...So lemme get this straight, you're not happy that Iraq didn't have weapons that could have killed thousands of our troops, been passed on to terrorists, just because if they did exist, you're reasoning would be proven correct?

The Kerry campaign needs to run that quote HARD... It's very telling, Bush WANTED Saddam to have possed deadly weapons when he sent our troops over there.

1. Gee, Bobblehead...

...just imagine how the families of the dead soldiers feel.

[teach1st]

2. It's a telling slip...

But I think Bush knew all along there weren't WMDs. I mean, anybody with half a brain and access to the intell...

Oh. Maybe you're right.

[grasswire]

3. yeah........

....that bothered me, too.

I don't believe it, for one thing. I'm sure they KNEW there were no WMD.

He really blew it with that comment.

12. That comedy routine he performed in the Oval Office

where he was looking under the furniture but still couldn't find the "weapons" clinched it. They knew all along and it was nothing but a pretext. Murderers.

13. didn't seem to bother him enough

when those photos of him "searching" his office for WMD's were shown

seems to me he found it funny

4. It's even worse when they tell the truth, huh?

[SoCalDemocrat]

5. He slips like this all the time

Same as the Saddam vs. Bin Laden slip in last weeks' debate.

[GreenArrow]

6. but, but, but

he and his team KNEW that there were weapons. There was no shadow of a doubt; their knowledge was complete and unequivocal.

Kerry's team should run that quote hard.

7. Maybe if he just SCREAMS loud enough

that "SADDAM WAS A TERRIBLE MAN AND WE ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM", he can win over a few Democrats from this board.


(Maybe not.)

8. He really said ,there WASN'T weapons"

He never fails to amaze.

9. bushCartel KNEW there was little or no "WMD"

First, "WMD" are at this time only nukes, and bush KNEW Iraq didn't have nukes. Yes, freepers, HE KNEW.

Otherwise admit your boy is THE STUPIDEST MAN ALIVE; he promised the IAEA he would order Iraq's nuclear facilities secured IMMEDIATELY...and then didn't bother. It took the IAEA GOING PUBLIC before bush, SIX WEEKS AFTER BAGHDAD FELL, gave the military orders to secure the facilities.

How STUPID must you be to NOT order the nuclear facilities of a nation you're invading be secured????!!! Duhhh he FORGOT???

IMAGINE if Iraq had had nukes...and our entire military was slaughtered coz bush didn't bother ordering the nuke facilities secured.

HELL YEAH he KNEW they didn't have nukes.

He KNEW they didn't have much, if anything, in bio or chemical, too.

WHY do the freeping rightwingnuts think THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD SAID NO???

WHY do the freeping rightwingnuts think NOT ONE "COALITION" NATION had a population that was pro-war???

Do the freeping rightwingnuts think 98% of the entire world were just "SADDAM-LOVERS"???

HELLO freeping stupid rightwingnuts; WE TOLD YOU THERE WAS NO WMD. WE TOLD YOU THERE WAS NO THREAT. Assholes.

10. Palast was on with Mike Webb on KIRO in Seattle hammering

this point... So I suspect his next column will have something about this quote.

11. This was such a major

blunder by shrub this is going to sew it up for Kerry.
