Weapons of Mass Destruction?
The talks of Weapons of Mass Destruction has been a hot topic of late. The reason is because President Bush kicked some ass and took care of business! Mr. Bush not only did eliminated the Taliban out of Afghanistan, but liberated Iraq and got Saddam Hussein as well. The
economy is finally getting in on the upside after 9-11 and jobs
are on the rise once again, so why are the Democrats bitching?
What pisses me off the most, and it should piss you off too, is that they are calling "W" a liar about the WMD's. C'mon, how old do you think we are? Let's see who liars are? Let's take a look at what a great number of Democrat leaders expressed as facts about WMD's and Saddam Hussein: "One
way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop
weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is
our bottom line."
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is
clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons
of mass destruction program." "Iraq
is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal
here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest
security threat we face." "He
will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times
since 1983." "We
urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S.
Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate,
air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively
to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction
programs." "Saddam
Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction
technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made
a mockery of the weapons inspection process." "Hussein
has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction
and palaces for his cronies." "There
is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs.
Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue
apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues
to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit
missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten
the United States and our allies." "We
begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat
to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated
of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and
the means of delivering them." "We
know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons
throughout his country." "Iraq's
search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter
and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is
in power." "We
have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing
weapons of mass destruction." "The
last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident
that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological
weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up
his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports
indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." "I
will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority
to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe
that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is
a real and grave threat to our security."
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively
to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within
the next five years . We also should remember we have always underestimated
the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years,
every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and
destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity.
This he has refused to do" "In
the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show
that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological
weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.
He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including
al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam
Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and
chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that
Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
"Without
question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous
dictator, leading an oppressive regime . He presents a particularly
grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation
... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued
deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction .. So
the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real
...." My
question now is: Do I have to continue my argument? I didn't think so!!! Mr. Bush had the balls, the Democrats did not to get the job done. That's a fact!!!
