NYT: Bush Denies Claim He Oversold Case for War

President Bush today rejected criticism that he had exaggerated the urgency of going to war with Iraq and said American forces were "on the hunt" for Saddam Hussein. ---

"I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course," Mr. Bush said. "I also take responsibility for making decisions on war and peace. And I analyzed a thorough body of intelligence, good, solid, sound intelligence that led me to come to the conclusion that it was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein from power."

Asked in several ways whether he had oversold the threat from Iraq to justify the war, Mr. Bush said that he remained confident that banned weapons would be found, and that there had been a well-documented case even before he took office that Mr. Hussein had biological, chemical and nuclear weapons programs.

"And in order to placate the critics and cynics about intentions of the United States, we need to produce evidence," Mr. Bush said. "And I fully understand that. And I'm confident that our search will yield that which I strongly believe: that Saddam had a weapons program." ---

This stack of papers, either forged or 15 years old is capable of threatening paper cuts........

In the lead up to the war, why wasnt the story "he has stacks of paper, that could be weapons programs".....instead it was tons and tons and mushroom clouds :eyes:

LIES

If I hear the phrase "weapons program" one more time, unchallenged, from this fucktard's mouth, I swear I'm gonna bust a blood vessel!

if it was a really big, thick program - like you get at one of those Greek revival plays - well you could roll one of those up real tight and could put a knot on someones head. I've seen it done! So a "program" can be really dangerous, I mean, if it is thick and rolled real tight!
