"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."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), October 10, 2002
"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."

Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."

"Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the
United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf
region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its
international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess
and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability,
actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and
harboring terrorist organizations."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) February 5, 2003
"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..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), January 23. 2003
No comment on the truth of that rumor.... except that it WOULD, at
least, be of some level of "service" to the men she disparaged.

You keep posting the same thing over and over. Do you have a point or
is cut and paste the best you can do?
Oh i thought you were talking about the bIll Clinton that planned a sneak
attack on Iraq and bombing campaign for many days without UN approval or
GASP , even the French.
Transcript: President Clinton explains Iraq strike
CLINTON: Good evening.
Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and
security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission
is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and
its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
And so we had to act and act now.
Let me explain why.
First, without a strong inspection system, Iraq would be free to retain and
begin to rebuild its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs in
months, not years
If we had delayed for even a matter of days from Chairman Butler's report,
we would have given Saddam more time to disperse his forces and protect his
weapons.
And mark my words, he will develop weapons of mass destruction. He will
deploy them, and he will use them.

Still can't answer the above question, can you?
No, I was talking about the Bill (or Bubba) Clinton YOU were talking
about who avoided serving in Viet Nam - since he opposed that war......
whereas Dick Cheney, who supported the war, STILL avoided (5 differments
including getting his wife pregnant on schedulej) serving since he had
"other priorities"......

Yeah, Clinton should have at least flown on one of his bombing attacks on
Iraq since he loathes the military so much.
How many bombing runs has bush flown on?
You're an idiot.
And you could have told the truth at least ONCE.... since you value it
SO much.

Oh, i thought you were talking about the Clinton that defended Bush on teh
Iraq war.
Clinton defends Bush on war in Iraq
Larry Elder (back to web version)
July 31, 2003
President George W. Bush, under siege for "misleading" the country into war
against Iraq, received some help from an unusual source -- former President
Bill Clinton.
"When I left office, there was a substantial amount of biological and
chemical material unaccounted for . . . it is incontestable that on the day
I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks . . . " said Clinton
recently on "Larry King Live." Also, Clinton said he never found out whether
a U.S.-British bombing campaign he ordered in 1998 ended Saddam's stockpiles
of or his capability of producing chemical and biological weapons. "We might
have gotten it all, we might have gotten half of it, we might have gotten
none of it. But we didn't know," said Clinton.
Presidential contender Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., actually suggested
impeachment of the president over Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech
reference about an Iraqi-Africa uranium connection. But Clinton said, " . .
. The White House said . . . that on balance they probably shouldn't have
put that comment in the speech. What happened, often happens. There was a
disagreement between British intelligence and American intelligence. The
president said it was British intelligence that said it. . . . British
intelligence still maintain that they think the nuclear story was true. I
don't know what was true, what was false. . . . Here's what happens: every
day the president gets a daily brief from the CIA. And then, if it's some
important issue -- and believe me, you know, anything having to do with
chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons became much more important to
everybody in the White House after September the 11th -- then they probably
told the president, certainly Condoleezza Rice, that this is what the
British intelligence thought."
About the gravity of the president's "error" -- never mind that the British
still stand by the Africa/uranium assertion -- Clinton said, "You know,
everybody makes mistakes when they are president. I mean, you can't make as
many calls as you have to without messing up once in a while. The thing we
ought to be focused on is what is the right thing to do right now."
Why does Clinton, a consistent and persistent critic of this administration,
suddenly leap to Bush's defense? After all, polls show Bush's popularity
coming down from the post-major-Iraqi-war-operations peak. And the White
House appears off-balance in their defense of Bush's speech reference to
Iraqi attempts at purchasing uranium in Africa. Furthermore, Americans quite
understandably show concern over the almost daily headlines of anti-American
Iraqis ambushing soldiers.
Clinton's motives? Check out the just-released Joint Congressional Committee
report on 9-11. Under Clinton's watch, the Committee reports how
intelligence apparatus failed to connect the dots. Yes, lapses occurred
under the current president, but Clinton missed numerous opportunities to
focus on the growing terror threat, including opportunities to get Osama bin
Laden. Clinton knows that constant browbeating over the alleged lack of
Iraqi "imminence" and of Bush's "security failures" serves only to make
Clinton's presidency look bad. If anything, the "imminent threat" loomed
during Clinton's administration, and he knows he took insufficient action to
quell it.
Meanwhile, the Bush anti-war critics either support or sit silently as Bush
ponders the use of our military to stop civil war bloodshed in Liberia -- a
humanitarian mission. But does the existence of Iraqi shallow graves,
torture chambers, and executions translate into support, if belated, for the
war against Iraq?
Human Rights Watch says, "The Arab Ba'ath Socialist Party has been in power
in Iraq since 1968. Under the leadership of President Saddam Hussein, who
seized power in 1979, the Iraqi government has committed a vast number of
crimes against the Iraqi people and others, using terror through various
levels of police, military, and intelligence agencies to control and
intimidate large segments of the Iraqi population. Two Iraqi groups in
particular have suffered horrific abuses -- the Kurds in the north, and
Shi'a populations in the south. Two decades of oppression against Iraq's
Kurds and Kurdish resistance culminated in 1988 with a genocidal campaign,
and the use of chemical weapons, against Kurdish civilians, resulting in
over 100,000 deaths. . . . Saddam Hussein and others . . . are responsible
for a vast number of crimes that constitute genocide, war crimes, and crimes
against humanity. The victims of such crimes include up to 290,000 persons
who have been 'disappeared' since the late 1970s, many of whom are believed
to have been killed."
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan opposed the war in Iraq, despite the
U.S.'s national security concerns. Back then, Annan said, "My position has
always been very clear, that I think it would be unwise to attack Iraq,
given the current circumstances of what's happening in the Middle East." Yet
Annan now demands that the U.S. send troops to Liberia, "I think we can
really salvage the situation if troops were to be deployed urgently and
promptly."
Maybe Annan might benefit from a chat with former President Clinton.

So you're saying that everyone I listed below is a coward?
Everyone in the Bush administration other then Rumsfeld?
And all of the Republican leadership in the House and the Senate are
cowards?
I'm surprised to see you admit that.

GILLETTE'S PRINCIPLE: "If you want to make people angry, lie. If you want to
make them absolutely livid with rage, tell the truth."

One would think a military exert like you would know that leaving the
country had no effect on your draft status.
Remember under right wing logic Clinton who openly opposed the war
was a draft dodger,Kerry who served admirably and later opposed the war
is a traitor,Cleland is a crybaby and McCain was brainwashed but all the
war wimps who supported the war as long as others did the fighting were
patriots.

%%%% Remember I served and you did a Cheney.
Randi Rhodes served and speaks of her service often. I don't know
about the rest of the list but please list the wars that they advocated
for and were eligible to serve in but refused to serve. That is point.
Supposedly on the set of the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, John Wayne
felt harrassed since he avoided service in WWII whereas both John Ford
and Jimmy Stewart served.

Looks like Clinton accomplished his goals and your buddy Bush got over
2,200 of our troops killed for nothing. Way to go.
They're not the ones supporting a war based on lies - unlike chickenhawks
like you.
