Bush kicked out weapons inspectors not Saddam (2003)

The GOP has been trying to rewrite history, claiming "Saddam would not let the inspectors back in" to justify invading Iraq.

Unfortunately for them, we have a little something called "video tape". Clips of UNMOVIC inspectors in Iraq destroying Saddam's stockpile of al-Samoud missiles in the weeks prior to the invasion of Iraq before President Bush orders everyone out of Iraq the week before the invasion on March 19, 2003.

@Primekid

Actually there were WMDs in Iraq. Just in the hands of Ansar al-Islam.

Just seems like what everyone already knows.

It is good to totally disarm and fully measure up a country via the UN disingenuously before you fuck them right up. Im sure USA would of done it without the disarming but it saves a lot of money and a few more lives. Less US troops deaths is better politics.

@jopaddy81 I believe you replied to the wrong person. Everything you said is correct.

[jopaddy81]

Al Samoud 2 missiles were not WMDs. The were just long range missiles and we have plenty of those

[jopaddy81]

@Primekid WMDs were all destroyed in 1993 in the memo released according to the informant Kamel Hussein. There were none. Where are they?

where were the mobile labs?

Bush is a liar and unfortunately Obama is no better

[jopaddy81]

@BI30 rubbish.... there were no weapons, the dossier contained lies, we all know it. Here in the UK we are not deluded like and we know the dossier was sexed up. Iraq let the inspectors in, Bush asked them to leave. Give us a break with the nonsense

[BI30]

@Primekid "the wikileaks "scandal" showed that WMD in Iraq did exist... some leftist socialist will only see what they choose to see."

I don't even need to reply.

[Primekid]

@BI30 Ooo, neocon, how novel. They never proved that they did not exist. They would not be destroying them if they didn't exist. Not to mention the fact that material exposed during the wikileaks "scandal" showed that WMD in Iraq did exist.

But then some leftist socialist will only see what they choose to see. “It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason as to administer medication to the dead.”

--- Thomas Jefferson

I'm through with you.

[BI30]

@Primekid We didn't invade Iraq because of Saddam's supposed failure to comply with the ILA. Bush used non-extant WMD's as his justification. And if you actually READ those Resolutions Saddam "failed to comply with", they charged him with failing to destroy his WMD's... which the inspectors in 2003 were already proving did not exist.

I shouldn't still be surprised at just how willing Neocons are to send others off to fight and die in avoidable & unnecessary wars of choice.

[Primekid]

like the irrelevant UN.
