The "tea party" flag is the Gadsden Flag. Which predates the tea party by a couple hundred years buddy.

Irrelevant though, since my "flag" says No Step on Snek. It's a humorous play on the Gadsden Flag. I don't expect you to understand because you're a batshit-insane conspiracy theorist without a shred of humor.

Conclusion: You're a fricking idiot.

Good news. Sorta like unspooling the Bush Administration lies about the invasion of Iraq and the false Tonkin Gulf resolution thrown in for good measure.

Not that I believe it, but...if they were working together, I don't think ANYONE would believe it. They both despise the very existence of Iran. Still, I don't believe it.

So the Jews and the Arabs are BFFs now who are playing conspiracy???


Right!

Trump Is Right, Bush Lied: A Little-Known Part of the Bogus Case for War

Jon Schwarz

February 18 2016, 10:09 a.m.

In the Republican presidential debate in South Carolina on Saturday night, Donald Trump said something about the Bush administration and the Iraq War that is essentially illegal for Republican politicians.

“They lied,” he said. “They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none.”

Trump has subsequently walked it back a bit, but he shouldn’t have. I’ve followed the issue of Iraq’s WMD programs for 20 years, and won a $1,000 bet in 2003 that if the U.S. invaded, we would find nothing. There’s no question that the Bush administration lied enthusiastically about what it knew about Iraq and WMD.

There is an enormous amount of powerful evidence to prove it:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney kicked off the push for war in August 2002 by claiming: “There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.” Cheney’s speech had not been vetted by the CIA, and John McLaughlin, the CIA’s deputy director, shortly afterward told Congress that the likelihood of Iraq initiating a WMD attack “would be low.” Another CIA official later recalled that the agency’s reaction to Cheney’s speech was, “Where is he getting this stuff from?”


The Bush administration said that aluminum tubes Iraq had tried to import were “only really suited for nuclear weapons programs” — even as Bush himself was being told the State Department and Energy Department believed (correctly, of course) they were intended to be used as conventional rockets.

Bush declared in his 2003 State of the Union address that “Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa,” even though his administration had been repeatedly warned this was dubious (and it turned out to originate with crudely forged documents).

Colin Powell doctored intercepted Iraqi communications for his U.N. presentation to make them appear more alarming.
… and much more."

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

That's what Cheney said at a speech on August 26, 2002, at the annual Veterans of Foreign Wars convention, as the Bush-Cheney administration prepared to roll-out its campaign to win popular support for an invasion of Iraq.

This statement—no doubt at all about Iraq's WMD!—was false. The intelligence regarding Iraq's supposed WMD program was full of uncertainty—and there was no intelligence indicating the Iraqi dictator was gathering weapons to use against the United States. On the stage with Cheney that day was retired General Anthony Zinni, a former commander in chief of US Central Command. He recently recalled his reaction to Cheney's assertion: "It was a shock. It was a total shock. I couldn't believe the vice president was saying this, you know? In doing work with the CIA on Iraq WMD, through all the briefings I heard at Langley, I never saw one piece of credible evidence that there was an ongoing program."

"We do know, with absolute certainty, that [Saddam Hussein] is using his procurement system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon."

During a Meet the Press appearance on September 8, 2002, Cheney maintained that Iraq had been procuring aluminum tubes to use in an enrichment process designed to yield fuel for nuclear weapons. This was, as he might say, a big-time charge: the tyrant of Baghdad on the verge of possessing nuclear weapons. How frightening. And days later, Cheney repeated this claim: "We now have irrefutable evidence that [Saddam] has once again set up and reconstituted his program to take uranium, to enrich it to sufficiently high grade, so that it will function as the base material as a nuclear weapon. And there's no doubt about the fact that the level of effort has escalated in recent months."

This, too, was not true."

Cheney is a traitor and war criminal.

"From September 1996 until August 1997, Zinni served as the Deputy Commander in Chief, United States Central Command. His final tour was from August 1997 to September 2000 as the Commander in Chief, United States Central Command, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. He organized Operation Desert Fox, a series of airstrikes against Iraq during December 1998, with the stated purpose of degrading Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. Following this, he retired in autumn 2000."

You are a total shill for everything wrong in our foreign policy. You are totally out.
