From Spinsanity online:
Myths and Misconceptions About Iraq
This is a great article that helps filter through all the allegations that 'President' Bush has made in regards to Iraq and its possession of WoMD. Bush's statements, not surprisingly, do not stand up to the facts.
"Today the world faces a single man armed with weapons of mass destruction, manifesting an aggressive, bullying attitude, who may well plunge the world into chaos and bloodshed if he miscalculates. This person, belligerent, arrogant and sure of himself, truly is the most dangerous person on Earth. The problem is that his name is George W. Bush, and he is our president."

"Quite probably the worst thing about the inevitable and totally unjustifiable war with Iraq is that there's no chance the US might lose it. America is a young country and intellectually, emotionally and physically, it has been exhibiting all the characteristics of an adolescent bully, a pubescent punk who's too big for his britches and too strong for his age. Someday perhaps we may grow out of our mindless pimplefaced arrogance but in the meantime it might do us a ton of good to have our butts kicked. Unfortunately, like most of the targets we pick on, Iraq is much too weak to give us the thrashing our continuously overbearing behavior deserves, while Saddam is even less deserving of the victory than Bush. Don't get me wrong, I don't want American soldiers killed. But I don't want Iraqis killed either. I'm just not one of those people who believes that American lives are more valuable than the lives of others".

"As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless."
