Photos: President Bush's Best and Worst Moments

Where are Iraq's WMD you ask?

The answer is not "Iraq's WMD program ceased to exist after the Gulf War",no the answer is "Iraq's WMD has been moved to Syria."

Now it would be easy to write off this thread as another attack on a "radical islamic state", but the facts speak for themselves.

Why did we catch Uday and Qusay? Because they were expelled from Syria back into Iraq

If Syria is willing to transport human cargo out of Iraq what would stop them from taking on the WMD of the former regime.

This is not a crackpot theory but a well documented event.



Nizar Nayuf (Nayyouf-Nayyuf), a Syrian journalist who recently defected from Syria to Western Europe and is known for bravely challenging the Syrian regime, said in a letter Monday, January 5, to Dutch newspaper ???De Telegraaf,??? that he knows the three sites where Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) are kept. The storage places are:

1- Tunnels dug under the town of al-Baida near the city of Hama in northern Syria. These tunnels are an integral part of an underground factory, built by the North Koreans, for producing Syrian Scud missiles. Iraqi chemical weapons and long-range missiles are stored in these tunnels.

-2- The village of Tal Snan, north of the town of Salamija, where there is a big Syrian air force camp. Vital parts of Iraq's WMD are stored there.

-3-. The city of Sjinsjar on the Syrian border with the Lebanon, south of Homs city.










Nayouf writes that the transfer of Iraqi WMD to Syria was organized by the commanders of Saddam Hussein's Special Republican Guard, including General Shalish, with the help of Assif Shoakat , Bashar Assad's cousin. Shoakat is the CEO of Bhaha, an import/export company owned by the Assad family.

In February 2003, a month before America's invasion in Iraq, very few are aware about the efforts to bring the Weapons of Mass Destruction from Iraq to Syria, and the personal involvement of Bashar Assad and his family in the operation.
Nayouf, who has won prizes for journalistic integrity, says he wrote his letter because he has terminal cancer.







Now I am not advocating nation building in Syria

I have made this thread to defend the reasons we have deposed a despot capable of not only killing millions of his own people but who has endangered and destroyed the lives of Iranians, Israelis, Kuwaitis and Saudis. There is no question that Iraq is better without Saddam and that Asnar al Islam has been disrupted without a terror friendly base. The WMD existed before and after our invasion and not an overblown threat.

Whether you find yourself a Republican, Democrat, or Independent you must realize that the war in Iraq has clear purpose and justifaction and it is wrong to condemn it as "Haliburtons Escapade".

Are you folks finally agreeing with the DIXIE CHICKS ? Too bad they were so unfairly humiliated for venting the TRUTH. OH WELL.

Will G.W. be allowed to share a cell with Cheney? Do that do that in federal prisons?Which one will be the other's bitch?

tHE PEOPLE TO BLAME FOR THE MESS THAT OUR GREAT COUNTRY ARE THE STUPID PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR BUSH. aND THEY ALMOST SENT ANOTHER PUTZ INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. HOW STUPID WE ARE.

Make that genius (,genius).

Curious:

When General Eric Shinseki said, during the lead-up to the Iraq invasion, that many more ground troops (a couple hundred thousand more) were required, he was dissed by The Neocons, eventually dismissed by Rumsfeld.

How is it that after the invasion and AFTER the ensuing disastrous chaos and insurgencies and deaths, that the Surge of 20,000 more troops was claimed by Bush, McCain and the neocons as genious - one of their BEST?

Bush and the Neocons have made such a mess of the country, Obama has no where to go but up.

Bush???s speech showed once again his dishonesty and denial of responsibility for the disaster he, the GOP and the neocons left us.

