Back to the Big Lie are we now? Well I see it's just one of the Big Lies.....
The Gulf War Cease Fire Agreement - AKA - UN Resolution #687, was a ZERO Tolerance policy. That meant Saddam had to;
1) Completely eliminate every aspect of his WMD PROGRAMS (not just "stockpiles"). This included provisions for the complete destruction of all offensive weapons. This had to be done in a completely verifiable manner to UN Inspectors.
2) Saddam had to completely eliminate every tie to terrorists (internal & external).
3) Saddam had to completely halt his crimes against humanity.
4) Saddam had to make full reparations to Kuwait, ET AL.
Now this was the short & sweet version. There were absolutely no provisions that allowed any deviation from each explicit requirement. It meant 100%, unconditional compliance. Every single UN Resolution, including Resolution 1441 was irrevocably tied to #687.
Saddam spent more than 12 years in utter defiance of every one of the above requirements before Bush's so-called "rush to war". You know, where "Bush lied & misled" America into a "unilateral", "illegal" war to take over their oil for his Big Oil cronies?
Actually that is THE BIG LIE perpetrated by the DNC, Kerry & his surrogates, plus the liberal media & you......
"Stockpiles" of WMD's weren't necessary to justify the removal of Saddam as we both know. The difference between you & I is that you are willing to lie & distort for political reasons.
the real news in the report of Iraq Survey Group head Charles Duelfer..... makes it plain that George W. Bush had good reason to go to war in Iraq and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.... http://dev.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=20623841
Kay stated, "I must say I actually think Iraq - what we learned during the inspections - made Iraq a more dangerous place potentially than in fact we thought it was even before the war"..... http://dev.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=19735063
How long do you let... material breach, deception and denial go on before you risk with the kind of surprise that I could never fully and 100 percent predict? - Transcript of Tenet address on WMD INTELLIGENCE http://dev.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=19774372
Leaked Iraqi intelligence documents connect Saddam Hussein to prominent terror leaders, including Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Osama bin Laden. Only question is, when will John Kerry change his stump speech? http://dev.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=20644865
Here's 9/11 Commission Chair Thomas Kean during the press conference for the release of the commission'a final report today: There is "no question in our minds that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Queda." http://dev.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=20339152
It is interesting that many who criticize Bush for not "connecting the dots" before Sept. 11 are also criticizing those who connect the dots on Iraq-Al Qaeda ties
