I agree.
hahahahahaha! lol.....
yeah, I have those "links" too! but you all don't let them count for me either so................... lol
The future will always shape the foregone years. I.E. ...as a whole.. most now view the Clinton Presidency in a much favorable light than 5 or 6 years ago...
Iraq .. now 3.5 years old is shaping out to be one of the most embarrassing blunders in American History. One needs only to ask thy self a single question; why did we go into Iraq? Weapons of Mass Destruction? Do I believe Iraq had them? Possibly...after all ... the Intelligence reports before and after Bush were pretty much in agreement.
Klatuu,
In his heart, I think bush "thought" and "assumed" iraq had WMD. Many people did.
Where I take exception, is that I think Bush distorted the intelligence - deliberately. To sell his war. He and his cronies made statements like they "knew for a fact" and there was "simply no doubt" that he had WMD. They cherry-picked the intelligence, to give a false sense of "certainty" that he had wmd. He had control of the intelligence agencies, and had more access than members of congress did. If anyone should have known better, it should have been BUsh.
And there is no doubt in my mind, that bush deliberately hyped and exaggerated the iraqi "nuke program", and the alleged collaborative ties to al qaeda.

where do you get ''that'' from?
link please
http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2002_09/duelfer_sept02.asp
Pay particular attention to this part:
The link is from the person talking to the UN just previous to invasion. The link was from late 2002. Saying that they had "unfettered" access has been a cry of the left, however up to the point of entry the inspectors consistently complained about sites that were cleaned before they got there, that it was clear that somebody was informing them of where they were going next...
I'm not saying that there were WMD there or something, but there was a strong appearance by Iraq of working to "hide" something that created a feeling of inspection teams that they were not being forthright...

Damo, September 2002 was before the inspectors were even in Iraq, and before Resolution 1541 was even passed.
The inspectors weren't even in Iraq until around December of 2002.
Your link is irrelevant to the issue of the inspections, that were initiated in accordance with resolution 1541.
I have skimmed the report/article...it speaks MOSTLY OF PREVIOUS INSPECTIONS after the gulf war....
the flaws he found with unfettered access of having to notify the airport where the inspectors are flying in to is something these inspectors FACE in every country that they go in to inspect, no?
Chief Inspectors Report to UN, March 7 2003:
Inspections in Iraq resumed on 27 November 2002. In matters relating to process, notably prompt access to sites, we have faced relatively few difficulties and certainly much less than those that were faced by UNSCOM in the period 1991 to 1998. This may well be due to the strong outside pressure.

Much of the State of the Union Address covered the fact that inspectors reported being obfuscated and not having unfettered access. Again in February those same reports were brought...
http://www.mideastweb.org/inspectionreports.htm
While we know that they were misled by intelligence on WMD, nobody has suggested they were "lying" about those reports...
I'm still getting stories from back then. Actual news sources are tough to find while there are a ton of opinion pieces on the subject....
You put that in quotation marks, like care actually said that. She didn't.
Here's what she really said:
WHAT? Bush pulled out our inspectors right before he attacked Saddam...
That's a pretty accurate statement by care. And toby was flat out lying.
Saddam didn't kick the inspectors out, Blix reported that they had reasonably good and adequate access (if not 100% perfect), and Bush nevertheless requested that the inspectors be "pulled" out.
I put it in quotes not because I thought Care said it but to show what I was supporting... Bush informed the UN he was going in and asked them to remove the inspectors. Only the lefties, particularly you and Desh, can find contention in agreement.
And before you get all into "Quotations are for quotes" crap, remember this is a messageboard and not your English 305 class in College.
And I stated that WHO requested that the inpectors leave? Do you remember my post at all or do you really WORK THAT HARD to find contention where none exists?
