Bill O'Reilly says the WMDs have moved to Syria and Lybia

Shortly before the 2003 invasion of Iraq Bill O'Reilly quotes British and American "intelligence" to indicate that Saddam Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction have moved to Syria or Lybia. This is another very small lie in the Fox News campaign to promote the invasion of Iraq as the only alternative.

AND IF HE HE HAD NOTHING TO HIDE WHY ALL THE CAT AND MOUSE GAMES

[gameragodzilla]

So your sources are the ISG (which reached no conclusion), Bush (who heard the tapes and wanted them released a while after he "admitted" there were no wmds), and saddam Hussein (who was being questioned by US officials. Do you really say yes when the cops accuse you of something?).

My sources are saddam's top airforce advisor, a Syrian journalist who lived in the area, Israeli intelligence, and various US intelligence agents as well. You just dismiss 'em as mass liars.

[gameragodzilla]

And the ISG didn't dismiss it. Even their own words said that they were unable to rule out the possibility. Simply reading parts of it takes things out of context. They said it was unlikely, but not impossible. They reached no clear conclusion. If you want to keep ignoring my rhetoric, then fine. You'll still need to do better than just repeating and ignoring.

[gameragodzilla]

Well, you just completely ignored what I said. Bush said that when he was mistaken. He said there were no wmds in Iraq when he didn't find 'em In Iraq. He ended up hearing those tapes and wanting them released afterwards. Unfortunately, people like you convieniantly ignore it.

You try harder. I have offered rhetorics to both of your sources and neither are simple dismissals of lying.

@gameragodzilla

lol, you didn't "shoot it down", you just ignore it. The report dismisses the theory, as did President Bush. And when did Bush say he changed his mind after listening to those "tapes"? Also, Bush said Iraq didn't HAVE them. He didn't add in "but they were shipped to Syria".

Your point not only does not stand, it never had legs to begin with.

Try harder.

[gameragodzilla]

When bush "admitted" there were no wmds, that was before he listened to those tapes. He said there were no wmds in Iraq, which is true, because they're in Syria.

[gameragodzilla]

No, bush said that there were no wmds in Iraq. He wanted saddam's tapes released, but the tapes were essentially buried by the media. And you have yet to specify the "everything else" that are supposedly on your side. You cite the ISG. I shot that down. You cited Bush himself. He listened to the tapes. Those are the only 2 sources and I shot 'em both down w/o labelling then liars, meaning that none of your sources contradict mine. My point still stands.

[AntonBatey]

It is more than that. President Bush admitted that they were incorrect about finding WMDs, and doesn’t buy into the Syrian conspiracy theory. So you have one General who wasn’t even in command at the time, and I have……..well, everything else, including even President Bush, ironically.

[gameragodzilla]

And this "conspiracy theory" doesn't directly contradict official findings. I can't believe I have to keep repeating this, but the ISG (which wrote the official report) were UNABLE TO RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY! Thus, evidence points toward the transfer taking place. I have presented my proof. If you think it isn't enough, oh well. Now go get proof otherwise.

[gameragodzilla]

And frankly, the only rebuttal you gave me against my sources is "they lie". Ok, so give me proof of that. These aren't low level guys repeating rumors. These are actual intelligence agents and even an Iraqi general. I'd say that they have mire credibility than Hussein being questioned by NATO officials (do you really answer yes if the police ask if you committed a crime?).
