Rep. Henry A. Waxman - A must have link for DUers!


http://www.house.gov/reform/min/features/iraq_on_the_record/
Rep. Henry A. Waxman

On March 19, 2003, U.S. forces began military operations in Iraq. Addressing the nation about the purpose of the war on the day the bombing began, President Bush stated: “The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder.”

One year later, many doubts have been raised regarding the Administration’s assertions about the threat posed by Iraq. Prior to the war in Iraq, the President and his advisors repeatedly claimed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that jeopardized the security of the United States. The failure to discover these weapons after the war has led to questions about whether the President and his advisors were candid in describing Iraq’s threat.

the DATABASE

This database identifies 237 specific misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq made by these five officials in 125 public appearances in the time leading up to and after the commencement of hostilities in Iraq. The search options on the left can be used to find statements by any combination of speaker, subject, keyword, or date.

8. And the hits keep coming...
In a baseball metaphor, Waxmax is on a hitting streak; singles, stand-up-doubles, and a couple of triples. Problem is Henry has a great stick but there is no strength following him in the lineup and he never gets to score. I'd like to see some other players stand up to the plate and start hitting the damn ball! Wake up team! Hey, what's the manager doing?
