Chris WALLACE: [L]ooking back, and hindsight is always 20/20, should we have invaded? [...]
MITT ROMNEY: At that time, we didn’t have the knowledge that we have now. At that time, Saddam Hussein was hiding. He was not letting the inspectors from the United Nations into the various places that they wanted to go. The IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] was blocked from going into the palaces and so forth. And the intelligence in our nation and other nations was that this tyrant had weapons of mass destruction.
This is a pack of lies. At that time Sadam was not hiding. The UN had unfettered access to all facilities, including Sadam's palaces, for three months before Bush, Cheney, and the GOP took this nation to war. Further, the available evidence shows they knew they were lying about Niger yellow cake, Sadam's relationship with Bin Ladin, aluminum tubes, Curveball., and WMD. They knew Sadam was not a threat because logic, past behavior, and and the CIA told them so. And yet they invaded anyway. This makes them war criminals. And it makes anybody who is defending them now a very dangerous person to have around.
