Bush Lied & People Died

Once and for all I would like to settle and argument or two with some of my more conservative friends. Bush lied about reasons for invading Iraq. First there were the WMD's we didn't find any and some have defended this by saying well they moved them while we looked for them or something of that general nature. We didn't need to look for them. According to Colin Powell speaking to the UN before the invasion we KNEW Iraq had WMD's and we knew EXACTLY where they were. What should have been said is we are pretty sure they have some and we kinda know where they are. Secondly the link between Al Qaeda and Iraq (Hussein specifically) well, ummm... there isn't one. Bush is simply "Kicking the Dog" (this refers to a Monty Python bit in which the wealthy matron of a family passes gas and rather than risk offending her and being written out of the will each time she flatulates the family members kick the dog). The real funding and cultivating of Al Qaeda and terrorists comes from Saudi Arabia but we don't want to piss them off. For this ours sons, daughters and neighbors are dying.
