Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001

"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." - Sen.

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), Jan. 23. 2003

SO NOW EVERY ONE OF THESE SAME DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED -- THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND HE TOOK US TO WAR UNNECESSARILY!
Send this to everybody you know..The media and networks won't do it. Why do you suppose that is?

But it was President Bush who lied, misled etc., (insert ignorant liberal CYA screed here).

What these individuals cannot deny is that at the exact same time, with the exact same information, they came to the exact same conclusion as the President: Saddam was a threat, and he had WMDs. Their words prove it.

The difference is that the President had to act, and had to do so assuming the worst case scenario after 9/11. He couldn't sit around and bloviate like Kerry, and wait until after we were attacked again to finally make a decision.

Kerry complains, smears and insults the President, our country and our troops (sound familiar?) with the advantage of hindsight, which is easy, and requires no backbone. Unfortunately for him, the hindsight on September 12, 2001, said that the Islamofascists had attacked us, and would try again. The hindsight went all the way back to the first WTC attack. That hindsight said Hussein had WMDs, and was willing to use them. That hindsight showed that an American president could not continue the Clinton policies of appeasement, miltary downsizing, cuts to our intelligence agencies and half hearted ineffetual "retaliation" of our enemies. The Islamofascists only respect strength, not weakness. bin Laden said as much to his followers, calling us a "paper tiger."

The President honored his oath to protect the country as best he was able, and that shows by the total lack of attacks in this country after 9/11.

If Kerry had been president, bin Laden would still be living the high life in Afghanistan, the Taliban would still be repressing people, and Saddam would still have his WMDs, and all his now-so-important high explosives to sell to terrorists or use himself.

The dems will go with the wind. The polls said that the people were concerned about Saddam's WMD at that time. Now, fast forward to this election cycle where they are trying to get re-elected or are backing their candidate. They are all pandering to their base now. Dean showed them that their base was the far left, anti war, lunatic fringe and that's who they are courting. The Dem base used to be people of Zell Miller's ilk. No more! Now it's the anti war, gay rights, social welfare, anti capitalist, union, and trial lawyer loving crowd.
