Yes. I don't know much about it and will take me time to investigate all the issues around it.

Oh.. I'm sorry.. I thought that the very reason you initially responded to this topic thread was do to Naji Sabri's discussion of Chemical Stockpiles:

Message 22389796

What is significant though, is that pro-invasion information, no matter how skimpy, no matter how poor of a forgery or how weak of a plagiarism managed to find its way to the highest levels but the anti-invasion opinions were scrutinized differently. Why was that? Shouldn't it have been the other way around?

Y'know.. my contention has always been that the reason information was "skimpy" was because Saddam was trying to hide what he was up to..

And when UNSCOM found that document in 1998 that stated Iraq had lied about the disposition of some 6,000 Chemical Warheads, they had originally claimed to have expended against Iran, it was pretty clear cut to me that the regime was not in compliance (and never would voluntarily be so).

So, we can agree that the Bush administration displayed a definite lack in their ability to make their case publicly.

But I contend that there was a case to be made. And I contend that the information we found from our research in Iraq, although still incomplete, confirms that Saddam's government was in material breach of UNSC resolutions and that they were involved in facilitating/conducting terrorist activities.

And I believe there is a growing case that Iraqi Intelligence may have had a hand in 9/11.
