Did Clinton's whitehouse destroy documents regarding whitewater?
Did Clinton's whitehouse destroy documents regarding travelgate, filegate, etc?
Did Clinton's whitehouse destroy documents and obstruct justice regarding Vince Fosters' "suicide"?
Did Clinton lie to Congress?
You make it seem like all this whitehouse secrecy and lies is new.
And you continue to say that Bush "lied" about nuclear weapons. If he lied then so did all the democrats who said the same thing. Many on both sides of the fence were saying that Iraq had the desire and ability to create nuclear weapons.
Many were also tying Sadam to Al Queda. They were doing so erroneously, and were most likely doing so because the American people wanted a "bad guy" to attack after 9/11 regardless of whether it was warranted or not.
I'm not debating the point that we went into Iraq for the wrong reasons (I thought Iraq posed a danger, but they had for 10 years. Why all of a sudden were they a priority? 9/11.) but let's call a spade a spade, and admit that the vast majority of politicians on both sides of the fense were all in agreement that Saddam caused a clear and present danger to the US regarding both chemical and potentially nuclear weapons.
So that's point one. Point two is that it's not like Bush pulled this info out of his ass. As Keyser has already pointed out, the vast majority of our allies also agreed with the intelligence we believed.
If the Democrats actually didn't believe it; thought there was no connection with Al Queda, thought there were no nuclear weapons, thought there was no ability or intention to develop nuclear weapons, thought there was no clear and present danger to the US, why didn't they say anything? For those few who did oppose the actions, why was there no support within their own party? Did Bush just outright lie to everyone in the country and the government and Democrats just bought it hook line and sinker?
