Surprising as hell, they got snookered. Still we can go back to where did the weapons go? The smart money says Syria and that may be the reason the White House and democratic party (Hillary) want to keep Assad in power if he can do it himself. So we will not help him, nor do we seem to want to oppose hiim.Curveball ( an Iraqi-Iranian contact with links to the Iranian govt.) was largely involved in the deception. He told them what they wanted to hear..... I forgot his name, but was revealed after the fact.
Give it up hedge hog, Plame was not covert and her husband lied to Bush about the yellowcake in Niger. We covered this all last week. Weren't you paying attention? It would keep you from embarassing yourself if you kept up. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

The biggest liar was Saddam himself, claimed he had wmd. he was playing macho chicken when it backfired on him. I understand why he did it. It is an Arab macho thing to be seen as strong, not weak in the eyes of the arab world. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

the president took the country to war because saddam lied and punked him? any idea how sophomoric that actually sounds? .. might as well shit in W's soup and tell him its brown carrots..Previously you claimed "two" CIA agents had different info, and now you are claiming "several" CIA agents had different info -- you're suffering from "mission creep", CBJ7 -- but that's just because you are a creep. BTW, CBJ7, Saddam isn't the only "lying punk", it's obvious you are giving him a run for his money. Bush acted on poor intel, but on the other hand, you sure as hell are a liar.
as stupid as bush is its easy to believe some raghead punked his dumbass, but testimony by several CIA agents and the timelines involved cearly prove bush knew there was nothing to find ... exactly what we found. Originally Posted by CJ7

I like George. He was caught up in a bad situtation. Made a bad choice but hindsight is always 20/20. Originally Posted by WTF

Should be a campaign slogan for the GOP

If Saddam was running a bluff to convince the world that he had WMD's, when did not. If America invaded Iraq because we believed his bluff, then it was suicide by cop.I wouldn't call what Saddam did the equivalent of "suicide" by military". he clearly expected more bloviating from the bush administration rather than military action.
In a suicide by cop scenario, the police officer is not to blame. If someone points an unloaded gun at a police officer, the officer has every right to shoot the person pointing the unloaded gun at him. He has to assume the gun is loaded. America is not to blame for calling Saddam's bluff, if that's what it was. Originally Posted by joe bloe
