Bush on Iraq/wmd warpath LONG before 9/11. (Feb 2000)

Every time you hear someone in the White House use "the world changed after 9/11" as an excuse for why we needed to invade Iraq, remember this video.

February 2000, THE VERY BEGINNING Of Bush's Presidential campaign, he was already threatening the invasion of Iraq over "Weapons of Mass Destruction"... furthering a point made in his 1999 autobiography.

Stop the lies Obamabots.. CLINTON pushed the WMD/remove Saddam from power line throughout the 90s.

@larryclone Yes, Clinton believed the false "intelligence" being fed to him by PNAC and former Bush-41 Administration officials for years. But following two airstrikes on Saddam's supposed WMD factories... one in late '98 and another in Feb '99... turned up nothing, it was determined Saddam actually had no WMD's and had been disarmed. It wasn't until Dubya declared himself a candidate in Feb 2000 (see my video) that the claim of Saddam having WMD's came up again. He didn't get that from Clinton.

Fact: WTC was bombed 1993 by Ramzi Youseff who was captured in Pakistan 1995, arrested, tried and convicted in NYC.

Fact: Philippine police raided apartment of Ramzi Youseff in Manila before his capture and found in his laptop plans to hijack commercial airliners and fly them into US targets including govt bldgs and the WTC. FBI received this info from the Philippine police.

I bet many Americans forget this piece of US history and think 9/11 was a "surprise attack"

Wow, you're certainly on a warpath. You know that old saying, "You don't know what you have till its gone." It applies here too. But I guess it should be China, they only treat their own people like shit.

@Oddballmarine90 Firstly your question is childish and simplistic. You seem to be assuming that countries should compete to be "superpowers" like a little boys game of top trummps. Secondly whichever country or business or religion or institution is powerful needs regulating because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Thirdly when was the last time China bombed a country? So if we're playing your game...I'll say china.

@bsjunior

Who would u rather see as the number 1 superpower, China or the U.S.?

@Masterdebater747 Uh, no. 2000 was an election year. He wasn't elected until November and wasn't inaugurated until January of 2001. Clinton was still President in 2000.

@jacobew2000 You're just spouting the official propaganda. If I want to hear the bull crap you're coming up with, all I need to do is turn on FOX news. How about reading some in depth history books. Have you ever heard of something called PERSPECTIVE? Did Iraq invade U.S? Did Afghanistan Invade U.S? Did Vietnam invade U.S? Did Cuba invade U.S? Did Korea invade U.S? Did El Salvador invade U.S? U.S is the BAD GUY, understand it, accept it, start changing it.
