Sheldon Richman of the Future of Freedom Foundation on Backpedaling on Iraqi Weapons:
The campaign of deception continues, but the handwriting is on the wall.
President Bush himself now says that so-called weapons of mass destruction may never be found in Iraq. But he’s not yet willing to concede that perhaps Saddam Hussein was telling the truth when he said he had none. Rather, the president suggests that Hussein destroyed or removed the weapons before or during the war. But the source for that information is an unnamed Iraqi scientist who is being kept from the press.
And yet, Clinton got impeached for lying about a blowjob. The Bush Administration's lies cost over a hundred American and many more Iraqi lives. Yet, there he sits pretty as can be on Pennsylvania Avenue, while the fools down the street do nothing.
If Saddam really didn’t have weapons, one would think that he would not lead UN weapons inspectors to think otherwise.
