Dr. Rice: "The WHOLE WORLD thought Saddam had WMD's"

[Bluebear]

There was no doubt going into the war that successive administrations, the United Nations, intelligence services around the world, knew that Saddam Hussein had used weapons of mass destruction, that he had them, that he continued to pursue them.

- Dr. Condoleezza Rice, September 28, 2003

Because we acted in Iraq, Saddam Hussein will never again use weapons of mass destruction against his people or his neighbors.

- Dr. Condoleezza Rice, April 8, 2004


A lot of the intelligence was from Great Britain, from British sources. And the entire world thought that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.

- Dr. Condoleezza Rice, June 14, 2005

The most important point about Iraq is that it was time to deal with Saddam Hussein and to create conditions in this very important region, this very volatile region, that would help bring about a different kind of Middle East so that the United States can be secure. The Middle East came home to us on September 11 in ways that we never expected; and without change in this region, we're going to continue to fight terrorists for a very, very long time.

- Dr. Condoleezza Rice, June 19, 2005

1. When was that photo taken? She looks pretty damned desperate.

[Bluebear]

2. File photo

She really contorts that puss when she wants to make her point! That's when the demure "Condi" becomes (low brass notes) DOCTOR RICE!

:grr:

:nuke:

[ConfuZed]

9. That a really unflattering photo

[i miss america]

41. Have you ever seen a good one of her? I most certainly haven't

[UdoKier]

42. Yep - she looks pretty berzerk.

Is it any wonder she's still childless?

Thank goodness...

[Erika]

3. God, she's an evil sick joke

The only people who thought he had WMD's was Blair and the wimp Americans who were scared by this administration's false intelligence.
She's an embarrassment to women and the Black community. But, she probably has one fantastic profitable stock portfolio.

[spindoctor]

4. Iraq - 9/11, Iraq - 9/11, Iraq - 9/11, Iraq - 9/11

:eyes:

[lumpy]

5. Rice is delusional

to think that the whole world thought Saddam had WMDs. She isn't as clever as her bosses would like to think.

[cthrumatrix]

45. she ONLY needs a brain dead ...believe anything media -- like ours

[oblivious]

6. LIAR! Neither the weapons inspectors or the IAEA found any evidence.

Read the reports instead of your own propaganda.

Such people are capable of anything. ANYTHING.

[jobycom]

7. What the hell is her doctorate in? Self-delusion? Or prevarication?

Jesus, we had, what, 30K members before the invasion and every damned one of us could prove there weren't WMDs.

This is the same woman who called Bush her husband before a live audience. She lives in a world completely separate from the one we commonly call real.

[Oversea Visitor]

8. Speak for yourself

You dumb bitch. We all know after so many years after the Gulf War the inspection team came out with a big zero.

What do you call those napalm that you use in Iraq the amount of Depleted Uranium drop in Iraq. FIRECRACKERS..... oops its only rice for the hungry.

[friesianrider]

10. And she "never dreamed" a plane might be...

hijacked and flown into an important US building.

I mean, who could have when we had a war to plan?

[oasis]

11. Give up Condi, the whole world is on to you. Even the red staters are

beginning to wake up.

[LynnTheDem]

12. No, that's not true. But what IS true is the whole world OPPOSED

bush's war on Iraq.

[LynnTheDem]

13. But Condi...YOU didn't believe Saddam had WMD. YOU SAID he had none.

On 29 July 2001, Condoleezza Rice appeared on CNN Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer.

Guest host John King asks her about the sanctions against Iraq. She replies:

"But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let's remember that his country is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."

[Supersedeas]

40. her memory has been erased as the new Manchurian Candidate

[LynnTheDem]

14. But Condi...POWELL didn't believe it. POWELL said he had none!

Press conference on 24 February 2001 during Powell's visit to Cairo, Egypt;

"We should constantly be reviewing our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they have worked.He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraq..."

15 May 2001, Powell testified before the Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee;

"The Iraqi regime militarily remains fairly weak. It doesn't have the capacity it had 10 or 12 years ago. It has been contained. And even though we have no doubt in our mind that the Iraqi regime is pursuing programs to develop weapons of mass destruction -- chemical, biological and nuclear -- I think the best intelligence estimates suggest that they have not been terribly successful."

G.w. bush

Or are you insinuating she's Kindasleezy?

:D

[madeline_con]

27. I never see her

in the company of a mayan, that's all.

:shrug:

[LynnTheDem]

16. But Condi...the MAJORITY of AMERICANS didn't believe it!

Poll: Bush hasn't made case for Iraq war

More than two-thirds of Americans believe the Bush administration has failed to make its case that a war against Iraq is justified.

[madeline_con]

18. Those guys don't read

any of this. They get their news "filtered" by the "right people".

[Disturbed]

20. Ms Rice was in that meeting ...

DMS talks about along with Tenet. She knew then that there were no WMDs, lied and lied all along and is lying now. She is not delusional. She is a blatant liar.

[madeline_con]

28. I don't know hich is worse.

Someone who does dangerous things because they don't know any better, or someone who does dangerous things because they can!

[Bluebear]

32. Perzactly.

[LynnTheDem]

25. Well yeah but you'd think Condi would remember her OWN words.

LOL!

I got a list a mile long of the world NOT believing Iraq had any "WMD" or anything in any way significant other than old useless crap good for salad dressing.

Actually anyone with common sense shoulda known Iraq had no "WMD". First, "WMD" are nukes, and the IAEA most certainly DID say before bush's war that Iraq had no nukes.

As for chemicals and bios, they have very short shelf lives (3 & 5 years) for the GOOD stuff. And Iraq never had the good stuff.

And then we have the UN weapons team that said Iraq was "95% disarmed" when they were ordered out of Iraq by Richard Butler in '98, and no "WMD" had been found by the teams since the early 1990s.

