The Democrats Are Liars

The Democrats are liars and that is the bottom line. The Republicans are not much better, but when taken as a group, the Dems take the lying cake. The Democrats have been attempting to lay the entire blame for the War in Iraq at President Bush's feet, especially with the November election fast approaching. Now that the Democratic Primary is finally over, I wanted to do a story that looks back at the Dems position concerning Iraq in the past, compared with their statements today. A single story, however that is not possible. In order to cover all of the lies of some of the major Democrats concerning Iraq, it will take a whole series of posts. I begin with Senator John Kerry, a man that makes a root canal look like a good time as opposed to listening to him speak. On November 9, 1997, John Kerry made a speech from the floor of the Senate. I his speech Kerry said; "In my judgment, the Security Council should authorize a strong U.N. military response that will materially damage, if not totally destroy, as much as possible of the suspected infrastructure for developing and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, as well as key military command and control nodes. Saddam Hussein should pay a grave price, in a currency that he understands and values, for his unacceptable behavior." I freely admit that my math is not the best, but isn't 1997 a full three years BEFORE Bush was President. Wasn't Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton the President? Who was Senator Kerry trying to convince? Kerry was pretty firm in that speech and left little room for doubt in the action that he was seeking concerning Iraq. Kerry went on in that same 1997 speech to say; "This should not be a strike consisting only of a handful of cruise missiles hitting isolated targets primarily of presumed symbolic value. But how long this military action might continue and how it may escalate should Saddam remain intransigent and how extensive would be its reach are for the Security Council and our allies to know and for Saddam Hussein ultimately to find out". Is that the same John Kerry who has so vehemently blamed Bush and the Republicans entirely for Iraq? To cover their collective asses, the Democrats cry that they were mislead by Bush about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction capability. Kerry's above 1997 speech proves that to be false and there is much, much more. How did I get from an idea for one story to a whole series on this subject? The Internet of course. While researching one thing sometimes you learn a whole lot more than you expected. Americans should and can know the truth. It's only a Google away.
