8. They've all told so many lies about this, I'm sure they've
forgotten just why they went in. But Rummy's doing "a heck of a job".

9. Well obviously not.
After all, if the U.S. invaded Iraq because of WMDs, then the U.S. would have had plans to secure special explosives that could be used to detonate nuclear weapons, which the U.N. had confiscated and sealed in bunkers.

Who invades a country over the threat of WMDs, yet fails to even consider securing the known about components that could be used for WMDs?

10. Like the ammo depot with something like 382 ton's
of high explosives, they just went on by and now that is the stuff that they are killing our soldiers ever day with. Makes me wonder if that wasn't the plan all along.

11. Rumsfailed is a more blatant liar than Cheney.
When he did tell the truth he was ignored.



Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act. Rumsfeld also admitted to signing orders for tougher interogation methods which violated the Geneva Conventions.

Rumfailed has commited at least three violations of the Geneva Convention thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also prosecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

The US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA.

12. That is exactly it!
Some of that stuff could be used to detonate a nuclear weapon, but they let them loot it, so they could use it against us later.

When reports first came out about the looting of the U.N. sealed bunkers, everyone was so concerned about all of the explosives that got looted. But nobody was asking the right question.

If the U.S. invaded Iraq over WMDs, then why in the Hell didn't they even plan to secure known about, U.N. sealed, special explosives that could be used to detonate a nuclear weapon (that BushCo. claimed was imminent)?

If WMDs was the reason, that would have been one of the first places secured. Their WMD claim was busted back then, because they knew exactly where these U.N. sealed bunkers were and they ignored them.

13. I heard that wizened up
son-of-a-weasel try convoluting the 'reasons' for going into Iraq. This pack of unpatriotic bastards should be kicked the hell out of OUR capitol. How much do we need to have these evil bastards taken to task for their illegal acts.
