State repug convention update,Ari says war was needed
This is new to me.Fleischer insists weapons inspectors believed Hussein would had chemical weapons in a year."If Bush hadn't invaded Iraq,Hussein would have triggered world war III."He drew a parallel between Bush and Winston Churchill,saying if people would have listened to Churchill in 1938 world war II could have been averted.It goes on blah blah blah.
I hadn't heard the weapons inspector story before.Is that hog wash or did the inspectors actually say that?I think Fleisher is a over hyped blowhard.That's just my opinion.

1. HaHAHA
Hussein would have triggered WWIII???!!!

The usurper Bush may very well have started World War III. Too early to tell but these "things" always start "small".

Ari is still a fool apologist for a lunatic.

2. Ari's as full of shit...
... as his former boss. They want this myth perpetuated, in the hope that there's some justification they can fall back on after finding nothing.

Iraq was under sanctions, under inspections for most of a decade and under inspections before Bush started the invasion. In fact, the inspectors said no such thing.

Ari's a liar, just like Bush and the rest of them. Here's the simplest way of explaining it: if Hussein really had reconstituted Iraq's weapons capability and the inspectors had said so, would the US have had to bribe or threaten every little country in the world in order to build a half-assed "coalition?" Would Europe have failed to go along?

In fact, the inspectors said exactly the opposite. What little they'd found, said Hans Blix, didn't justify the UK government's assumptions and that it "should have exercised more critical judgement." Blix said: "There was not a serious or imminent threat. They could have carried on with the policy of containment."

Cheers.
