How Bush Told The World He Knew Saddam Had No WMDs
It's so God-awful simple that one must marvel at the obtuseness of the press and the world that such a simple inference could be made. The accumulation of troops and supplies in Kuwait on the southern border of Iraq occupied several months before the March 2003 invasion. If Saddam had WMDs he most certainly would have used them in a preemptive strike, resulting in horrific casualties among the American military. George Bush would have been held personally responsible for exposing our soldiers to this threat without adequate protection. However, Mr. Bush knew that the troops were safe from physical harm and he was safe from political harm because Saddam had none of the weapons that he was alleged to have. The confidence Americans have been conditioned to have in our political leaders was shamefully exploited in a most egregious manner. The fact that Mr. Bush stays in office even after these inferences are confirmed by reliable testimony is further evidence of the sheep-like stupidity and cowardice of the American public and the members of Congress who could and should get behind impeachment proceedings.
