THE TRUTH ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH, PT.2

The left just lies and lies and lies. I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone with any character would want to be a liberal. I couldn’t wake up in the morning and face the day knowing that I will be spreading and defending untruth after untruth.

Case in point – look at this from an alleged NEWS story from MSNBC about the White House/CIA leak hullabaloo:

“The controversy planted roots in January, when Bush said in his State of the Union address that British intelligence officials had learned that Iraq had attempted to purchase yellowcake uranium in Africa. The citation was used by Bush to back up the administration’s claim that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein posed an immediate threat to the United States.” (Bold added)

The administration did NOT say Iraq or Saddam Hussein were an immediate threat. This is the quote from the 2003 State of the Union address:

“Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option”

What the President is saying is that Iraq is NOT an immediate threat, but to wait until they become one is folly. Yet, the liberals trot out the “immediate” threat claim over and over again.

On a side note, I found some interesting claims made by the UN cited in the speech:

- “The United Nations concluded in 1999 that Saddam Hussein had biological weapons sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax…”
- “The United Nations concluded that Saddam Hussein had materials sufficient to produce more than 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin…”

Interesting, considering how the left claims we made up the “threats”, I didn’t realize Karl Rove commanded the United Nations, too.
