No, he wasn't.
No, he wasn't.
As there is no evidence showing he was, we can not state he was. So, it is true.
No, he wasn't. He could never do anything to us and live. He wasn't crazy, and worried more about surviving than attacking us. So, you would be wrong on this point.
From a legal standpoint, no. UN mandates are a UN concern.
That was the ruling of the inspector general. But even without, using curveball, who was doubted by the CIA, using coerased testimoney that was dubted by the CIA, and using the heros in error who had betrayed with Iran once before, all with intel that was doubted, and it was the only intel not part of Clinton's intel, which reached a different conclusion, I do believe any reasopnable person would also conclude that the intel was used inappropriately.
The facts should speak for themselves. It's up to you to familiarize yourself with the facts before commenting.
I am fully familiar with the facts. I'm waiting for your side to catch up.
My intention is not to insult you, but you clearly cannot be taken seriously. And the pity is that there are just too many who really don't have a handle on the situation but feel qualified to respond anyway. We may as well be discussing extraterrestrials.
And yet that is what you try to do. What I have stated is factually supported. We had next to nothing to back Bush's claims. He used intel that was doubted by others. Saddam could not msuter any kind of serious threat. And was unlikely to do unless we invaed (also part of the record if you will remember). He did not have active programs or stockpiles, also part of the record. he could not be growing and gathering. He was well contained and was not working with al Qaeda, nor was he ever likely to as the two were enemies. I believe Powell was corect that we had the fever and wanted to believe. So, we accept anythign that is presented without asking critical questions. And some still want to believe despite the evidence. No stock piles were found. No working with al Qaeda proven (contacts are nto working together. We have contacts with our enemies, but that doesn't equal working with them). Nealry everything present has been found flawed and wanting. Some still bring up Salmon pak, but that proved not to bwe what it was claimed. Rev present a lot of disputed material above, which is why he won't link it.
This is an old debate. Most of us know the links. Lord knows they have been presented often enough. I used to save them and post the links over and over again. Perhaps people think enoyugh time has gone by that no one will remember them, so they can pretend they don't exist. i don't know. But, don't convince yourself I don't know this issue well.
