FACT: Iraq did NOT have the stockpiles of WMD that George Bush said he did. You trying to quote sources, and find reasons for this fact doesn't change it.
FACT: ""So,therefore: one, we need to find out what went wrong in the intelligence gathering." Your posting of Bush's quote does not change the Fact that the central reasoning for going to war in Iraq was false. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Sam On Mon, 17 Jan 2005 21:14:19 -0400, Angel Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Iraq had the weapons according to the UN. Saddam agreed to destroy them to end the war but then reneged. According to Hans Blix the weapons Saddam was known to have were still missing and Saddam was still refusing to cooperate. This was a little over a month before the war and 12 years after he agreed to disarm. He had weapons, he used the weapons, and he refused to show he destroyed the weapons. Analogy: a known terrorist is spotted with a backpack in a crowded market in Israel. When he realizes he's recognized he yells they're only books and runs. Chances are he'll be shot. He actually said: "I felt like we'd find weapons of mass destruction — like many here in the United States, many around the world. The United Nations thought he had weapons of mass destruction," Bush told Walters. "So, therefore: one, we need to find out what went wrong in the intelligence gathering. … Saddam was dangerous and the world is safer without him in power."
