Iraq invasion

Yesterday once again President Obama said the situation with ISIS in Iraq is the fault of the Bush invasion. Some people have forgotten what most thought about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. The congress voted 77 to 23 in the senate and 296 to 133 in the house to invade Iraq. Other leaders also believed that Iraq possessed WMD. President Bill Clinton, December 1998: "Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them, not once, but repeatedly – Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., December 1998: "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." French President Jacques Chirac, February 2003: "There is a problem -- the probable possession of weapons of mass destruction by an uncontrollable country, Iraq. The international community is right . . . in having decided Iraq should be disarmed." .Even former governor Howard Dean believed…. In March of 2003 Dean said “Iraq is automatically an imminent threat to the countries that surround it because of the possession of these weapons. I see the invasion as a mistake now but when I thought that Saddam had WMD I thought it was the thing to do. The question I have for those who were against the invasion is would they allow Iraq to have WMD and will these same people allow Iran to have a nuke?
