Thread Name: BS: Proof that Bush lied
Subject: RE: BS: Proof that Bush lied
Example of Bush lies from a site linked by Amos - 23 Feb 07 - 12:08 AM, the site was picked at random.

Barry, having been unable to come up with one example of a Bush lie, obviously seemed impressed.

The "Bush Lies" were charted in three columns. These form the sub-headings given below.

1)Here's what Bush said:
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent." -
State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

2)Bush's Claim:
Iraq has 500 tons of chemical weapons:
-       Sarin gas
-       Mustard gas
-       VX Nerve agent

3)Reality:
Not True - Zero Chemical Weapons Found
Not a drop of any chemical weapons has been found anywhere in Iraq

Comments:
Anybody see any difference between what the President actually said in the State of the Union Address (1) and what the compositor of this table said the President said in (2)? When did a reported estimate of materials necessary to produce equate to the definite statement that Iraq HAS?

Conclusion, this so-called lie is a fabrication on the part of the people who put the list together. Anybody doubting that can supply the reference to the speech in which the President said, "Iraq has 500 tons of chemical weapons".

The "Reality" as stated is incorrect the casings of chemical/biological munitions were found, the whole of Iraq has not been searched. Even today, those responsible for inspection (UNMOVIC) would refuse to state categorically that there were no WMD, agents or precursors in Iraq, as such a claim could not be verified.
