The Democrats and Iraq

WHO SAID WHAT?!?!

I recently came across some quotes made by some prominent Democrats prior to the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003. If you hear them talk today, the constantly complain about how the President lied about WMD's and how we were misled into this war and blah blah blah. Well lets take trip back in time shall we to a time when the Democrats also knew the threat Saddam Hussein posed to our country. The media will never ask these people to explain their comments, but I would sure like them to. Here we go:

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY): "I voted for the Iraqi resolution. I consider the prospect of a nuclear-armed Saddam Hussein who can threaten not only his neighbors, but the stability of the region and the world, a very serious threat to the United States. 1/22/03

Senator John Francis Kerry (D-Mass): "According to the CIA's report, all the US intelligence experts agree that Iraq is seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that Saddam Hussein wants to develop nuclear weapons." 10/9/02

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal): "Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons." 10/10/02

Rep. Jane Harman (D-Cal): "What will happen not just with al-qaeda but with Hezbollah and Hamas and all the other terrorist groups around the world if Iraq is permitted to continue to amass weapons of mass destruction and to develop nuclear capabilities." 2/16/03

Its funny how they got it back then, but now that the war has been difficult, they have changed their minds for political gain, regardless of the effect it might have on the effort of the troops on the ground still trying to win. These people are hypocrits of the worst kind, and could very well be in power come November. Now there is a scare tactic for ya.
