Federal prosecutors say Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion.
From a Weekly Standard article at the time:
The controversy ignited on September 29 when Bonior and McDermott appeared from Baghdad on ABC’s “This Week.” Host George Stephanopoulos asked McDermott about his recent comment that “the president of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war.”
McDermott didn’t backpedal at all: “I believe that sometimes they give out misinformation. . . . It would not surprise me if they came out with some information that is not provable, and they, they shift it. First they said it was al-Qaeda, then they said it was weapons of mass destruction. Now they’re going back to and saying it’s al Qaeda again.” When Stephanopoulos pressed McDermott about whether he had any evidence that Bush had lied, the congressman replied, “I think the president would mislead the American people.”
An American official floating unsubstantiated allegations against an American president during a visit to Baghdad would be troubling enough. But McDermott compounded his problem by insisting, despite its twelve years of verifiable prevarication, that the Iraqi regime should be given the benefit of the doubt on inspections and disarmament. Said McDermott on “This Week”: “I think you have to take the Iraqis on their face value.”

Very true. Frankly I wonder how anyone who loves America, who has any ethics or values, or is a Christian could be a Democrat today.
I’m not saying the Reublicans are perfect; I am now registered Independent. But even though there are some rotten apples in the Republican barrel, the Democrites are rotten to the core.
The Democrite/Soros party has gone so far Left it really just needs to be disbanded and rebuilt. Take out the hardcore Communist/Socialists and put them in the Commie pinko party or whatever they call it. Take out the hate-America pro-terrorist dickweeds and pout them in a new party called “We Support the terrorists”. Take out the arch-hypocrites and put them in the “Do as We Say” party. Take out the degenerate perverted types and form a Degenerate party for them.
Anyone that is left over, the small percentage of decent Democrats, can form the basis for the reformed party.

Amen to that about Christians. I also cannot understand how any Jew can be a Democrat. The Democraps are so pro-Islamic and Anti-Israel That is seems stupid for a Jew to even be able to stomach the Demon-craps platform. Did they learn nothing from the Leftist love of Nazism and Communisms treatment of Jews? If the leftist loved Hitler and Stalin they’ll probably really love Obama and his false doctrine Phoney Rev preacher at Obama’s “church”.
Also before our Libbys on these posting start their bleating that Nazism is to the right, no, no, no extreme Right would be Anarchy, no government whatsoever. Nazism and Communism are the extreme left, just like Liberalism, complete government control over lives.
