The Democrats Are Liars Part V

The Democrats have been attempting to lay the entire blame for the War in Iraq at President Bush's feet. That fact prompted me to write this series of posts to show that many leaders, including several prominent Democrats, sought strong action against Saddam Hussein long BEFORE President Bush took office and early on in his term. Now these same Democrats have been crucifying President Bush over the Iraq War for years. I have already covered Democrat's Al Gore, Bill Clinton. and John Kerry. The Next noteworthy Dem on the list is former Senator and VP Candidate John Edwards. While Edwards is not quite as boring as Gore and Kerry, he is right in line with them on how he felt about Saddam and WMD's before Bush bashing was in vogue. Let's take a look at a pre Iraq War quote from John Edwards; "Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002. Edwards remarks about Saddam having WMD's and attempting to acquire nuclear weapons, were quite clear, so should he not share culpability with Bush for the Iraq War? Here is some more from Edwards speech; "The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002. As Edwards suggested, President Bush did in fact rid the World of Saddam Hussein and the threat he represented. Edwards also stated that it's not a politics. Funny he felt that way before the war but seems to have forgotten his own advice now. Check out the links to my other posts below featuring the Democrats being taken to task with their very own words about the Iraq War. In a City of phony politicians, the Democrats are the cream of the lying crop.
