And his volume of intel begs the question as to why we can't pin Iraq down on a single substantial violation. Eactly. If this were the war on drugs, there would be a couple of drug busts by now on that sort of intel. KEY POINT - this info [Iraq-AlQaeda connection] should be independently VERIFIABLE by Britain and France. So that it is not just US intel supporting a US agenda. You might be interested to hear that BBC has reported that a British intelligence report says there is no connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda. Sorry no links for now because the news I read was not in English but it should be available soon. that Iraq allowed Al Qaida to set up a camp post 911 in Northern Iraq Turkey knew for a long time that there were PKK camps in northern Iraq and Syria, and yet the world would be up in arms if they had invaded either countries over this. They did not, obviously...

Most of the early stuff was dubious and is mostly in the category of "see what he could do". And his volume of intel begs the question as to why we can't pin Iraq down on a single substantial violation. You've totally lost sight of what the U.N. resolution was all about. It was never intended to go in and find the needle in the haystack. It was to allow Iraq to prove that they had disposed of the weapons that we KNOW they had at the end of the gulf war and thereafter.
