Unearthed Video: McCain Pushed Bush Iraq War Agenda Two Months After 9/11

Recently unearthed video shows that just two months after 9/11, John McCain was not only fully aware of the Bush Administration's Iraq War Agenda, but also that he actively helped make the argument for war.

In an interview broadcast November 28, 2001 on ABC News Nightline, McCain:

* Said that the Bush Administration would build a case for military conflict with Iraq, and expressed his support for such action

* Advanced false claims made by the Bush Administration about the threat of Iraqi WMD

* Connected Iraq with 9/11 by repeating the false claim that 9/11 hijacker Muhammad Atta had met with Iraq intelligence authorities in Prague before 9/11

Here's the video:

Speaking of promoting war and being a war hero ,where did Colin Powell go when the wheels fell off the Bush/Cheny wagon? This is my selection to be tried for war crimes BUSH-CHENY-RUMSFILD
WOLFIWITS -POWELL -RICE-ROVE-GONZELAS-MCCAIN-DELAY-S. LIBBEY- Iknow i'am missing one but you can add one in for me and we will have the dirtest damn dozen this country has ever put together. If McCain gets elected these same names will have jobs again behind the closed doors.

Surprise! Surprise! If we vote for him, we vote for another neocon with a crazy worldview! McCain put together with the neocons, the end-timers, and Palin makes a scary picture. We won't have to defend evolution any more. We will be extinct!

[TrooAmerican]

Maybe McCain is ACTUALLY the REAL Secret Power behind the MOtivations to go to war in IRaq, Maybe it ws allll his agenda and he actually pushed Bush and Bush's Cronies into war and occupation in Iraq?
Maybe we should just Blame ALL of the Military, economical, and social issues on McCain's machinations and he is the Brain behind it all.

Hah, just kidding, hes not smart enough to join Bush in finding their way out of a paper bag together.
lol

EVERYONE!

Please go to this link and hear McCain say right out of his mouth ..."IF I WERE DICTATOR, AS I HAVE ASPIRED TO BE..."

ANY MORE QUESTIONS AS TO HIS INTENT?

[dotmafia]

WOW.

Thank you for this, and spread the word. He really DID say that. That's just incredible.

He says it in the video posted on the top right corner of the page, at about the 1:45 time mark.

[TakingBackTheUSA]

Great!!! Major Gaffe time.

Watch the video and roughly 30 seconds in McCain says "if I were a dictator which I've always aspired to be..."

Any more questions?

[Solja]

I passed that video to all of my Obama groups AND to CNN & MSNBC yesterday. I am still waiting to see it on either channel (not that I watch CNN any longer for my news, too much spin/opinion).

I want to see an Obama campaign ad with this footage.

[javagirl322]

Just another slimey, lying jackbooted thug... but we are NOT surprised.

[justoverit333]

I'm from FL. I'm getting excited.
Obama is pulling ahead down here.

[bayman]

He was pushing for war with Iraq on 9/12. Even now: 'There will be more wars'. This guy is a a war monger. McCain/Palin is even scarier than Bush/Cheney.

[PT6]

Are we surprised by this? NO! He has LOVED WAR ALL HIS ADULT LIFE!
It is all he KNOWS!


****DELAY PASSING UNTIL AFTER ELECTIONS WHEN WE HAVE MORE CONTROL****
**************************THIS IS NOT THE OBAMA PLAN!**********************************

"NO TAXES FOR RICH FOR TWO YEARS!" WHAT "COOKS"

REPUB "COOKS" ARE GOING TO PAY ZERO TAX MONEY FOR NEXT TWO YEARS
WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED - THIS WILL COST FAR MORE THAN $700 BILLION!
WITH NO CONTROLS

VOTE NO PLEASE VOTE NO!


Tom Delay the old Repub House Leader said he wants the CAPITAL GAINS TAX REDUCED TO ZERO FOR TWO YEARS!

That would be the BIGGEST BAILOUT IN OUR HISTORY!

IT WOULD MAKE THE $700 BILLION LOOK LIKE A peanut!

ANOTHER REPUB TAKE FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS!

OBAMA CAN KISS HIS PACKAGES GOODBYE!

DON'T LET THEM DO THIS!

TO HECK WITH THE HOUSE REPUBS!

[avalanch112]

Forget two months. McCain pushed for Iraq ON 9-11. On the same day he pushed for war in iraq.

[Kindheart]

Then Iraq, tomorrow Iran, day after that, Russia.

We can't let this man control anything in our government.

[justoverit333]

don't forget Spain.

[Kay72403]

And then the rest of the world.

[NPA]

McCain talks more about the war in Vietnam than he spends time speaking of Afghanistan. He would refuse to attack Bin Liden in Pakistan with actionable intelligence. No WMD have been found. The attack on Iraq has emboldened Iran, Iraq enemy, now Iran is another problem. Bush and the GOP destablized the region instead of concentrating on the taliban and alqeada!

[sugarmoes]

that video looks like a DICK cheney puppet show....
