Yet another question....
Ok, in my ongoing debate with various Rep's, I am at another standstill. Here is the latest post:

"<b>Sen Reid, you know the one who threw the temper tantrum for the media, yeah that one. Well...

from a lib website
In March 2003, after Iraq allowed United Nations inspectors to return and it was becoming apparent that there were no WMDs to be found, President Bush decided to invade Iraq anyway. Reid rushed to the president’s support, claiming that--despite its clear violation of the United Nations Charter--the invasion was “lawful” and that he “commends and supports the efforts and leadership of the President.”

For example, Reid justified his support of the U.S. invasion of Iraq by echoing the administration’s claims that “this nation would be justified in making war to enforce the terms we imposed on Iraq in 1991” since Iraq promised “the world it would not engage in further aggression and it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction. It has refused to take those steps. That refusal constitutes a breach of the armistice which renders it void and justifies resumption of the armed conflict.”

"Saddam Hussein was a murderer, a thief and a tyrant. His capture is a major victory for our brave U.S. troops, particularly the 4th Infantry Division and the Special Operations Forces that carried out this mission. It is also especially important for the Iraqi people, who now know that the fallen dictator will not be coming back to power and that he will finally be held accountable for his thousands of crimes and many years of brutality.

"As I said yesterday in a radio address to the nation, removing Saddam Hussein from power was critically important. His capture today is equally important. I hope it will send a strong signal to the remaining terrorists and insurgents operating in Iraq that their days are short in number.

"As the president said earlier today, Saddam's capture does not mean the end of violence in Iraq, or an end to the threat to American troops. But today is a major step forward, and all Americans can take great pride in the bravery and professionalism that our military forces continue to display."

And of course, again, gore had just recently moved out yet he was stating that he knew things.

in 2002 Al Gore declared that Saddam Hussein "has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."

This is why the Clinton National Security Council staffer Kenneth Pollack has written, "The U.S. Intelligence Community's belief toward the end of the Clinton administration that Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program and was close to acquiring nuclear weapons."

So who was misleading us?</b>"

Ok.....any takers??
