Re: Iraqi forces losing 'will to fight' against ISIS
And why did this 'harsh dictator' so suddenly need removing using massive force post 9/11 ? Why not anytime in the previous decade ?
Please provide your evidence that these sources have misrepresented what was stated and done to engineer the Iraq war ?
Brennan clearly had some very deep reservations about what was going on at the time and said so. If he was misquoted then please illustrate that fact
I do not think I said, what you insinuate. Of course there were consequences of removing a harsh dictator. And we did not do a sufficient job of making peace and stability. And yes, the snippets sound like there had been grounds to want to be easy on the dictator at the time of the statements. And? So what? That has nothing to do with it.
Does that mean that the decision to enforce the Resolution was wrong?
Does it mean that Saddam was not acting against the Security Council demands?
Does it mean that Saddam was not hiding the fact from the UN that he had no more wmd?

And really now. If you want to use information as proof and want people to read it, use unbiased sources.

And please something more valid than second hand opinion. And by that I do not mean the opinion out of context by someone like Brennan, who is there describing a very normal occurrence in large organizations. Of course there was pressure. There is always pressure for results.
