Did Bush Lie About WMD?
Bush’s enemies are fond of saying that he lied about WMD to get support for invading Iraq. He didn’t. Below are quotes of national leaders reflecting their opinion on Iraq/WMD prior to the invasion. If you would like to see the source for these quotes, go to http://www.jrwhipple.com/war/wmd.html Some of the quotes, like those of John Kerry, have been removed from the site, likely because they are inconvenient reminders of his previous position, and others on news sites may have been removed as a normal course of updating the site. However, all quotes are actual, and most links still are good. ======= “One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.” President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 “If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.” President Clinton, Feb. 17
