Quote:The US and others invaded Iraq because (almost) everybody in the free world in the current and previous administrations believed he had WMD and would use them.
I think that your post above was awesome, Fox. But your all reasoning lies upon the above quote for justification, and it ignores the fact that it wasn't 'almost everybody' who believed that Iraq had WMD and would use them.
There were many, many, many people who disagreed. I was one of them. The UN weapons inspectors were some of them. The US weapons inspectors were some of them. Many citizens of this country and other foreign countries, and many governements of foreign countries, did not believe this.
And we tried to tell you at the time. It didn't make a difference.
And I understand our alphabet agencies were telling us information as well. But, it's only half the story -
Quote:But the report, he said, would paint "only half the picture" because it wouldn't examine "the central issue of the administration's exaggerations of the intelligence that was provided to them."
"As the Intelligence Committee report to be released tomorrow will indicate, the CIA intelligence was way off, full of exaggerations and errors, mainly on weapons of mass destruction," Levin said. "But it was Vice President Cheney along with other policymakers who exaggerated the Iraq-al-Qaida relationship."

We (the people who didn't believe there was an imminent WMD threat in Iraq) knew they were lying back then, we know it now.
This throws the entire operation Iraqi Freedom into a dangerous moral quandry.
