WHO SHOULD WE BELIEVE, AND WHEN SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM??
I RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE A WHILE AGO. THE INFORMATION SEEMED REAL INTERESTING TO ME AS I AM SURE THAT IT WILL MAKE
SENCE TO MOST OF THE READERS OF THIS MESSAGE.
Take a few minutes to read this. Especially toward the bottom you will see Kerry's comments. It is amazing
how the facts are unimportant to so many, and how soon they forget! "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, 1998 Iraqis
a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state
will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."-Madeline
Albright, Feb 18, 1998 "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten time since 1983."-Sandy
Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb 18,1998 "[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with
the US Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect
Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."-Letter
to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry (D - MA), and others Oct. 9,1998 "Saddam
Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in
the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process"-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec 16, 1998 "Hussein
has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." -Madeline Albright,
Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 "There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs.
Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status.
In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program
to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." -Letter to President Bush, Signed
by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a
tyrant and threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is
building weapons of massdestruction and the means of delivering them."-Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 "We
know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."-Al Gore, Sept. 23,
2002 "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will
continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein
is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 "The last UN weapons
inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare
capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." -Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct.
3, 2002 "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to
disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and
grave threat to our security." -Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein
is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years
. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass
destruction."- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002 "He has systematically violated, over the course of the past
11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological
weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" -Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct 10, 2002 "In the four
years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and
biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort,
and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members.. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein
will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear
weapons." -Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence
that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of
weapons of mass destruction." -Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein.
He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because
he is so consistently prone to miscalculation . And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit
and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction . So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction
is real" - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 WELL WELL WELL! SO NOW EVERY ONE OF THESE SAME DEMOCRATS SAY
PRESIDENT BUSH LIED--THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND HE TOOK US TO WAR UNNECESSARILY! TWO
FACED OR WHAT? WHO SHOULD WE BELIEVE AND WHEN SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM????
ROGER H. COOPER CAVTROOPER5981
The attack should be characterised by speed, determined and controlled violence. Only the cavalry can provide
all this
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I did my best".
"Let every nation know.... that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, oppose any foe to assure the survival
and the success of Liberty."
DO NOT WISH TO BE ANYTHING BUT WHAT YOU ARE, AND TRY TO BE THAT PERFECTLY.
"BE WHO YOU ARE "BE UNFORGETABLE"
