Bad news for the "Bush Lied" crowd.

President Bush told the nation in his 2003 State of the Union Address that Iraq had recently sought uranium from Africa. This formed the basis for the claim adopted by administration critics that "Bush lied" about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. But the Washington Times today (3/13/06), reports that "newly translated Iraqi documents . . . tell of Saddam seeking uranium from Africa in the mid-1990s."

Gen. Georges Sada, the No. 2 ranking officer with the Iraqi Air Force, is finally being heard in Washington, D.C. Senate Armed Services Committee member James Inhofe, R-Okla., recently said, " . . . This old argument of weapons of mass destruction, which has always been a phony argument from the beginning, now that we have information that's been testified . . . in closed session, by this General Sadas [sic] -- all kinds of evidence as to the individuals who transported the weapons out of Iraq into Syria."

So it looks like Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Ted Chappaquiddickennedy, the vast majority of the Democrat Party, the major media and the Hollywood elite were the liars.It’s time the Left stop playing politics (and thereby aiding and abetting our terrorist enemies) and start being Americans.

Dissent is one thing; Holding the government accountable for its actions is right, but that’s not what the Bush-hating Left has been doing.They never whined that Clinton lied when he first used the term “WMD” in relation to Iraq. Why? Partisan politics, that’s why.

“When Clinton was here recently he told me he was absolutely convinced, given his years in the White House and the access to privileged information which he had, that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction until the end of the Saddam regime,” – Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso said in an interview with Portuguese cable news channel SIC Noticias. Glenn Reynolds called this a blow to the “Bush lied” crowd.

Those liars on the Left owe the President, the military and all the families of our fallen soldiers a huge apology.
