Thankfully W took care of the weapons of mass destruction before Iraq had a chance to use them and, what, there were no weapons of mass destruction, but W and his cronies said there were?

And now we have Donald talking about war with Iran because they are so close to having a nuclear weapon, that's what he's saying.

And then we have the intelligence services, which trump knows more than anyone in any of the services about everything, saying Iran isn't even close to having a bomb. Since Donald says he operates on instinct and he says they are close, who do you believe? Trump or his intelligence operatives who were also wrong about putin and the 2016 election?

Who do you believe, trump or the intelligence services?

Trump says Iran is close to having a nuclear weapon but U.S. intelligence says otherwise​


Trump says Iran is close to having a nuclear weapon but U.S. intelligence says otherwise

NBC News White House Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard, Senior National Security Correspondent Courtney Kube and retired Lt. Gen. Steph Twitty join Meet the Press NOW to discuss the Intelligence Community’s assessment that Iran isn’t close to creating a nuclear weapon, despite President Trump saying...

Why would anyone be concerned about a psychotic theocracy bent on the destruction of civilization having or pursuing a nuclear weapon? I always use uranium enriched to 60% in my reactor, and let me tell ya, I always have hot water.
 
It's not just Trump.. The R's and D's have been $elling their stinking lies to stooooooopid people for a loooong time...

"Tulsi Gabbard is a warmongering asshole, and a liar. She is helping to deceive the world into yet another horrible middle eastern war, and if she and her fellow warmongers succeed her words will go down in history as among the most depraved lies ever told....

...This fraudster has built an entire political career out of pretending to oppose war and militarism in order to win the support of Americans who are sick of pouring blood and treasure into the US slaughter machine, opportunistically drifting to whatever corner of the political spectrum would offer her the most power, and then when she got as high as she can go she sold all her stated principles to the furthest extent possible at the earliest opportunity.

Pee fetish porn stars have more dignity and integrity.

I feel so stupid for having bought into Gabbard’s antiwar schtick early on. **** this asshole, **** Trump, **** Israel, and **** the US empire."

You should know that W was proven right, so why the pretense?

Correctly.

There is good reason to believe he's correct in this as well.

How were they wrong about the 2016 election?

Let us know when you figure out what they are saying.

Until now, you have compared apples to appliances.

Colin Powell never agreed with this assessment which is why he wanted the people who supported this invasion right behind him when he sold his soul at the UN backing Bush's claims. He wanted the people in the picture as he made his false claims that they backed.
 
Try this.

No, Iraq under Saddam Hussein did not possess usable stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction at the time of the 2003 US-led invasion. While Iraq had previously pursued chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs, and had used chemical weapons, notably in the Halabja attack, these programs were dismantled under UN supervision following the 1991 Gulf War.

Should we just dictate to other countries what they can and can't do? We aren't complaining about Israel having nukes and netan Yahoo is a flat out war criminal.
 
It's much better, but don't forget that this was discovered years later.

It also shreds your attempted point into confetti.
 
Yes, he is trying to lie his way into another war, of course. Netanyahu and Putin are traitor trump's brains. He is their puppet, as always. Useful idiot.

How can an ignorant uneducated dullard work on instinct?

The idiots are falling for it too, look what we have in office for the second time, look at his Fascist regime, look at how they ignored or looked forward to Project 2025.

He's smarter than everyone around him, he's smarter than the Generals, he's a stable ****ing genius FFS. He's so narcissistic and thin-skinned, that he's holds onto jealousy of all the good Presidents who held office before him, he had to crap on the Iran deal asap, because someone with a brain arranged it.

Netanyahu and Putin helped the bastard get voted in again with their war criminal killer mindsets, they worked his suckers into a frenzy before the election. The American idiots were beside themselves, blaming the innocents who they were killing every day, like the Ukrainians and Palestinians.

Putin is smiling while we are dying. Trump's a LIAR people, if you don't know that by now, you condone his deception and destruction of our country, our people, our Republic and our democracy. The bloated bastard is selfish and old, he doesn't and really never did give a crap about the United States of America or anyone but himself.

It’s not my fault you lack the judgement to objectively evaluate this situation.

Netanyahu is not a psychopath. Khamenei is.

Evidence of the chemical weapons was eventually found, but it was years later.

Saddam disposed of the stockpile before the invasion.

Didn't exist yet.

The MSM discounted the story as too little, too late.

You state that as if the Republicans controlled the propaganda machine.

All the Right have is Fox, talk radio, and some blogs.
