No, not an An Hominem as I was commenting on your lack of a strong point. I have no particular opinion of you personally as I don't know you.

Had he said we knew they bought and possessed it, perhaps your side would have agreed the threat needed acting upon.

Yes, if the intelligence community, the admin, the military, the Brits, etc. agreed that Saddam had weapons grade nuclear materials and missiles capable of delivering them outside of Iraq, it would have been easy to justify invasion. That's the entire point of the UN and most of the rest of the world...there was no proof of anything of the kind.

When the leader of the free world has to rely on a badly written forgery to justify invasion, that means he has no other supporting evidence.

In fact Wolfowitz doesn't claim to know one way or the other. Why do you lie like that? It is so weird!

When asked about 911 and Iraq in August of this year:

"Q: And when did you start to think that perhaps Iraq had something to do with it?

Wolfowitz: I’m not sure even now that I would say Iraq had something to do with it. "

Not only does the report that an attempt(unsuccessful) was made to buy material in Africa still stand

No one who has looked at the document the PPIC relied on thinks it's even remotely legitimate. It's such a bad forgery that it's laughable.

"National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said she feels "personal responsibility" for the flap over President Bush's State of the Union address, which included a discredited claim that Iraq had sought to buy uranium from Africa..."

I guess you didn't notice Kay's report said he's found that efforts were made to hide things. So you think it looks like...it looks I've got a bridge to sell ya.

"...But the professional inspector is now between a rock and a hard place.

He has so far failed to find evidence of these weapons he urged George W Bush to intervene to destroy.

And the pressure is increasing from an administration that is getting uneasy with the subject in the run-up, albeit long, to presidential elections next year.

There is also pressure from the American public which is beginning to show a whiff of scepticism that maybe they were misled them over the threat posed by Iraq.

From his talk of lethal weapons, Mr Kay is now being reported as saying Saddam might have deliberately exaggerated his "potential" to deter US intervention...."

Ooops.

Get a clue. You're relying on conspiracy theories and half-truths.
