No, we don't agree at all! You said "Do you really believe the Israelis would have allowed Saddam to exist" - as if Israel could have removed Saddam if it chose, as if Israel could have done what the US just sent 140,000 soldiers to do. That's total nonsense.

<i<>The issue was about the credibility of intelligence agencies. Hawk seemed to indicate that there was agreement between the intelligence agencies on the planet that Iraq had a large arsenal of WMDs.

No.. what I DID say was that intelligence agencies around the world were in agreement that Saddam was in material breach of his disarmament obligations.

The 15-0 vote for UNSC 1441 clearly expressed that belief.

After all, would the intelligence service of a UNSC member permit its representative to vote that Iraq was in material breach if they had exculpatory evidence to the contrary?
