As my sources stated there was more than just two. There was many.
On the contrary - your sources stated that there were Iraqi members of Saddam's inner circle who told us Saddam didn't have anything, which was dismissed. Additionally, the article you cite on the IC
agrees with me that the IC got it wrong.
:doh I haven't been arguing we were
right, I have been arguing that we were wrong about ongoing production. Bush admitting that we were wrong about that does not mean that we were wrong about him maintaining some WMD and illegal missiles. All your article is is an agreement that the single claim of Nigerien yellow cake was based on bad sources, not that it was a deliberate falsehood - but that the data that we had at the time had since been superseded by other information.
However, I can't help but notice that this argument is a strawman, given that it does not address the fact that we did, in fact, find two tons of enriched uranium, though no ongoing nuclear program. Exactly as I have described.
As already been reported they are defunct weapons which most likely not operable.

After however many years of sitting on a shelf? Hopefully. I'm not quite sure how stable Iraqi Mustard/Sarin is. What is relevant, however, isn't that they are (hopefully) useless in 2014, what is relevant is that they were there in 2003.
Some people outside of DP took you seriously or something?
Yes, people outside DP take me seriously.
Are you done ranting? Just admit you were wrong.
I am not wrong. And this is also a strawman to avoid the fact that you are depending upon flawed reasoning. There was good reason to dismiss the words of Saddam loyalists just as there was good reason to dismiss the words of the Iraqi information minister, just as no one believes that Jay Carney in his role of White House Press Secretary would have deliberately damaged the position of the President, or failed to argue the administrations' case.
All your "facts" turned out to be a bunch of BS.
:lol: oh. So we didn't find two tons of uranium? We didn't find chemical weapons? We didn't find illegal missiles? We weren't wrong about the ongoing production program? There wasn't a CIA / DOE disagreement over the centrifuges? The INR wasn't the only main portion of the IC to dissent on the confidence levels? We didn't get a bunch of bad information from the Germans on the Bio program?
My facts are in order because I happen to have studied this case professionally. That's why I'm directing you to the post-mortem.
