The truth
First of all, lets get the truth out. The Bush admin. never claimed to have knowledge of an Iraq/911 tie. They claimed a tie to Bin Laden and his al Qaeda network. When the 911 commission released its findings, it said that while there was no evidence of an Iraq/911 tie, there was however a tie between Iraq and Bin Laden/al Qaeda. I've heard liberals scream that Bush is a liar but not once have I heard a replay of President Bush or any of his administration say that Iraq was involved in 911.
Moores film does not speak the truth. I have no problem with a liberal view or a view against President Bush but make sure you speak the truth if you're going to cut him down. Moore makes the claim that President Bush knew about 911 before but wouldn't do anything about it for political gain. That is absurd. The war on terror/Iraq is not a political gain. It very well could be the reason Bush would lose. I also don't hold Clinton too responsible for not leading a war on terror. Without the backing of the people, no president can wage war. I don't believe Moore is honest, I believe that his hatred of the president should make people sick.
Oh, as for the WMD's...The president had his own CIA director tell him that is was a "slam dunk". He had Britian intel saying Iraq had WMD's. Russia even believed he had WMDs. I personally believe he had them. Maybe not to the extent of what was thought but he had them. Remember the hatred Saddam had for Bush? Saddam knew the political ramifications of the Bush claim of WMDs. It wouldn't be above Saddam to move them to Syria to try to hurt Bush. He had them, he agreed to get rid of them. He refused to provide evidence he had gotten rid of them. The burden of proof was on Iraq, not us. Ever been afraid of the police searching your car if you didn't have anything in it?
One more thing, quit worrying what all other countries think of the US. Germany is primarily responsible for 2 world wars and France has bowed down to them twice. Their opnion of us doesn't bother me too much and it shouldn't you either.
