BUSH said; Hussein could REMAIN IN POWER....IF he DISARMS.

[LynnTheDem]

BUSH:

We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have.
-bush Radio Address 10/5/2002

And my message to Saddam Hussein is that, for the sake of peace, for the sake of freedom, you must disarm like you said you would do.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/11/20021103-3.html

It's over, we're through negotiations, there's no more time. The man must disarm. He said he would disarm, he now must disarm. And, you know, this kind of deception and delay -- all that is over with. The country is committed to making the world more peaceful by disarming Saddam Hussein, it's just as simple as that.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/11/20021112-3.html

First of all, you know, I'm hopeful we won't have to go war, and let's leave it at that…Until Saddam Hussein makes up his mind to disarm -- see, it's his choice to make.

...And therefore, he must disarm voluntarily, I hope he does. All right, let's go get a coffee

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030102-2.html

What I have in mind for Saddam Hussein is to disarm. The United Nations spoke with one voice. We said, we expect Saddam Hussein, for the sake of peace, to disarm. That's the question: Is Saddam Hussein disarming? … Time is running out on Saddam Hussein. He must disarm.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030114-5.html

He's a dangerous, dangerous man with dangerous, dangerous weapons. And that's why the world came together at the United Nations Security Council and said, Mr. Saddam Hussein must disarm. The message was as clear as can possibly be delivered -- Mr. Saddam Hussein must disarm.

My hope is that Saddam Hussein will disarm voluntarily; that's my hope. I take seriously the commitment of any troop into combat. I desire peace. But in the name of peace, in the name of securing our future, if Saddam Hussein will not disarm, the United States of America and friends of freedom will disarm Saddam Hussein.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030122-9.html

I'm convinced that this still can be done peacefully. I certainly hope so. The idea of committing troops is my last option, not my first. I understand the terrible price of war. I understand what it means to put somebody into combat. I know what it means to hug mothers and wives.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030129-2.html

But BUSH REFUSED to give the UN the 90 days they needed to finish their weapons hunt.

bush official liar McClellan:

Saddam Hussein needs to cooperate and he needs to comply. And he needs to move to disarm. We are very serious about this. I think that's very clear. And the international community is speaking with one voice. The United States is speaking with one voice. And this is about disarmament and he better not start playing games.

bush official liar Fleischer;

If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again misleading the world.

Rice and Powell Say that a Disarmed Saddam Could Stay in Power

http://www.intelmessages.org/Messages/National_Security/wwwboard/messages/2159.html

Tony bLiar:

If military action proves necessary, it will be to uphold the authority of the UN and to ensure Saddam is disarmed of his weapons of mass destruction, not to overthrow him. It is why, detestable as I find his regime, he could stay in power if he disarms peacefully.

SOMEONE was LYING alright. But it was not Saddam Hussein.

[complain jane]

1. Doesn't it make you feel like you're in the twilight zone?

Say on!

[democracyindanger]

2. The demand changed

By Spring 2003, the demand wasn't disarmament. Bush was demanding that Hussein leave Iraq.

[LynnTheDem]

4. Yes. So much for caring about "justice", huh. Hussein can remain FREE

if he leaves Iraq so bushCartel can walk in & take over nice & quietly.

Coming & going, bush & the rightwingnut bushbots are IMMORAL LYING WAR CRIMINALS.

Period.

[KoKo]

7. Yes...and one wonders if Saddam's defense lawyers are noting this...

However, we are told that Saddam still had "..intent" and after all he "allegedly" tried to murder Poppy Bush and he made us got to war BEFORE because he was a bad man who had WMD then..and since he had them before..we just knew he had to have them when we invaded. After all Saddam was a liar, who gassed millions of people with the WMD WE GAVE HIM.

But, we don't want to talk about that. The American People understand this because we've told them over and over and over and over....

The American People know WE (the Bushies) would NOT lie to them...we just have certain irregularities and glitches in our communications with them. But, they understand that Freedom, Democracy and Fair Elections are what we are about. After all the American People have given us a MANDATE Twice! :nuke:

6. But Clinton also said..

blah blah blah.. You know that's coming soon from BushCo.

There is no excuse for what Bush did. He lied and he killed hundreds of thousands of innocents because he gets off on it. That makes him an evil man.. Much more so than Saddam.

[madinmaryland]

8. Since Saddam did disarm, does that mean,

that he should be re-installed? No, just that there was a collosal error in judgement from the White House and the threat (or lack thereof) that existing.

[nottabubba]

9. This solves 3 problems

1) We've got an exit stratery now

2) Elections problems solved, Saddam is the boss again

3) We don't have to try Saddam, so no exposure to the Bushes in court

10. I had forgotten about this

Thanks for the reminder!

:kick:

11. this is an excellent collection

great job! :toast:

[impeachthescoundrel]

12. And, you know, this kind of deception and delay -- all that is over with.

Dreaming for and waitingfor the day those words come back to haunt him
