Bush: 'We Found' Banned Weapons
President Cites Trailers in Iraq as Proof

KRAKOW, Poland, May 30 -- President Bush, citing two trailers that U.S. intelligence agencies have said were probably used as mobile biological weapons labs, said U.S. forces in Iraq have "found the weapons of mass destruction" that were the United States' primary justification for going to war.

In remarks to Polish television at a time of mounting criticism at home and abroad that the more than two-month-old weapons hunt is turning up nothing, Bush said that claims of failure were "wrong." The remarks were released today.

"You remember when {Secretary of State} Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons," Bush said in an interview before leaving today on a seven-day trip to Europe and the Middle East. "They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two.

"And we'll find more weapons as time goes on," Bush said. "But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong. We found them."

1. For that lie alone he should be impeached. nt.

[KansDem]

2. He lied; Cheney lied; Rumsfeld lied; Powell lied;...

They all lied; are lying; and will continue to lie with the help of the media.

Who knows what they have planned for 2008 and beyond...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. I remember him using those traliers to get Poland to become part of the coalition of the willing.

And would you believe, well after the trailers were debunked, they were still shown as proof of WMD on the CIA website?

4. The Scud Frenzy

I remember a CNN report in the middle of this madness that claimed they had found a cache of missiles near Baghdad near a large fortress and they were sure this was the magic moment. That was until it was discovered it was just one old missile with a conventional warhead that was left over from '91 and inoperable.

But then you listen to the fuksticks like Kagen or Hoekstra or Faux Noise and they'll tell you for sure that those weapons are buried somewhere in Syria thus we need to attack Iran. :crazy:

6. Unbelievable. Seriously I am stunned that they'd leave that.

It's so astoundingly wrong that it could have only been uttered as either a bald-faced lie by a complete scumbag or by a complete idiotic, uninformed, ignoramus.

7. It is still there because

they really, really, really want it to be true!

8. "In that trailer, we found jars of mustard, and cans of gasoline -

in case you didn't know, those are the key ingredients in the manufacturing of deadly MUSTARD GAS!!" :evilgrin:
