“Because my country has sold its soul to corporate power.
Because consumerism has become our national religion.
Because we’ve forgotten the true meaning of freedom.
And because patriotism now means agreeing with the President.
I pledge to do my duty and take America back.

Just to keep the record straight, here’s what Dubya said before the war:

“Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the
production of biological weapons.”

- Radio Address, October 5, 2002

“The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological
weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons.”

“We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas.”

“We’ve also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We’re concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States.”

“The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his “nuclear mujahideen” – his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.”

“Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.”

State of the Union Address
January 28, 2003

“Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no
doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal
weapons ever devised.”