Acted in the best interests of the country? Ha! What a load of crap. He surrounded himself with dishonest business men, unscrupulous investors, ignored the wishes and interests of the American people to give the vast majority of the economic benefits and goodies to his rich buddies. He allowed and even encouraged the banks to fleece the ignorant and poor through deceptive credit and banking practices, he appoints do nothing regulators who are essentially partners with business rather than representatives of the public. He passed tax laws that discriminate against wage earners in favor of capital holders. His liberation of IRAQ resulted in LESS religious freedom for the people than they had before and he made Iran, our greatest threat, a regional super power and mischief maker by removing Sadaam.

Good riddance to this unmitigated and self deceptive disaster of a president.

Simplicimuss; of course you don't understand the adoration going out to President Elect Obama because the country has not felt this kind of joy and hope towards an incoming president not only from Americans of every walk of life but also from the entire world in a long, long time. This is the joy you see when one of the worst presidents in history exits out the back door. I remember Bush's last inauguration. He could not even walk down Pennsylvania avenue because people were pelting his car with eggs. Get used to this. Its called admiration and respect. Something Bush never received whether in the United States or abroad and sadly something he didn't deserve.

MY GOD !! WHAT IS GOING ON ?? IS THIS AN INAUGURATION OR A CORONATION ???

President Bush didn't deregulate banks, that happened under a fellow who's wife is now Secretary of State, God help us.
There is now a Middle Eastern state that is a free Deomcracy, no longer a threat to peace in the region and will prove to be a strong allly of the US over time.
The President inherited a flawed FEMA and fixed it. Hence the lack of fallout after last summers floods.
Aids prevention in Africa has enabled millions of African's to live better lives. What'd the previous administration do besides ignore the problem?
American education is improved because of the leadership provided by a president who cares about the welfare of American children's future, What'd the previous administration do besides ignore the problem?
A 30% approval rating is stellar when you consider how stupid most Americans are. Always ready to blame someone else for their difficulties and ignore the fact that this President inherited a Federal Buracracy that had done nothiing but wallow in popular opinion polls for the previous 8 years.
Stupid legislation under Bill Clinton's Democrats caused the banking industry to collapse. May God help us.

In the real post-9/11 world, however, our new president may very well find himself confronted with the same choice that faced the U.S. government after the Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. It can be summed up as follows: Will Obama get as tough as possible with terrorist detainees who have information that will foil plots and save thousands, even millions, of lives ??? even to the extent of taking them to foreign locations and doing unsavory things to them? Or will he act always as if an ACLU lawyer is looking over his shoulder and thus risk the tragedy of another terrorist attack against the US homeland? President-elect Obama appears to be sincerely dedicated to protecting America. But is he appointing an attorney general who will pull an Elliot Richardson on him when the president is told that getting a little medieval on a high-ranking terrorist prisoner will save countless lives? Liberals may be overjoyed to hear Attorney General nominee Eric Holder unequivocally declare waterboarding to be torture. But will he refuse to let his president prevent terrorism?

Bush brought to the country a new term(Legal Dictator). We can all breath a little easier even if we are alot poorer! Good Reydance! AJG

In the 11 weeks of the transition, President-elect Obama has demonstrated that he is a sensible man. He has indicated that much of the liberal campaign rhetoric he employed in his underdog contest against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination was more an appeal for liberal votes than a peek at what he had up his sleeve. Starting Tuesday, Obama will be getting that same daily national security briefing that led his predecessor to take the most extraordinary steps in protecting the US homeland from further attack. A frequent Obama catchphrase has been that Iraq is a "dumb war." But one of the keys to the success of Bush's surge and the Anbar Awakening was that the Iraq people and many of their tribal leaders saw proof that the U.S. was acting in their interests. The smart long-term approach to taming the Middle East is making liberty and prosperity a rival to Islamist extremism. Complete success in Iraq during the Obama administration is an imperative. As Obama pores over the same intelligence that Bush saw, he will hopefully come to a realization: America has a far greater chance of standing if this new Democratic president embraces an alternative to the foreign policy ideology of his party's left wing. George W. Bush's administration achieved what few believed possible after 9/11, which is a perfect record of keeping America safe. Will President Obama keep the streak going?
