Are you referring to all the anti-US politicians in the UK, France, Russia, and bureaucrats at the UN, who were directly bribed by Saddam Hussein through the oil for food scam? Somehow you forgot about them. And as Gruss said, it's a good thing we didn't let Georgia join, what a mess that would have been! > As for the UN resolution, if you're referring to the one before the invasion, > that was predicated on false information and a very deliberate campaign of > >deception. "deliberate" by who? That's a complete falsehood perpetuated by the Left to justify the world view that the US is the chief culprit in everything that goes wrong. Propaganda. The evidence is that everyone, including the White House, was misled about the evidence coming from Iraq, and of course, the ultimate culprit was Saddam, who in fact had used WMDs before, who we had good reason to believe would use WMDs again, and who, by his own admission, refused to cooperate with the UN inspections because he thought he could bluff his way out of the confrontation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266029 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
