It's entirely possible that the WMD info was inaccurate--but that does not mean that GWB was lying--it means the informants were wrong, or that THEY were lying. Big difference.<br><br>GWB did not get a signed confession from SH. Surprise!!<br><br>HOWEVER--I do not think that the citizens of the US bought into "emplacing Democracy" in Iraq. We bought into wiping out SH and his cretins, snatching the WMD's, and blasting AlQuaeda to smithereens.<br><br>Thus the current difficulty.Dad29http://www.blogger.com/profile/08162123490263484981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417114695005885320.post-59004781121043996082006-12-03T19:12:00.000-06:002006-12-03T19:12:00.000-06:00Daddio, you confuse yourself.

You seem iffy.<br><br>Later, though, in points 5 and 6, Saddam-baby has WMDs. So which is it?<br><br>Come on ... the fact is that he made a lot of noise about WMDs but not a one has ever been found. Nor has any evidence been found that WMDs were manufactured or maintained. And there is no eveidence that Syria is babysitting them.<br><br>That's pipe dreams daddio ... smoking some good stuff though.Other Sidenoreply@blogger.com
