The latest comments were made by Mr Wolfowitz in an address to delegates at an Asian security summit in Singapore at the weekend, and reported today by German newspapers Der Tagesspiegel and Die Welt. Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."
01/28/2003 -- Bush gives another State of the Union speech, this time saying, "With nuclear arms or a full arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, Saddam Hussein could resume his ambitions of conquest in the Middle East and create deadly havoc in that region. And this Congress and the America people must recognize another threat. Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications, and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al-Qaida (emphasis mine). Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own."

Let me say this, the way I would like to say anyone who has read this far in this entry.
It is very low level thinking to say that 9/11 was an attack on the U.S. by our own powers to be, and in return they bend the facts around to make us believe that some box cutters highjacked 4 planes and that somehow sadam heusane is to blame for it. When all the reasons for war came out to be lies, isntead of them being lies they were called intelligence failures. This is very convieninent. |
