Crack Baby, Notice the way the WMD scamsters are always telling you cultists to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. "Look over here, dimwits, we'll show you something shiny. Ooh, isn't it kewl." <G>

re:Post-Iraq, the world's PROLIFErators are on the run."

Pardon me, but I don't see any reference to the Pakistani guy dealing with Saddam....I miss something? How come we didn't invade Pakistan, at least we would have had India as an ally in that one....?

re:"The news in his remarks is that the U.S. had prewar information "from a source who had direct access to Saddam and his inner circle" that Iraq had WMD."

Tenet Concedes Gaps in C.I.A. Data on Iraq Weapons
By DOUGLAS JEHL

Published: February 6, 2004

ASHINGTON, Feb. 5 — George J. Tenet, the director of central intelligence, acknowledged for the first time on Thursday that American spy agencies may have overestimated Iraq's illicit weapons capacities, in part because of a failure to penetrate the inner workings of the Iraqi government.....

......"We did not ourselves penetrate the inner sanctum," Mr. Tenet acknowledged, saying that American agents remained "on the periphery" of Iraq's illicit weapons activities. "What we did not collect ourselves, we evaluated as carefully as we could," he added. "Still, the lack of direct access to some of these sources created some risk — such is the nature of our business."
