And you didn't believe that Iraq had WMD when the US invaded?

We were told by the President that Iraq had WMD.

We were told by members of his cabinet, including the most highly respected Colin Powell, that Iraq had WMD.

When Bill Clinton was President, he told us that Iraq had WMD.

We were told by leaders of our allies, including Great Britain, Germany, France and others, that they too had intelligence which showed Iraq had WMD.

We were told by leading Democratic members of Congress, including then Senator Hilliary Clinton, that Iraq had WMD.

Why wouldn't have any reasonable person believed, at the time of the invasion, that Iraq had WMD?

And an even greater percentage believe that a virgin gave birth to the savior of mankind, who later turned into a zombie. Your point? :coffee:

lol, JoltinJoe

I'm talking about well AFTER the actual invasion. Notice how "believe" is a present tense verb, you dense fuck.

We'll never know because everything about his past is a secret.

All the public has to go on...that think this... is his actions after becoming president.

Bowing to Saudi King
Said he was going to join a church in DC
No national prayer day
Didn't show up for the Boy Scout jamboree
Had Jesus covered up at speech
His comments on the Ground zero mosque
He spent $23 million promoting Kenya’s new pro sharia constitution.
Obama has insisted, “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.” Yet he said elsewhere America is “one of the largest Muslim nations in the world.” His religious adviser, Eboo Patel, once deemed the United States “the ideal place for the renewal of Islam.”

His speech in Cairo last June.

Saying to Stephanopoulos my Muslim faith before being corrected
Saying to NY Times that the Muslim call to faith is the most beautiful sound in the world.

Someone once said “By their fruits, ye shall know them.”

Zogby poll: 42% of Democrats thinks Bush was behind the 9-11 attack so I guess you're right about folks being dumb.

holy fuck you are dense.

"BELIEVE" IS A PRESENT TENSE VERB. MANY AMERICANS BELIEVE (IN THE PRESENT TENSE) THAT IRAQ HAD WMD WHEN WE INVADED.

IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD. YOU ARE A FUCKING LAWYER.

No, you just don't know how to write. Then this is how you should have written your sentence:

"More than that still believe that Iraq had WMD at the time we invaded."

This is how you express a present belief about a past event.

For the record, I don't think Obama is a muslim. The thing is, you have all these things to make many people believe so:

-His middle name is Hussein

-He was born to a (apparently non practicing) Muslim father.

-Was raised by a Muslim stepfather.

-Spent 4 years of his youth 1967-1971 in the muslim nation Indonesia, 2 of them attending a Muslim school.

-In an interview in 07' "Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/op ... rth&st=cse" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The muslim call to prayer tranlated: Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme. I witness that there is no god but Allah."

-"My Muslim Faith"
[youtube][/youtube]

-His 1st formal television interview after being elected was with the muslim network Al Arabia, where he said:
-"I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries."
-Called US one of the largest Muslim countries in the world:
[youtube][/youtube]

-As part of his European and middle East apology tour during his couple of months in office he gave a major speech in Cairo. He apologized muslims for so called past sins he thinks were committed by past US presidents and people. He placed western culture on an even footing with Arab cultures, omitting the facts that women are generally subjugated in those cultures, gays are ostracized or killed outright, freedom of the press is rare, and elections are usually a joke.

-Bowed to the Saudi King

-Changed the "War on Terror" to "Overseas Contingency Operations."
-Changed terrorism to "man caused disasters". (see Napolitano, der spiegel)
-Never has invoked the term "muslim extremist". He never has used muslim and terrorist in the same sentence. -Never called the Fort Hood terrorist Major Nidal Hassan a terrorist, didn't call the attack an act of terrorism, or blamed it on muslim extremism.

-400 million aid package to the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the terrorist group Hamas

-Came out supporting the building of a 13 story mosque Islamic community center less than 600 feet from ground zero.

I could go on. And you wonder why 18-24% of Americans thinks Obama is muslim. I'm surprised its not higher.

So is being Muslim that bad the the Donks go to the extreme to deny it even though he has been a member of Rev Wrights church for 20+ years. Then on the other hand they blatently attack Christianity and are apologetic towards Muslims. I'm not sure if they feel it's better to Muslim or Christian, or if they stand for anything at all. :coffee:

Like Bill Clinton?

Also Iraq had, some years earlier, actually used weapons of mass destruction against the Kurds. So why would it have been unreasonable for any American to have believed, in March 2003, that Iraq had WMD?

Al Gore also believed, and IMO, would have invaded Iraq due to it's strategic location to the Saudi Oil fields, which are important to the US economy. Gore might have used the same excuse or a different one, either way, the ruling elite in this country wanted Saddam out.

The question is why were all of our leaders so badly informed? Did someone at CIA cook the intelligence? In my estimation, sending our troops to war and gaining support for that war, on false pretenses, is high treason.
