https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/video.php?v=622410927821028&fref=nf<\/a><\/p>\n The conventional wisdom is that George W. Bush lied to congress about the WMD in Iraq. The conventional wisdom is that there was no relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda.\u00a0 The conventional wisdom is that George W. Bush made a huge mistake by invading Iraq.\u00a0 The conventional wisdom is based on repeated lies and distortions by the main stream media.\u00a0 The truth is there for anyone willing to see.\u00a0 This is well documented, but I suspect most people know none of this.<\/p>\n Bill Clinton is the one who claimed that Saddam Hussein had large stockpiles of WMD.\u00a0 Watch the video of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.\u00a0 Then explain to me how Bush managed to trick them into doing this?\u00a0 Nonsense.<\/p>\n The truth is that every major official in the Clinton Administration and every top Democrat in congress believed that Saddam Hussein had large stockpiles of WMD. So did the Bush administration and top Republicans in congress.\u00a0 That is because the U.S. intelligence community strongly believed that to be true.\u00a0 There were only a handful of people who expressed doubt, but none of them had any credible evidence to support their opinion.<\/p>\n It gets worse.\u00a0 The Clinton administration had reason to believe that Iraq was providing nerve gas to al Qaeda.<\/strong>\u00a0 The following incident has been ignored or downplayed by the main stream media.\u00a0 Yet, this seems really significant.\u00a0 Most people are shocked to learn that there was at least some evidence that Saddam Hussein was helping al Qaeda get nerve gas. Here is what the main stream media, and unfortunately the Bush administration, never told you.<\/p>\n Bill Clinton attacked a factory owned by Osama bin Laden in the Sudan because the CIA found verex the precursor to Sarin gas on the site.\u00a0 The intelligence said that this came from Iraq.\u00a0 Later a site inspection failed to verify the presence of verex.\u00a0 That is why Republicans joked about Clinton bombing an aspirin factory.\u00a0 If only that were true.\u00a0 However, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.\u00a0 \u00a0This incident is well documented.\u00a0 The following excerpt is from page 116 of the 9-11 Commission Report:<\/p>\n Ever since March 1995, American officials had had in the backs of their minds Aum Shinrikyo\u2019s release of sarin nerve gas in the Tokyo subway.\u00a0 President Clinton himself had expressed great concern about chemical and biological terrorism in the United states.\u00a0 Bin Ladin had reportedly been heard to speak of wanting a \u201cHiroshima\u201d and at least 10,000 casualties.\u00a0 The CIA reported that a soil sample from the vicinity of the al Shifa plant had tested positive for EMPTA, a precursor chemica for VX, a nerve gas whose lone use was for mass killing.\u00a0 Two days before the embassy bombings, Clarke\u2019s staff wrote that Bin Ladin has invested in and almost certainly has access to VX produced at a plane in the Sudan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Much public commentary turned immediately to scalding criticism that the action was too aggressive.\u00a0 The Sudanese denied that al Shifa produced nerve gas, and they allowed journalists to visit what was left of a seemingly harmless factory.\u00a0 President Clinton, Vice President Gor, Berger, Tenet and Clarke insisted to us that there judgment was right, point to the soil sample evidence.\u00a0 <\/span>No independent evience has emerged to corroborate the CIA\u2019s assessment.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A contemporary CNN report from 1998 confirms not only the suspicion that this was a chemical plant, but that there was a direct connection between Osama bin Laden and Iraq:<\/p>\n The U.S. knew bin Laden had been pursuing the development of chemical weapons “within his organization and in cooperation with Sudan’s National Islamic Front,” the official said. Bin Laden had worked with the Sudanese in the 1990s to test “various poisonous substances and to improve techniques for using and producing them,” the official said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Bin Laden “has provided significant funding for Sudan to build its military-industrial complex,” the official said. The National Islamic Front’s leader Hassan al-Turabi has said bin Laden’s organization would “furnish weapons and munitions for use against enemies of Islam.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Read the following and ask yourself if there is any evidence of a connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden:<\/p>\n The U.S. also believes Iraq has been a “foreign benefactor” of Sudan’s chemical weapons efforts.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “Iraq admitted to UNSCOM that it planned to produce VX for its CW program using the EMPTA process,” <\/span>the official said. “And prior to the Sudanese soil sample, Iraq was the only country we knew of to have pursued this production process.”<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Additionally, Shifa officials were in contact with Iraq about its VX program, the official said. Shifa had signed an agreement to provide veterinary drugs to Iraq as part of the oil-for-food program, but according to the United Nations, the contracted material was never delivered.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The main stream media continues<\/strong> to report that there was no relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda.\u00a0 They shout down anyone who dares question that conventional wisdom.\u00a0 They ridicule Bush and Cheney for even hinting at a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. The facts, obviously, tell a very different story. It was Bill Clinton who determined that such a relationship existed long before Bush became President.\u00a0 It was Bill Clinton who indicted Osama bin Laden for conspiring with Iraq t<\/strong>o conduct terrorist attacks.\u00a0 The following excerpt is from that indictment:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.fas.org\/irp\/news\/1998\/11\/indict1.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ve been lied to by the main stream media over and over and over again. I will never understand why the Bush administration didn\u2019t fight back.\u00a0 I also don\u2019t understand why Republicans did not rally around their President. \u00a0I am astonished that so many people in the main stream media ignored the obvious and reported the ridiculous.<\/p>\n Did they really think that Bush lied to trick us into an unnecessary war?\u00a0 If I thought Bush did that I would lead the impeachment parade myself.\u00a0 There was never any evidence of this.\u00a0 Yet liberals wanted to believe that Bush was capable of this, so they pretended that this was true.\u00a0 If there was a shred of evidence supporting this theory Democrats would have rushed to impeach Bush.\u00a0 They were bitterly angry at the Clinton Impeachment and they wanted revenge.\u00a0 \u00a0Sadly these outrageous lies have been repeated so many times that far too many people believe them to be true.\u00a0 However, repeating a lie does not make it the truth. It is terrible that the media covered up the serial lying by Brian Williams, but it is far worse that the media has been lying about the Iraq war since day one.<\/p>\n Ask yourself a simple question.\u00a0 Imagine you are President Bush.\u00a0 Imagine watching the horror of 9-11.\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t it be logical to worry about al Qaeda getting possession of a WMD?\u00a0 You know that Osama bin Laden wants another \u201cHiroshima\u201d with at least 10,000 deaths.\u00a0 You have read the report about the al Shifa factory.\u00a0 You have seen the intelligence suggesting that Saddam Hussein is ready, willing and able to provide nerve gas to terrorists.\u00a0 What would you do? \u00a0Would you just ignore this and hope the CIA was wrong?<\/p>\n This is not speculation.\u00a0 This is well documented.\u00a0 No one disputes any of the above. They just ignore it and keep repeating the same lies.\u00a0 Are they too stupid to recognize the truth or are they just too biased.\u00a0 Ultimately, does it matter?\u00a0 The important thing to understand is that the main stream media has lied about this over and over again.<\/p>\n I strongly believe that if most people knew about al Shifa and they knew that there was evidence that Saddam Hussein was providing Sarin nerve gas to al Qaeda their perspective on the Iraq war would change significantly. Isn\u2019t it about time someone reported the cold hard truth?\u00a0 Is that too much to ask?<\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The attached video, courtesy of Airman Brian Kolfage is a stark reminder of how much the main stream media distorts reality. https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/video.php?v=622410927821028&fref=nf The conventional wisdom is that George W.
