The question to ask is where did the info come from. Not just the stuff about the African uranium. We had NO decent intelligence info in Iraq. So who was supplying this crap to us? Why was Wolfkowich yammering for US to go after Iraq even on 9/11 such that people in the meetings had to tell him to shut up. This was not the time. Read Woodward's book about the events immediately following 9/11 through first year.

Zonder--Re:>>Your hero lied as well.<< Whether Blair lied or was wrong is difficult to determine. I choose to give the more benevolent interpretation. Nevertheless, Blair has helped rid the world of a saddistic (I'm aware of the sp)murderer who should have been held accountable by the UN. As more atrocities of Saddam become uncovered, I wonder why the UN (france)failed in its moral obligations. Certainly, its oil contracts, where the french kicked back money to Saddam, or the emerging story of Saddam contributing to Chirac's coffers may perhaps have influenced them. However, I'm more benevolent and can't imagine such venal motives in a world leader. fred
