Condi just said that *everybody* believed there were WMD's

[johnnie]

Did you? I sure the fuck didn't.

[Solly Mack]

1. Condi's a war criminal. She has to keep lying

[marmar]

2. Umm, most people in your sorry ass administration didn't believe it...

They just didn't give a frog's fat ass. They were going to invade Iraq come whatever.

[Liberal Veteran]

3. No. I really didn't.

I did when the run-up first started, but by the time Colin Powell did his little dog and pony show at the UN, I was convinced that there weren't any WMD.

[AlCzervik]

4. i wish i had a dollar for every time they trot out that old chestnut.

i didn't believe it either and some of my friends were kind of pissed at me for questioning Bush, friends i didn't realize had an inner republican living within them. Since then i don't talk to one of them at all anymore but the other 2 said they were sorry.

[valerief]

5. Bet she can't name one living credible person. Just PNACers and

paid Congressional shills.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Not The Point

Nobody but us thought there was anything of a quantity worth doing something about.

[Xipe Totec]

7. Not me

I considered the sources and said,

BULLSHIT!

I also read the rebuttals from the UN, and the weapons inspectors.

I was clear then, and it is clear now, that the invasion of Iraq was pre-planned

and the WMD story was just a convenient excuse.

[SpiralHawk]

11. Not me. I almost always can identify PROPAGANDA

BushCo and the repulicons spew it all the time, using our tax dollars to pay for it.

[pinto]

8. Geez, they're repeating this tired line for the umpteenth time.

Memo to Condi: Yeah, you sold it once. It was wrong, your Administration was wrong, you know it and we know it. Come up with a new spin or start getting real. Thanks.

[seabeyond]

9. ...wmd's for '89 and useless and unusable. that is what EVERYBODY

that were PROBABLY in iraq. not the same as they lied to americans that he was manufacturing new ones and possibly giving to the terrorist along with nuclear bomb

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. Except for everyone who protested the Invasion of Iraq

but according to BushCo we were just a focus group and they don't listen to focus groups.

[TheFarseer]

12. oh really?!

Who the hell were all those people in the streets protesting - The Saddam Hussein fan club??? and more to the point: why were you testifying at the UN only a year before that Saddam had no offensive military capability, and Colin Powell was saying Saddam had no WMD's?

[BOSSHOG]

13. The wmd's in Iraq were removed on Bill Clinton's watch

while he was getting blow jobs. Is it no wonder why loveless, sexless, integrityless, honestyless republicans hate him?

[Justice Is Comin]

14. Yah that's why we had the Downing Street Memos.

You nuclear fabricating witch.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. Nope. Sorry. Not a word of it.

Condi, stop speaking for people who know you to be a liar and a shill.

[bluerum]

16. Condi over here - yoo hoo - Condi. I did not believe there were WMD's.

Wicked wretch.

[OwnedByFerrets]

17. Just more lies.

Many didnt, but they werent part of the plan.

[Canuckistanian]

18. Not me

I knew all about the aluminum tubes, the UAV, the Niger yellowcake and the forgeries BEFORE the war.

Plus, there was Scott Ritter, an expert, saying there were no WMDs.

There are no experts in the Bush administration.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Is she stuck on stupid? Or does she think the majority of us are?

I never believed that at all.

[whistle]

20. She is on a steady IV drip of White House Kool aid

[Berry Cool]

21. I guess this administration's response to being told they lied

will always be "I really resent that. You know, I really resent that."

Well, big deal! Most people DO resent being called on a lie! Is the person who calls them on it supposed to feel guilty?

I just love how they edited the tape right after she says that they thought Saddam had the weapons because "he used them." We never got to hear her explanation of HOW SOMEONE COULD HAVE USED SOMETHING HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE! :mad:

[NC_Nurse]

22. I sure didn't...

it was clear that they were bound and determined to invade Iraq NO MATTER WHAT the inspectors reported.

[ContraBass Black]

23. I wasn't fooled.

But nobody could have anticipated the breach of the levees.

[tuvor]

24. The FUCKING CIA didn't believe it, rice!

WHY THE CIA THINKS BUSH IS WRONG
The president says the US has to act now against Iraq. The trouble is, his own security services don't agree.

