I note that you bolded "WMD programs". Can you give me any reference to programs prior to the May 1st carrier strut. To the best of my knowledge the programs magically appeared only after the weapons (equally magically) disappeared. Interesting obfuscating word - programs. Could mean just about anything - e.g. massive infrastructure, detailed plans, copious supplies. But in fact none of this has been found. Apparently programs means some wistful dream of Saddam. Perhaps some dream he had while writing his romance novels. Additionally the Bush Admin also spelled out in detail that that Iraq was in egregious & repeated violations of numerous aspects of Resolution 1441 for more than a decade. Wasn't Resolution 1441 passed in the Fall of '02? This included Saddam's massive crimes against humanity. Worse than Myanmar? What's your opinion about the "cozying up" with Uzbekistan? The Bush Admin identified clear, irrefutable ties to terrorist organizations. Most of the Muslim world had relation with anti-Zionist organizations, but the Palestinian organizations had (for good strategic reasons) never been anti-American - just anti-Israel. their unmanned aerial vehicles Careful. You're going to fail that giggle test again. Etc, etc, etc, but this is getting tedious. I really surprised you'd bring up violations of 1441. That was after the decision had been made. In July of '02, according to Rice "the president has already decided what he's going to do on this". (see commondreams.org lurqer
