DJ US House Leader DeLay: Iraq Weapons "Totally Irrelevant"
(sorry – no link yet)

BAGHDAD (AP)--U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, on a tour of
Baghdad, said it is "totally irrelevant" that evidence has not been found
proving that Saddam Hussein was building weapons of mass destruction.
Brushing aside the main reason President George W. Bush said he launched the
war, DeLay said the only thing that mattered was that Iraqis are rid of a
dictator.
He and Florida Republican Congressman Ander Crenshaw, toured the Iraqi capital
in a long convoy with Apache attack helicopters flying overhead.
DeLay criticized both Iraqis and Americans for being too impatient about
improvements in Iraqis daily lives, saying open shops and available merchandise
on the streets of Baghdad showed the country is slowly rebuilding.
"You can see evidence of a country coming back to life. People are going out
and buying satellite dishes. The streets are clean," Delay said. "It seems the
Iraqis are just as impatient as the Americans. These things take time."




These guys are just fucking unbelievable….It’s like they’re actually getting in your face and saying…yeah, so what, we lied…neener, neener, neener…but the big bogyman is gone. These guys are outta control.

2. THEY ARE GOING OUT AND BUYING SAT DISHES?
Maybe they want to tune to non-moderated broadcasts that might clue them in as to when they'll get that damn democracy they were promised that they've seen none of, instead they get plainclothes mercenary thugs roaming the streets enforcing their rule against "organized resistance to the occupation"...f'ing Delay is the absolute bottom of the barrel criminal son of a b*tch when it comes to a measure of a mans humanity...

Yeah, all the minorities took up all the good Vietnam positions for him...

12. "only thing that mattered was that Iraqis are rid of a dictator"
Americans should follow suit and get rid of the Bush* Cabal. Only thing that truly matters IMHO.

13. WMD are irrelevant until a terrorist organization uses them
If the Bush administration is correct about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, then where are they and who has them? I would think that Rep. Tom DeLay would want to find the answers to these questions as soon as possible unless he considers national security insignificant.

18. I have the funny feeling...
Edited on Fri Aug-01-03 06:13 PM by hippywife
...that this isn't the last time we're going to hear this out of every last one of the Bush team. This will likely be the mantra up until the election, along with we're "still" working hard on the economy. :eyes:

DeLay has always been the pitbull of the republican party. They always yank his chain to be the one to say the ugly things the rest of them are thinking but won't soil themselves to say in public. Anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance to the evil Frank Nitty character played by Billy Drago in The Untouchables? One truly spooky dude.
