The threat that the US put out for public consumption was NOT backed by other countries -- far from it

Here is one point (not the only one) where reality doesn't back you, so you part company from reality.

France and Russia vehemently opposed our intention to overthrow Saddam (we have a much better idea why, now that the Oil for Food records are public). Yet even they never tried to argue that the threat of Saddam's having CW and his working to get nukes was made up or exaggerated - why? Because their own intelligence services were telling them he had them, and trying to argue that a despot with a track record of using CW wouldn't use them in future, was a fool's argument.
