Just Sayin'

Remember all the WMD's everyone said Saddam had? That couldn't be found? Remember all the satellite images of truck convoys racing onto Syria? I do.

Letting "sleeping dogs lie"

ROVE LIED, REPUBLICAN BRAND DIED


[.....] starting in 2004, some members of the George W. Bush administration and Republican lawmakers began to find evidence of Obama's phony birth certificate, erm, discarded chemical weapons in Iraq. But when the information was brought up with the White House, senior adviser Karl Rove told them to "let these sleeping dogs lie." The issue of Iraq’s WMD remnants was suddenly thrust back into the fore this week, with a blockbuster New York Times report accusing the Bush administration of covering up American troops’ chemically induced wounds.

To people familiar with the issue, both inside that administration and outside, the blame for the coverup falls on one particular set of shoulders: Rove’s.

Dave Wurmser, a Senior aide to Dick Cheney, succinctly told The Beast “it was all for nothing; Rove wanted the issue buried.”

Concerning that message burial, it is clear that the false narratives that hardened over those years -- on WMDs, yellow cake uranium, Katrina, the economic meltdown, and even the 2000 election -- paved the way for the Democrat rout in 2006 and for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. After all, even John McCain in '08 and Mitt Romney to some extent in '12 ran against Bush rather than against Obama. Some 53% of the country still blamed Bush for the economy in November of 2012 -- almost exactly the percentage that voted Obama -- and the "Bush lied people died" meme is still prevalent on liberal websites [... Rove Lied, Republican Brand Died]



This is a good roundup of the NY Times and Daily Beast articles of several days ago, together with analysis and comments from Republicans and conservatives.  The thing to note is not only did Karl Rove block Republicans who wanted to answer Democrats on the subject of weapons of mass destruction that were actually found in Iraq, but Bush was a part of it.  These days Rove continues to waste money raised from Republican sources (he has had almost NO victories to brag about, but has wasted hundreds of millions of their dollars).  Rove also continues to attack conservatives and sabotage their attempts to run for office.  It is a valid question to ask which side he's on. - Skoonj

New York Slime, and WMD











“
"The United States had gone to war declaring it must destroy an active weapons of mass destruction program. Instead, American troops gradually found and ultimately suffered from the remnants of long-abandoned programs, built in close collaboration with the West."
[...] Five years after President George W. Bush sent troops into Iraq, these soldiers had entered an expansive but largely secret chapter of America’s long and bitter involvement in Iraq.

From 2004 to 2011, American and American-trained Iraqi troops repeatedly encountered, and on at least six occasions were wounded by, chemical weapons remaining from years earlier in Saddam Hussein’s rule.

In all, American troops secretly reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs, according to interviews with dozens of participants, Iraqi and American officials, and heavily redacted intelligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Blahblahblah



The New York Times once more  is too cute by half.  After agreeing in near unanimity with President Bush's argument that
A leaked memo from the office of West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller urges fellow Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to use its probe into Iraq war planning as a staging ground to beat President Bush. It calls for an independent investigation of the president next year, timed for maximum negative impact on Mr. Bush's re-election effort.
Saddam Hussein had stores of WMD, Democrats suddenly pretended they hadn't. WTF?   The (treasonous) Rockefeller memo is one example of the DEM's new strategy; disagree and confront Bush over everything he does in the War Against Terror, or get steamrolled by the GOP in the coming elections.  

The New York Times was a willing messenger.  As a result, every comedian would need only mention "Bush" and "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in the same sentence to bring the house down. So now the Times are reporting on Saddam's WMD
—that ever existed.  Do they  at least reference their error?  No, they  blame  Bush and Rumsfeld for keeping silent about the WMD they discovered in Iraq!

There is a reason why polls conducted with knowledgeable Americans show that 87% agree that, had the 9-11 Islamos instead crashed planes into the New York Times building; Rockefeller Center, and  Democrat Party H.Q.; nobody would have much cared.