And then there's bush & Co's fave "IRAQ HAS "WMD"!!!" proof; Saddam Hussein's son-in-law. The one bush & Co quoted over & over again about all the "WMD" Hussein had.

The same one bush & Co NOT ONCE bothered to mention had also, in his same testimony, said Hussein had ordered ALL "WMD" DESTROYED in 1991, and that all "WMD" had in fact been so destroyed.

Now WHY did bush & Co forget to mention THAT part of his testimony?

Oh and then bushCo's main "proof" of "WMD"; curveball. Chalabi's aide's nephew, the drunken "fabricator". The one the CIA warned bush about as being unreliable and a drunk and a liar. The one Germany warned bush about as being unreliable and a drunk and a liar.

Gee, not even BUSH believed Iraq had any "WMD".

Or was his total lack of giving a shit about ordering UN-monitored and secured weapons and dual-use depots being secured until months after his invasion and his lack made public just due to bush's stupidity?

PULLEEEEEEEEEZE!

Ya go invade a country, saying it's coz they got "WMD" pointed at America and were trying to buy yellowcake, and then ya don't bother ordering THE YELLOWCAKE secured that the UN had secured & monitored for years in Iraq???!

PULLEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!! Not even BUSH is THAT stupid. SHEEESH even I give him that much credit for brains! HE KNEW there was no "WMD" before he attacked Iraq.

[cynatnite]

21. Shit, Condi, you and your insane boss lied!

They believed you because NORMAL people don't lie about stuff like that so they can go war-monger on another country. :eyes:

[funflower]

22. Anybody got those clips from summer of 2001 when she said Saddam

was no big deal?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

38. Ka-ching!

/www.thememoryhole.org/war/powell-no-wmd.htm
In her own words: "We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."

Condi is a lying piece of phlegm

[funflower]

53. Ah. The memory hole. When are they going to censor that site?

[funflower]

23. Anybody got those clips from summer of 2001 when she said Saddam

was no big deal?

[funflower]

24. Anybody got those clips from summer of 2001 when she said Saddam

was no big deal?

[tinrobot]

26. Not this part of the world....

The little house where I live...

[ngGale]

29. And the right keeps repeating that lie ...

I'm tired of hearing it. You know Condi, when you lie and people die - they really start to see you for what you are. :evilgrin:

[Oversea Visitor]

30. Its is time

to pull out HER COMFIRMATION HEARING FOOTAGE GRILLING BY SENATOR BARBARA BOXERS AND OTHERS SENATORS. OH mine how she lie that little lice we known as rice.

[sandnsea]

31. June 19

The most important point.... to create conditions in this very important region, this very volatile region, that would help bring about a different kind of Middle East...

And there you have it. The MOST IMPORTANT point is NOT WMD, but changing the Middle East. The Bush Doctrine, which was the plan for our national security strategy before 9/11. The cause of every international problem since 2001.

[warrens]

33. NO WE FUCKING DIDN'T

AND WE SAID SO, VERY, VERY LOUDLY. You lying sack of shit.

[cthrumatrix]

34. I say what you say....

[Dr Fate]

35. Liar.

n/t

[Beetwasher]

36. BULLFUCKINGSHIT!!!!!!!!! ONLY Because of YOUR FUCKING PROPOGANDA

Did anyone think he had any WMD's.

[cthrumatrix]

39. well..... Bush thought SH had "rice cakes".... keeping him slim

[Rex]

37. She's got cat scratch fever!

Can't stop telling those lies~!

[Deja Q]

43. You mean, she's a doctor? Of what?

Spelling :dunce:

[ComerPerro]

44. If anyone thought Saddam had WMD, it was because they trusted Bush

And his administration.

But, not to worry.

Thanks to Bush's constant lies, and the fact that he is a proven liar now that no WMD have been found, its a mistake they won't be making again.

[seabeyond]

46. "The WHOLE WORLD thought ...but, the whole world didnt think he

was a threat

that is the crux of the matter

people thought he may have the old wmd's from reagan selling him those exact weapons. but the world told bushco over and over, saddam is not a threat

and we didnt go to war over the wmd's. we went because they were an immenent threat to us, and tubes, drones and mushroom clouds. all of that was the "LIE"

[mopaul]

47. condi, the whole world thinks you're a b---h too

[lpbk2713]

48. Sorry Doc, but you're full of shit.

The oldest game in the repugger strategery handbook......

"Tell a lie loud enough and often enough and soon people will start believing it."

[cthrumatrix]

49. she's past the point of trying to "connect her last statements"

the media never holds her to a damn thing

[Fire Walk With Me]

50. I don't have a doctorate and I knew there were no WMD.

Am I smarter than a Doctor? No, because the Doctor and friends now control the second-largest supply of oil on the planet and can rake it in. I also don't have an oil tanker named after me. Oil.

[flordehinojos]

51. WOW!

isn't that the face of tearful desperation?!!!!!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

52. The whole world except me

and most of my friends here at DU. And the UN Weapons Inspectors. And Scott Ritter. And the Israelis (who would have done something had they believed Saddam was armed in that fashion). And on and on and on........
They are really back pedaling now 'cause they know they've been caught. "

54. So what was with the "freedom fries"?

[deacon]

55. What an asinine statement. If Bush jumped off a cliff, she would follow

willingly

[cthrumatrix]

56. they take orders from the same group of people

[anarchy1999]

57. Just keep saying "IMPEACH FOR LIES!" Condi, save yourself. Step down,

Do it now, do it soon... just say it's for family and we'll all be okay, okay? NOT! You are a WAR CRIMINAL and you should be prosecuted as such! But we'll let you slide, just STEP DOWN, NOW!
