REF: Top Democrat Slams Bush ...
1/12/2005
"After a search that has consumed nearly two years and millions of dollars, and
a war that has cost thousands of lives, no weapons of mass destruction have been
found -- nor has any evidence been uncovered that such weapons were moved to
another country," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.
"President Bush has refused to concede what has been obvious for months --
the primary justification for the invasion of Iraq was not supported by fact,"
she said.
I can hear republican heads popping whilst trying to manufacture a creative way to convince themselves that this is not happening. (pop! Pop!)
Another senior Democrat in Congress, Joe Lieberman , broke ranks with Pelosi,
saying that even though no WMD were found in Iraq, the invasion of Iraq was
justified.
I always knew that Joe Lieberman was a closet republican. He shares many of their views.
A Republican senator, Johnny Isakson, appearing with Lieberman on Fox, agreed
that the Bush administration made the right decision in overthrowing Saddam,
even without hard evidence of WMD. "We found lots of evidence of programs
and contributors to programs while we've been in Iraq. So I think we absolutely
did the right thing," Isakson said.
Ok, this does not make sense. You don't go to WAR, killing thousands, on faulty evidence that many people considered shoddy at best. Then you have to come up with justifications for the war AFTER THE FACT?
"Oh, sorry I beat my wife officer. I found her in bed with another man the other day, so last month's beating was because I just knew she was going to do it."
Whatever.