CIA IN BLOW TO BUSH ATTACK PLANS
The letter also comes at a time when the CIA is competing with the more hawkish Pentagon, which is also supplying the White House with intelligence on the Iraqi threat.

[Zorra]

25. I KNEW there weren't. Bu*h said there were, and Bu*h always lies.

2+2 still equals 4 for anyone but conservatives.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. With the republiCONS 2+2=5.

[femmocrat]

27. Absolutely not.

I actually believed that the weapons inspectors didn't find any! How naive was I?!

[Kierkegaard]

28. "Condi?

Make sure to bring open-toed shoes and light clothing.
It's hotter 'n shit down here.

Your lord and master,
Mephistopheles"

[MADem]

29. EVERYBODY, eh?

Is that 'everybody'(as in the high school version of EVERYBODY?):

Say, Scooter, EVERYBODY's going to the Sock Hop!!!

EVERYBODY hates cafeteria peas!!

EVERYBODY supports the high school basketball team!!!

She might want to meet up with the NOBODY crowd, as in:

NOBODY believes your lying ass, Condi!

[RobinA]

30. I Didn't

Not because I know anything about WMD, but because every WEAPONS INSPECTOR I ever saw quoted seemed to be quite skeptical. Plus, there were those tales about Cheneyites pressuring CIA analysts... Then there was the speech to the UN about the aluminum tubes being proof of nuclear intent that came days after it was mentioned in several media outlets that people who know about aluminum tubes said they were proof of nothing...

Plus, I still don't know what a weapon of mass destruction IS. I'm always skeptical when people tell me to be afraid of some undefined boogey man.

[pat_k]

31. They have to maintain their little fascist fantasies. . .

Belief people are very strange creatures.

When belief defines reality, there is no reality to test those beliefs against.

The belief that "everybody knows" X is at the core of all their beliefs. That is, they believe what they believe "everybody knows" (with everybody being the people from which they adopt their beliefs or a sufficient number of the people "out there"), and they will believe that until they notice that "everybody knows" something else.

They can believe something today that is diametrically opposed to what they believed yesterday. When your belief defines your reality, you can turn on a dime, because your beliefs are self-contained. No pesky facts interfere.

When polls take an enormous swing this or that way, it is because enough people "out there" have come to a particular conclusion to create an "everybody knows" reality that sweeps up the belief people.

It is impossible for folks who operate on knowledge to actually "get it", but the actions and behavior of belief-people makes a bizzaro-world kind of sense when you accept that their reality really is defined by their beliefs.

They can also simultaneous hold completely conflicting sets of beliefs. (Beliefs define reality at a given moment; that "reality" can change moment to moment.)

For example:

• We had to sell the war for the good of the world. (Why? Because so and so, the people I adopt my beliefs from, say so.)


• To sell the war, we must suppress any intelligence that conflicts with the agreed narrative.


• The narrative is the reality.


• There is a shitload of conflicting intelligence we we must suppress to protect the narrative. . .

And round-and-round the go. . .

[C_U_L8R]

32. Didn't believe it for a second

the republicans are such piitiful liars

[abluelady]

33. Of Course I Didn't Believe It

But why doesn't one interviewer say that there are many people who didn't believe. Most of the people against the war didn't believe it. Somebody needs to call her on it. That is an even bigger problem, imho.

[JohnnyLib2]

34. Gotta be covering up,

she's just not that ignorant or uninformed. Sure as hell is in the bunker, though.

[pa28]

35. Hans Blix and the U.N. weapons inspectors?

More historical revisions by the Bush crowd. Now it's 'who could have predicted he didn't have WMD's'?

[Raine]

36. She's wrong cause

I DIDN'T.

[The_Casual_Observer]

37. It's their basic cover story for the con. If they ever slip up on that one

they all head for the gallows.

[DemInDistress]

38. fortunately for the bush crime family 35-40% of Amercia is filled

with complete morans,,, and their mostly the GOPieces of shit. fool me once shame on you bush fool me twice and ya can't fool me again (bushism)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

39. Did She Follow Those Words With "See How Good We Are At Selling Bullshit?"

After all, it was their lies and deception that convinced the majority of Americans that was the case.
