What IS going on...Now rummy says the invasion was never about weapons...this can't be real...this can't go on... Iraq war not about banned weapons: Rumsfeld 07/09/03: ( CBC New) WASHINGTON-- The United States didn't declare war on Iraq because of evidence of banned weapons, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said on Wednesday. Rumsfeld said the U.S. declared war because it saw existing evidence of Iraqi arms programs in "a dramatic new light," through the prism of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Rumsfeld made the comments in an appearance before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. On Tuesday, the White House acknowledged that U.S. President George Bush's claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa was based on forged information. Though Bush justified the invasion to topple former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein largely on his alleged chemical and biological weapons and possible pursuit of nuclear weapons, such arms have not been found in the 10 weeks after the war. Congressional committees are evaluating whether the administration may have used faulty or exaggerated intelligence on Iraq's weapons to justify the war. Rumsfeld also told the committee that talks were under way to increase NATO involvement in Iraq peacekeeping efforts. Written by CBC News Online © 2003 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
