BUSH kicked the UN inspectors out of Iraq; BUSH sent US troops to war

[LynnTheDem]

WITHOUT ENOUGH BODY ARMOR.

80% of the dead US marines would still be ALIVE if they'd had proper body armor.

WAR OF CHOICE BY LIES; BUSH kicked the weapons inspectors out of Iraq; BUSH rushed our troops to needless war without enough body armor;

BUSH GOT THEM KILLED.

4. yep-- Americans don't want to remember that Saddam Hussein didn't...

...kick out the U.N. inspectors-- Clinton and Bush did. And Scott Ritter has repeatedly said that after 1991 Iraq was generally quite cooperative, balking only at the most obvious U.S. attempts to subvert the inspections process for espionage. History will remember all of this.

9. I thought that...

..the article in the New York Times said 80 percent of the marines who have been killed in Iraq from wounds to their upper body could have survived if they had extra body armor.

Big difference from "80% of the dead US marines would still be ALIVE if they'd had proper body armor." It is still damnimg to the Bush adminsitration, but let's be accurate.

10. And Blix was pleading for 6 to 8 more weeks

because they were getting total cooperation. Hussein was even letting them in the Royal Palaces if they went in with no more than 4 inspectors.

The only reason he did that because he suspected they were also looking for intelligence that had nothing to do with weapons. And he was right.

11. That's all Blix asked for....

...6 more weeks...and Bush COULDN'T WAIT!

He knew that if gave ANYONE time to adequately debate the issue...he might not get HIS war.
