Junior and Rumsfeld were determined to launch the war before it was shown that the weapons were gone because they knew there were no weapons to find. Doesn't that beg the question of how they knew? After all, it was in the interest of both the French and Russian intelligence services to prove that Iraq possessed no WMDs. And they could have provided that intelligence to the UNSC/Inspectors/Blix... Certainly Blix had many resouces from various intelligence services to rely upon. But NONE of them could prove that Iraq didn't possess WMDs. Thus, for you to claim that Bush knew is ridiculous. It would not be in his interest to push the WMD issue as much as he did. He would have better emphasized merely forcing the UN and Iraq to satisfy the conditions of the past UNSC resolutions, as well as 1441. Hindsight is 20/20.. Just a little above your IQ's numerical value were that perceived as the real value of its fractional form. Hawk
