"the best intel sources in the world" the CIA and the pentagon were at odds over this intelligence,and even if saddam did have WMD,there was still no reason to attack iraq,it was about regime change and oil,and dont say the USA invaded because saddam was killing his own people,they knew that back in the 80s when he was their friend,the massacre of the kurds brought up at saddams trial was in 1982,rumfield was pictured shaking saddams hand in 1984
