Bush "credibility" tainted
'Tainted'???! Why it isn't f*cking SHOT is beyond me.
On Thursday, the Serial Liar-in-Chief cited two tractor-trailer rigs seized in Iraq as evidence of a biological warfare program, though intelligence analysts acknowledged they had no concrete evidence the trailers were used to make biological agents.
"That's a far cry from the report put out in October 2002 when the CIA estimated that there was several hundreds tons of biological and chemical agents stockpiles in the hands of Saddam Hussein," Vincent Cannistrano, former director of counterterrorism at the CIA, said.Senator Robert Byrd said the apparent absence of such weapons raised serious concerns about misuse of power.
"They haven't found anything like that at all and certainly nothing that has been weaponised. It is self-evident that their credibility is diminished, particularly in the international arena," he added.
"Two months after the war, finding just two rusty trailers - its clear the Bush administration has a credibility problem," agreed John Pike, a defence analyst at GlobalSecurity.org.
"Contrary to what Mr Bush tried to convince this nation of, Saddam Hussein did not constitute an imminent danger to this nation," Byrd said. "The Bush team's extensive hype of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a justification for a preemptive invasion has become more embarrassing. It has raised serious questions about prevarication and the reckless use of power," he added.
"Were our troops needlessly put at risk? Were countless Iraqi civilians killed and maimed when war was not really necessary? Was the American public deliberately misled? Was the world?"
