Third, the real war on terror has to begin somewhere, and it has.......

Well at least that is a core component to the argument at hand. Iraq is not the central front, it is a side show.

100 - 200 thousand troops and support personel or more -- don't forget to count those in the US and elsewhere out of theatre which support the overseas action -- are tied up with Iraq.

Don't act surprised when a new front opens up while all that firepower and capability is distracted guarding the destroyed remains of what was a toothless regime.

So far there is nothing to prove dishonesty, rather than faulty intelligence

What was once a matter of opinion (yours, not shared by me) is rapidly reaching concrete fact (deception and dishonesty). Its only a matter of time.
