Neocon continues to promote false claim about Iraq WMD

Full story at http://www.thebluestate.com/2007/02/video_neocon_ga.html

Frank Gaffney -- a neoconservative and head of a new group called "Victory Caucus" that smears any Republicans that oppose Bush's war policy -- told Tucker Carlson today that Saddam Hussein had weapons that he was going to use in U.S. cities. Here is the video

Partial Transcript:

GAFFNEY: We now know that Saddam Hussein had hot production lines for biological and chemical weapons.

CARLSON: You really believe that?

GAFFNEY: This is what the Iraq Survey Group determined. Hot production lines and both plans to ramp them up once sanctions came off and to put them into aerosol cans and perfume sprayers to send to the United States and Europe.

Simply amazing! That is called lying. Here was what the Iraq Survey Group actually reported: "While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of checmical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad's desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered."

Even President Bush has admitted the exact same thing. In 2004, this was Bush in his own words: "The chief weapons inspector, Charles Duelfer, has now issued a comprehensive report that confirms the earlier conclusion of David Kay that Iraq did not have the weapons that our intelligence believed were there."

Nice try, Mr. Gaffney.

Some people are not gonna want to stop wanting more wars, until they reach World War 3!

(Should read "The Empire Strikes Bush", and "George W. Vader?").

By the way, "This is how liberty dies ....to thunderous applause" was written about BUSH. See my MASTER OF WAR website and learn something new (start with the articles George W. Vader?" "George W. Vader?").

And anybody who still thinks, after all that's gone down, that Darth Cheney and his Wormtongue sidekick are "defenders of liberty", and Obama is not, is terminally willfully ignorant.

When Gafney said "anybody who understands the danger of biological agents...", Matthews should have asked:

a. "Who SOLD him those biological agents" (Rumsfeld in the 80's)

b. Would he have used them on us (OR Israel), knowing it would be suicide? (Richard Clarkes's reality-based assessment.) He had them for over TWENTY YEARS and didn't...

History lesson: we kicked the inspectors OUT (ask Scott Ritter and Hans Blix), and had no REAL coalition of the willing. And the invasion was DUMB strategy in the war on terror. EXACTLY what Osama, SWORN ENEMY of Saddam, WANTED us to do to: give AQ more recruits and moral support (ask REPUBLICANS Brent Scowcroft and Richard Clarke). How many times do you people have to hear this before it sinks in?

[SelfImmolator]

This war is objectively 'illegal', 'unjustified' and 'unending' is it? How did you find that out? Oh the UN doesn't like it? Tough. I don't care about democracy, I care about human- and civil rights.

[SelfImmolator]

1) I'm not a republican. I'm a liberal progressive. 2) The US did not kill a million people.

[FistInTheAir420]

Saddam was firing at US Planes that were conducting air strikes on Iraq. Was he not supposed to defend his country?

[firejack007]

drop of a hat? you guys just make up your own history? we went thru several UN resolutions,Un presentations, congressional debates and votes. we didn't just go do it.

non existent al qaeda terrorists. they were sure quick to show up after we got baghdad. you didn't say anything about the fedayeen.

And the rest of the world is thankful we do spend so much on Defense. What would the world be like if we didn't? Peaciful? Only a fool would think that.

[micahgee]

exactly!

we don't WANT democracy!

Its just a excuse like the white mans burden to give the noble savage-type Iraqi's "freedom" and "democracy".

How is continuing a illegal unjustified unending war "democratic"???

Makes me sick
