Yes, I am serious, including the eloquence part. Those on the Left constantly state that Bush is an idiot. A moron. Dumb. And we all know about W's speaking issues. But, is that really the case? Let's see the evidence.
- Bush convinced vast amounts of Democrats to vote for the Iraq War
- Bush convinced the United Nations to pass Resolution 1441
- Bush convinced intelligence agencies around the world, including the French, German, Russian, and Chinese ones, that Saddam had WMD
- Bush got Bill Clinton to sign the Iraq Liberation Act before he even announced he was running for president
- Bush convinced Bill Clinton to attack Iraq in 1998, and state "Earlier today I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq…Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors."
- Bush convinced Babs Boxer to say this in 2002 "Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement."
- Bush convinved Robert "KKK" Byrd to say "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability" in 2002
- Bush convinced Hillary Clinton to say in 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security."
- Bush convinced John "Senator Gone" Edwards, current Democratic presidential hopefull, to say "The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction" in 2002
- Bush convinced current Speaker Nancy Pelosi to say "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process" back in 1998, before Bush started running for president.
- Bush convince Mr. Global Warming, and darling of the Left, Al Gore to say in 2002 "We know that he has stored nuclear supplies, secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Bush got Saddam Hussein to say "NO" to new inspections after Res 1441, thereby allowing Bush to build a coalition of over 40 countries to participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
- Bush influenced Saddam to ignore all UN resolutions for 12 years, while still governor of Texas.
- Bush persuaded George Tenet, a Clinton appointee, to say it was a "slam dunk" that Iraq had WMD.
- Bush convinced German Ambassador Wolgang Ischinger to say "I think all of our governments believe that Iraq has produced weapons of mass destruction and that we have to assume that they still have weapons of mass distruction" in 2003.
- Bush convinced a majority of the American people to back Operation Iraqi Freedom.
- Bush persuaded Bill Nelson to say, in 2002, "[M]y own personal view is, I think Saddam has chemical and biological weapons, and I expect that he is trying to develop a nuclear weapon. So at some point, we might have to act precipitously."
- Bush convinced the Lion of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, to state "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction" in 2002
- Bush planned and executed the 9/11 attacks, occuring just 8 months after assuming office, all in an attempt to turn America into a facist state and raise oil prices.
- He created the Ipod
And the hit parade goes on and on. Now, you tell me: are those the works of a man who is dumb and cannot speak well?
