More than anybody, Mr. Vice President, you made the argument in the run-up to the war that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. And one senses, in the indictment and the trial testimony, that by the early summer of 2003, there was panic in your office that the W.M.D. had failed to materialize.
So when Ambassador Wilson came forward, you seem to have been infuriated. You tried to blame the C.I.A., and then your office tried to discredit Mr. Wilson by arguing that he had simply enjoyed a junket arranged by his wife.
Robert Grenier, a C.I.A. official, told the court that he thought the White House was “trying to avoid responsibility for positions that they took with regard to the truth about whether or not Iraq had attempted to acquire uranium from Niger.” So did this all arise from an attempted cover-up?  |
Mr. Lieberman, Ms. Feinstein, Ms. Milulski, Mr. Daschle, and Mr. Kerry you sent president Clinton a letter in 1998 stating the following:
Quote:
|
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
|
Why did you fabricate the facts in order for the president to dredge up a war against Iraq? You had to know the intel was faulty. Right?
And Ms. Albright you also stated the following in 1998:
Quote:
|
"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed."
|
Can you explain how you could possibly come to such a conclusion when it was obvious that there were no WMD in Iraq?
And Mr. Berger also made the same false statement about Iraq’s WMD in 1998
Quote:
|
"(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10 times since 1983"
|
Can you explain this lie? We'll get to the top secret documents, related tot this subject, you stole later.
And Mr, Ritter, you are an expert and have first-hand experience in the inspection of Iraq’s WMD programs. Can you explain how you could come to state such a lie in 1998? I mean knowing what we know today:
Quote:
|
"Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons inspectors] suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production."
|
And President Clinton, can you please explain to us how you could make such a false statement in 1998:
Quote:
|
"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow."
|
First question is: Why didn’t you respond? Second question is: How could you possibly not know this was a false statement? Can we guess that you knew it was false and it was your intent to pass this false intel to the next president for him to act on in order to deflect the problem off of you?
Before we continue with the impeachment process with President Bush and Vice President Cheney we have to have answers to these fundamental questions. Why did you all lie about Iraq's WMD and perpetuate this lie to President Bush?
Is it possible ladies and gentlemen that FBI agent George Piro’s report is right; that it was Saddam who misled us into believing he was armed? Or it is just your agenda to shed responsibility off yourselves in order to gain political points and regain power back into our government; because you knew this was a popular war in the beginning which was bad news for the democrats? Are none of you interested in telling the truth about what you knew rather who to blame?
