First, I must tell you all that I've had to take a hiatus from being as active as I have been. I apologize for the absence but, as previously, I can't guarantee it won't happen again, between computer viruses, human health issues, and strained resources, the capacity for ChangingWind.Org to be a loud voice of Christ, Conservatism, and Capitalism, and not merely a whisper, has been affected. I'm delving in once more only because I'm tired of the “there were no WMD's in Iraq” lie.
Where's the truth begin? Well let's see what the Canadian Media has to say about Al Qaida working with the Iraqi Republican Guard...
Link to the uncut version for those that think something is being hidden from them is here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItqE9yQi4yw.
Hmmmm, where's Fox or the alphabet brigade from ABC, CBS, NBC, or even CNN, MSNBC, etc.? They didn't see the reports from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the public radio and television station (government funded) http://www.cbc.radio-canada.ca/? Apparently a company of this magnitude is merely a stool sample on the boot of the American media, no follow up or even mention of this revelation that (and it must be repeated) Al Qaida, who controlled an area of Iraq, were working with Iraqi Republican Guard to learn how to distribute SARIN GAS prior to the U.S. Invasion of Iraq, which apparently broke up AQ's tutelage in dispersing CHEMICAL WMDS.
But please, don't take my word for it, look what USAID had about it, confirmed by Amnesty International too, regarding the almost 400,000 found in mass graves, and further documenting the killing of 5000 Kurds a day in Northern Iraq, http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/pdf/iraq_mass_graves.pdf. Oh wait that link isn't good anymore, apparently taken down since Barack Obama and Democrats who coined “There were no WMDs in Iraq,” to which we reply: Thank you Wayback Machine, http://web.archive.org/web/20040207052634/http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/legacyofterror.html. If you're someone who cares about this make sure to download the pdf of the report as this link might disappear from the Wayback Machine if the Democratic Party has their way.
And then let's look at General George Sada, 2nd in command of the Iraqi Air Force, the man Sean Hannity and Jon Stewart both interviewed (though Hannity's interview was taken down from youtube), where Iraqi General Sada explains how Saddam Hussein had done false commercial jet liner manifests for 2 and a half years before the U.S. invasion, using 2 planes every week to ship his WMD arsenal to SYRIA...[This link is tempermental, I've found a new one that I hope is less so, try it if this video doesn't play, http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/ymppi0/general-georges-sada]
And last, and to me more convincing than all, is when Charles Faddis, a man who was part of the first teams into Iraq, explains on a Blog Talk Radio show, when questioned by your humble blogger/writer of this article calling in, that, at first, there were no WMDs in Iraq, to then explain that this meant “nuclear” or “nukes,” and then, when brought to a point about Saddam's Chemical Weapons, he is clear to explain that Saddam had mass stockpiles of WMDs, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/2020radio/2011/12/02/stay-mad-radio-on-20-20.
Evidence enough that this should have been investigated a long time ago?
Evidence enough that the line being sung as though a fact is disproven?
Evidence enough to say that the standard of “WMD” was being filtered by the Left, and other anti-war minded free speech hypocrites, as requiring only nukes to be counted as WMDs for sake of their rhetoric, their brand of political correctness?
It appears to me that from the above, the answer to these questions is a resounding “Yes!”
Ramifications: IF THIS HAD BEEN INVESTIGATED, INSTEAD OF BURIED BY LEFTISTS NEEDING TO DRUM UP POLITICAL RHETORIC AGAINST THE WARS AND GEORGE BUSH SYRIA'S PRESIDENT ASSAD WOULDN'T HAVE THEM NOW!
Then again... Considering that the WMD argument is being propagandized as a “righteous use” to which the “1429” dead required Secretary Kerry, with the perfectly timed somber pause, to then add “with over 400 of them children,” it appears to me that the double-standard Left has decided that the very same WMDs in Iraq's hands, and to which Al Qaida was gaining access (see first link above), were to be dismissed for sake of politics, meaning: This whole issue with Syria, including for Obama to later change his mind, IS BEING DONE SOLELY FOR OUR DOMESTIC POLITICS, THE 2014 ELECTIONS!
To suggest this with no reason would be wrong, so my reason goes like this....
Is a White House Chief of Staff a war strategist? Is this person a general or related to the Pentagon? No they are not. Instead, this person brief's the president on statistical data of a domestic character, and for a 45 minute walk about the politics of Syria, to see how well this is getting the attention of the American people and nullifying concerns over the IRS, Benghazi, NSA, the deaths of Seal Team 6, and a number of other domestic scandals/investigations, to then have him decide to hand the matter over to the Congress, infusing the political into a situation where the Constitution is clear regarding the President not having power to attack a Sovereign nation without Congressional Authority (as that is an act of war).
The only faulty “intelligence” regarding Iraq has been the people who bought into the lie that “there were no WMDs in Iraq.” And, if we go to Syria on the basis of the claims by the Obama Administration, we'll have repeated this faulty intelligence once more, and only be saving face for Barack Obama who speaks long before any cognitive knowledge of the situation is available to make any speeches over, and then uses this expressed mindless thought from a speech as a political chess piece and nothing more. Thus we have no reason to go to war in Syria, that our prestige, etc., that we ignored in re-electing Barack Obama, is the price we pay for our mistake, I mean, Obama said “elections have consequences,” to which the People of the United States of America are not immune.
