the justification was contrived, which some of us didn't "know."
The author of the Downing Street memo seems ambiguous on this point. On the one hand, he admits that everybody thought Saddam had WMD, not just us but the Brits, the French, the Russians, etc., etc., etc. And then he gets sort of accusatory.
Well, you know my opinion, which is that it's the craziest damndest failure of intelligence I ever saw, and last time I got your opinion, you still think they had WMD but snuck them out of the country. Neither of us believe it was a pretext.
Edit: sorry, thought I was posting to Nadine. I don't really know what you think. |
