"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
Dam it! if I have told Clinton 1 time, I’ve told him 100 times, stop going into the future and reading Bush’s pile of garbage!

If Bush is such a stupid, idiot who cant tie his own shoes how did he get all these brilliant Democrats who are so intelligence to make all these quotes .
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members.. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

MI6 ran 'dubious' Iraq campaign
Mr Ritter has become a critic of the war on Iraq
British intelligence ran a campaign designed to exaggerate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, a former US intelligence officer has claimed.
Former UN chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter said the disinformation drive in the late 1990s was designed to shift public opinion.
Mr Ritter has been a vocal critic of military action against Iraq since leaving the inspections team in 1998.
A spokesman for MI6 said the allegations were "unfounded".
He told reporters in the House of Commons that he was involved personally with Operation Mass Appeal between the summer of 1997 until August 1998 when he resigned from the UN.
Mr Ritter said the MI6 operation was designed to "shake up public opinion" by passing dubious intelligence on Iraq to the media.
The so-called "non-actionable intelligence" dealt with Saddam Hussein's alleged campaign to possess and conceal weapons of mass destruction. He said the intelligence was "single source data of dubious quality".
Mr Ritter claimed this was the first time the existence of Operation Mass Appeal had been revealed.

Ananova:
Hillary Clinton calls for inquiry over Iraq
Hillary Clinton has called for independent inquiries to review the credibility of the intelligence used to justify war in Iraq.
The New York senator joined the mounting pressure in both Britain and the US to investigate allegations that details of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction were exaggerated.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Tony Blair said he would not appear before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee to give evidence on alleged misuse of reports in the so-called 'dodgy dossier'.
But Senator Clinton said that although the jury was still out on whether weapons would ever be found, it was essential to discover what happened with the intelligence in both nations.
In an interview with Sir Trevor McDonald in Washington, she said: "I hope that in both our countries we have independent inquiries that get to the facts about the intelligence."
Asked if she thought there was a problem, she said: "I think there could be.
"What is important is that we really do find out what the truth was because this is not just about the past, whether or not the intelligence was either wrong or skewed for whatever purpose, but going forward."
Mrs Clinton said she did not know if people were misled but said: "That is why this cannot be left unanswered.
"I voted for the Iraqi resolution, and I did it in large measure based on the intelligence that I was privy to."
Mrs Clinton was interviewed for ITV1's Tonight with Trevor McDonald programme.

The inspectors were there to verify they had disarmed. Clinton said that in a speech to reassure the American Public that Hussein would be disarmed. Especially after the PFNAC started publishing a bunch of bull.

Starting in 1997.
I'll see if I can find a better source. But this is the only one with a link to the original document. PFANAC has taken down all of their original documents.
The blueprint for our current foreign policy was being written back in 1992 by then-Defense Secretary, Dick Cheney. His writings set out a new doctrine that called for U.S. power in the twentieth century, to be that of an aggressive and unilateral approach that would secure American dominance of world affairs by force if necessary. This "peace through strength" policy has been unfolding from the day Bush, Jr. took office; the strategic planning of it was done during the Clinton administration with funding from the military-industrial complex, energy companies, and right-wing foundations. Over time, those working on these new plans evolved into PNAC, established in 1997 with members Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz at the helm. May God help us!
In September 2000, the PNAC updated and refined Cheney's original version into a new report entitled: "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources for a New Century" calling for unprecedented hikes in military spending, American military bases in Central Asia and Middle East, toppling of non-complying regimes, abrogation of international treaties, control of the world's energy sources, militarization of outer space, total control of cyberspace, and the willingness to use nuclear weapons to achieve "American" goals. This plan by the neo-conservative or neo-con think tank, PNAC, shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power and says the U.S. for decades has sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security, revealing that a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure a regime change was planned even before Bush took power in January, 2001.

"The effects of the RMA will have profound implications for how wars are fought, what weapons dominate, and which nations enjoy military preeminence.
Any serious effort at transformation must occur within the larger framework of U.S. national security strategy, military missions and defense budgets. The United States cannot simply declare a “strategic pause” while experimenting with new technologies and operational concepts. Nor can it choose to pursue a transformation strategy that would decouple American and allied interests. A transformation strategy that solely pursued capabilities for projecting force from the United States, for example, and sacrificed forward basing and presence, would be at odds with larger American policy goals and would trouble American allies.
Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. ""
Eerie! Do you suppose Bush ignored all the warnings for a reason?

And for the record I read the Moor’s book Stupid White Men, and I can safely say that he is a POS he dose write propaganda and he is a complete moron, and I would not waste my time for any production the idiot makes. (the book was loaned to me so I didn’t give the bleeding heart one penny)
Crap! I hate getting into these things. While I agree Moore is a "POS" I can't agree he is a complete moron. (damn it, did I just say that?)
Moore is VERY good at what he does, probably the best. He has a way of taking bits and pieces of what people say editing and piecing it back together to mean something totally different. True! These people had said these things, but not in the way these so-called "Documentaries" portrays it
Moore is very extreme. I hate extremes, left or right. Nothing gets done! While they fight we, and others, get screwed!

Moore isn't extreme. I've seen some extreme lefties.
Moore bathes, shaves, uses animal products, and was/is a member of the NRA. He doesn't blow up hummers, and he doesn't blow up cosmetic plants.
If you want to see extreme, I can show you some.

no he says that he had been a lifetime member or the NRA. Where is your proof that he joined only to get the interview?. and just because the clock moves half an hour just means he skips alot of bull small talk because you cant just jump right in to attacking the NRA in the first five minutes or else youll be leaving too quickly. he just probably left alot out for the sake of the movie not being 3 hours long. then ambushed him? so youre saying that what the NRA did was right? going with big gun shows right after tragedies in those cities? have a little compassion i mean come on. sure you have the RIGHT to, but that doesnt mean you HAVE to.

The NRA event was had been scheduled for over six months and had thousands of members show up for the annual event. The NRA canceled the majority of the events scheduled but could not cancel the annual members' voting meeting due to laws governing nonprofit organizations.
Columbine happened 11 days before the NRA’s scheduled event and they went out of the way to “not cause a fuss.”
As for me proving he did it just for the interview, I believe it was in one of the NRA magazines that talked about Bowling for Columbine. Membership should be a public record and you can probably see when someone joined up. If you doubt it look it up or make Moore prove it since he seems unable to that with most of his points.
