Iraq - Rumsfeld lied over WMD

That's what Ray McGovern claims. But what did McGovern say back in 2003?

For now, continued the CIA letter, "Baghdad appears to be drawing a line short of conducting terrorist attacks with conventional or chemical/biological warfare against the United States." With his back against the wall, however, "Saddam might decide that the extreme step of assisting Islamist terrorists in conducting a weapons-of-mass-destruction attack against the United States would be his last chance to exact vengeance by taking a large number of victims with him."

And

With respect to possible Iraqi use of chemical weapons, it has been the judgment of the US intelligence community for over 12 years that the likelihood of such use would greatly increase during an offensive aimed at getting rid of Saddam Hussein.

Over 12 years goes back to the Clinton years. And don't you have to have WMD in order to use them?

Joe Wilson said the same thing in 2003.

There is now no incentive for Hussein to comply with the inspectors or to refrain from using weapons of mass destruction to defend himself if the United States comes after him.

And he will use them; we should be under no illusion about that.

Hussein and Aziz both told me directly that Iraq reserved the right to use every weapon in its arsenal if invaded, just as it had against Iran and later the Kurds.

The fact that thousands of men, women and children had died in these attacks fazed them not one bit. In fact, Aziz could barely be bothered to stop puffing on his Cuban cigar as he made these comments, of so little importance was the use of chemicals to kill people.

Now, the question is, were McGovern and Wilson lying then, when they said Saddam had WMD, or are they lying now when they say Rumsfeld is lying? One thing you can't escape, McGovern and Wilson are lying.

That doesn't stop the lying left wing media from pushing thier cause.

The media sang a different tune in 1999. Just listen this ABC News report on Saddam, WMD and al Qaeda.
