he loves to choke on
