If only rightwingnuts had ANY common sense at all...

bush says he NEVER EVER said Iraq was any "imminent" threat. Well yes actually, he DID say "imminent", but let's drop that down the Memory Hole. bush now says Iraq was a FUTURE THREAT.

Ok, let's ignore the fact he rushed our troops to future threat without enough rifles and ammo and body armor etc.

bush says invasion was THE LAST RESORT.

Well let's think about this for just a minute then. You know...with COMMON SENSE.

So bush's bottom lie...I mean line is:

No imminent threat; Iraq was a FUTURE threat; invasion was a last resort.

Then WHY DID BUSH KICK OUT THE UN WEAPONS INSPECTORS?

They wanted 90 days to finish their work.

-Wouldn't THAT have been a LAST RESORT, invading AFTER the UN teams finished their work and found WMD or IF they'd been blocked by Saddam Hussein from finishing their work?

-Wouldn't THAT, waiting 90 days have been worth the LIVES AND LIMBS of our own people?

So either bush's invasion WAS NOT A LAST RESORT, (in which case he violated the US Constitution, US law, International law, several treaties, as well as HIS OWN RESOLUTION) which bush says it WAS a last resort...Or it WAS AN IMMINENT THREAT, which bush says it wasn't.

Wakie wakie stupid rightwingnuts. Even a child has enough COMMON SENSE to figure this shit out.

1. Repugs

Don't have any common sense because they spend all their brain power on trying to steal elections. But we will stop them this time.

2. This is true.

But at least we do have absolute evidence that CANNOT be disputed; rightwingnuts are ignorant stupid idiots and don't give a damn about the lives or limbs of US soldiers.

4. Bush couldn't wait 90 days because of his election timetable.

Bush had to invade in early 2003. Think about it. If he had invaded in 2004, the mess of 2003 would still be ongoing. Bush had been told that it would be all wrapped up by now, that Iraq would be holding elections and he would smell of roses. In-curious George Wrongly believed it.

He couldn't wait 90 days because that would have put the invasion into the hottest part of the year and the military has always put its foot down about not doing that, in 2003, and in 1991 for the Gulf War.

Saddam had to be dealt with sooner or later and one way or another, but not Bush's unilateral wrong way and not on his election timetable.

5. 1 out of 3

First part; I agree.

2nd part; "hottest part of year can't invade" is total bushite. The US military doesn't do invasions by seasons.

3rd part; Saddam WAS being dealt with. As Powell and Rice and Tenet themselves made very clear before the invasion;

In Cairo, on February 24 2001, Powell said: "He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours."

On May 15 2001, Powell went further and said that Saddam Hussein had "not been able to build his military back up or to develop weapons of mass destruction" for "the last 10 years".

America, he said, had been successful in keeping him "in a box". Ie, the sanctions were working.

Two months later, Condoleezza Rice also described a weak, divided and militarily defenceless Iraq. "Saddam does not control the northern part of the country," she said. "We are able to keep his arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."

Seven Months Before 9/11, CIA Director George Tenet, testified before Congress that Iraq posed no immediate threat to the United States or to other countries in the Middle East and that they had no new evidence Iraq had or was acquiring WMD.
