<You may chose to believe it all means nothing.> It does not add up to a top national security priority -- not by a long shot, and that has been my point from day one. We cannot afford to do everything. We must have priorities. Invading Iraq was pushed as a priority by a small group of well-placed people, not because of the threat that you presume "must" have been there hidden someplace, but rather because it fit the political and ideological agenda of the neocons and their partners, the Iraqi exiles who egged them on and who now want to reap the spoils of war through political and economic control of "the prize".
