Hi stockman_scott; I am stunned, stunned, that Ken Pollack admitted that there were errors in his estimates of Iraq's weapons. My only complaint about his only slightly self-serving article is that he ignores the evidence from late 2003 and 2004 that Saddam truly had no WMDs. Saddam not only allowed the return of inspectors, but begged for them.

All during that time, the neocons claimed that because of 9/11, "this time it's different", and that we had to disarm Iraq instead of waiting. But they ignored the implication of their own logic. If "this time it's different" for the US, it was even more so for Iraq, so their compliance was easy to predict. And when the Iraqis did comply, the lying bastards told us that the Iraqis were the ones that were lying, and that they had secret information to prove it.
