DID THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION LIE ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN ?
I am most concerned about the Bush administration’s obvious lie about the existence of prohibited Husseins in Iraq. Iraq has been scoured for Saddam, Uday and Qusay class Husseins since the war ended but not a trace of Husseins have been found. Nor have UN diplomats been allowed into Iraq to talk to any potentially existing Husseins.
Instead the administration has offered us feeble examples of “palaces ” where the Husseins were alleged to have lived; questionable eyewitness reports from defecting Iraqis who claimed to have firsthand knowledge of a Hussein. Iraqi reports of fake Saddams have been recklessly discounted by this administration in their quest for a war for oil.
As we know, this war was justified by the Bush administration that claimed to have ironclad proof that Iraq had Saddam Hussein. Well, the war has been over for months and there is not a scintilla of evidence that Saddam or any other Hussein ever existed
I demand an investigation
I posted this on Brad De Long’s comment board the other night but my sarcasm was unfortunately roundly ignored by those people offering the WMD conspiracy argument. Oh well.
