When the CIA tells me that Saddam was toothless

Oh.

Where did you get that pearl?

The best history I've read of the run-up to the war is Carl Woodward's.

He has several folks quoting Tenet at meetings with W that the WMD issue was "a slam dunk." Tenet is said to have accompanied his statements with the appropriately assertive physical gestures.

Did you read Woodward's book or have you conveniently forgotten that aspect of it?

Or are you so one-sided you fail to consider a contrary view?

I'll grant you that there are other versions which support what you say, but not on WMD.

Given these uncertainties, why are you so certain? Got a pipeline to The Truth?
