Whereas Dick and Liz Cheney are LIARS

<snip>
To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq .

Whereas in 1990 in response to Iraq's war of aggression against and illegal occupation of Kuwait, the United States forged a coalition of nations to liberate Kuwait and its people in order to defend the national security of the United States and enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions relating to Iraq ;

Whereas after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, Iraq entered into a United Nations sponsored cease-fire agreement pursuant to which Iraq unequivocally agreed, among other things, to eliminate its nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs and the means to deliver and develop them, and to end its support for international terrorism;

Whereas the efforts of international weapons inspectors, United States intelligence agencies, and Iraqi defectors led to the discovery that Iraq had large stockpiles of chemical weapons and a large scale biological weapons program, and that Iraq had an advanced nuclear weapons development program that was much closer to producing a nuclear weapon than intelligence reporting had previously indicated;

Whereas Iraq , in direct and flagrant violation of the cease-fire, attempted to thwart the efforts of weapons inspectors to identify and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and development capabilities, which finally resulted in the withdrawal of inspectors from Iraq on October 31, 1998;

Whereas in Public Law 105-235 (August 14, 1998), Congress concluded that Iraq's continuing weapons of mass destruction programs threatened vital United States interests and international peace and security, declared Iraq to be in 'material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations' and urged the President 'to take appropriate action, in accordance with the Constitution and relevant laws of the United States, to bring Iraq into compliance with its international obligations' ;

Whereas 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;

Whereas Iraq persists in violating resolution of the United Nations Security Council by continuing to engage in brutal repression of its civilian population thereby threatening international peace and security in the region, by refusing to release, repatriate, or account for non-Iraqi citizens wrongfully detained by Iraq , including an American serviceman, and by failing to return property wrongfully seized by Iraq from Kuwait;

Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people;

Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its continuing hostility toward, and willingness to attack, the United States, including by attempting in 1993 to assassinate former President Bush and by firing on many thousands of occasions on United States and Coalition Armed Forces engaged in enforcing the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council;

Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq ;

Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens;

Whereas the attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, underscored the gravity of the threat posed by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international terrorist organizations;

Whereas Iraq's demonstrated capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction, the risk that the current Iraqi regime will either employ those weapons to launch a surprise attack against the United States or its Armed Forces or provide them to international terrorists who would do so, and the extreme magnitude of harm that would result to the United States and its citizens from such an attack, combine to justify action by the United States to defend itself;

1. I just heard ol' Liz claim on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell program that

her father never claimed an association between Saddam and Al Quaeda! Andrea called her on that statement and said she would do some researching on the subject. Liz and Darth are quite the cool, calm liars, aren't they?

[malaise]

2. That's why I went digging for their claims

Amazing how they all have amnesia these days.

I can't wait for Tweety, Rachel, KO and John Stewart to play all the clips to help their memories. Andrea Mitchell is an Ahole. She knows Liz Cheney was lying big time.

[snappyturtle]

7. Yes, she knows but she can barely talk most of the time. I guess

the network is talking in her ear too much!

[fumsm]

4. I'll have to do some research.

What an asshole. I guess with all the makeup on her face, she missed the last eight years. Maybe MSNBC should spend their money more wisely and actually hire some talent. They are sure scrapping the bottom of the barrel on daytime tv.

5. Yeah.... "I'll do my homework and have you back""....Pfffft!

...and Mrs Greenspan calls herself a journalist!..when you you know exactly the lies that are going to be trotted out in front of you , how hard can it be to get the quotes from Daddy to refute them?

[spanone]

3. what troubles me, why does the media give them a forum?

last night on NBC, President Obama compared cable news to WWF.....i think he's right.

[malaise]

6. I don't think WWF even pretends that there's

any truth on their shows.
