Lies of Bush Administration
Today’s news always seems to be about some big disaster, paranoia, politics, and the happy stuff at the end. One big topic on the news is obviously the situation in the Middle East. As you may of heard, over 3,000 of our own troops have been killed in the Middle East and not for a cause that I believe in. When our president first sent us in to war, I was hardly able to think for myself, but now that I can, I see some of the United States’s biggest lies in the Bush administration, but before I forget…
The #1 Common Myth in America (drum roll if you want):
1. The U.S. has more freedoms than any other country. Sure we have freedom of speech and right to bare arms, but those are rights. Other countries have just the same, if not more. There’s actually more laws than rights passed in Congress every year.
Continuing on, This weeks blog is going to focus on the lies of our president, George W. Bush. To start, one of the biggest lies was that Sadam Hussein had WMDs, or Weapons of Mass Destruction if you prefer. Bush told us in a press conference that Britain had received intelligence that Hussein had sought a large quantity of uranium. Perhaps you didn’t know that if Saddam would’ve been violating U.N. prohibitions against having and long range weapons of any kind. Obviously we didn’t find any and America has finally wised up to the fact (yes fact) that Bush had lied about Saddam having WMDs in his possession just to send us to Iraq. Not only that, Bush made the decision to go to war without U.N. approval. Bush also said that Iraq was harboring and training terrorists, some for Al Qaeda.
Nearly 6 years into the Iraq war and little progress has been gained. Billions and billions of money spent on the war, yet there some of our troops still don’t have the necessary equipment. If we can’t even give our own troops medical supplies, how can we supply the Iraqi people? The Bush administration did not have a solid plan before entering Iraq. The U.S. hasn’t gained anything from this war. The threat of terror hasn’t diminished, Osama Bin Laden is still alive, and a civil war has broken out in Iraq.
In my opinion the 2 biggest lies of George W. Bush is that the terror threat would’ve been diminished when Saddam was taken out of power and that with help the Iraqi people could reach peace and human liberty. The terror threat has not diminished and we haven’t helped the Iraqi people reach peace and human liberty

I have no response to anything you’ve said, except for that I couldn’t agree with you more.
1. I’d like to see the quote from the press conference where Bush confirmed that Iraq had WMD’s.
2. If there aren’t terrorists in Iraq, who’s killing our troops?
Cheers.
Zombies: First, I would like to confirm that Bush stated that Hussein had seeked out quanitities of uranium. The concept that they were going to be used as WMDs caught on and that lie stuck with it. Second, there were no terrorists, taliban, or Al Qaeda members in Iraq pre-American presense. They invaded Iraq when word came there way that their enemies were right next door. I never said there were no terrorists in Iraq in present day, I was saying there weren’t before America invaded Iraq.
Oh and here are multiple quotes from bush and his administration about the WMD topic; just go here: http://zfacts.com/p/581.html
About the quote, I was just curious and didn’t want to come off as confrontational. Thanks for your response to that.
I would like to say now that I don’t support President Bush. I did support the War initially, when we DID depose a ruthless mass murderer from a position as leader that was dangerous to the world community, and all that jazz. Nowadays, I don’t know why we’re still there, except the terrorists.
I don’t think you can say there were no terrorists before American invaded with any conviction, because we weren’t there to confirm this fact. And as you’ve already unveiled, out intelligence on the issue was less-than-stellar.
Zombie – Can you find evidence that there were terrorists in Iraq prior to our illegal invasion? We were told there was a link between the 911 terrorists and Iraq so that we would get behind King George and Evil Dick’s plan to invade. Okay, maybe there was a stray terrorist, visiting his mother, in Iraq prior to our invasion. There was no terrorist group presence in Iraw prior to the war.
