You see I did not think we ever ever should have gone in there. Given 9/11 and the way Saddam was acting...Bush really had no choice in light of the prevailing intel estimates on WMDs in Iraq.... I though our efforts should have been on OBL.. This is a silly canard. The US efforts to capture OBL have been continuing since BEFORE the Afghan invasion......as President Biush has stated...OBL is not the only worry we have...this is a multi-front, multi-effort battle being waged. Efforts continue to the present day to hunt him down.... I also did not believe that there were weapons of MD.. Hard to understand how you reached such a conclusion given that every major intel service on the globe though he had them. Most likely this is hindsight on your part. and I did not believe that Saddam posed a threat to us. Agian, you do know that Saddma refused to comply with thew 1991 Gulf War accords and was shooting at our planes in the no-fly zones on a daily basis? Now, unless you have stayed with you biases you know now or should know that all this was propaganda or MIS information( to be kind) that has now proved to be false. And so what do we do now.? "Faulty intel assessments do not equate to "propaganda" nor misinformation". They may have been wrong.....we don't know how wrong yet.....as you may recall, with a full inspection regime in place following the '91 war....it took four years to uncover the extent of the WMD programs in Iraq......
