All they could say was that they were unaware of any. Iraq is a big place.

de Villespin never even said that, although France was trying desperately to prevent the war (and we know why). Whyever not, if French intelligence didn't believe that Saddam had WMDs?

The answer of course, is that French intelligence held the same beliefs about Iraq as every other country's intelligence, that Saddam's elaborate patterns of deception meant he had not given up WMDs.

If you have a link of de Villespin denying or even doubting that Saddam had WMDs, please supply it.

Bilow/Carl: Too bad we don't have a President as honest or as bright as you are -- look at many of the absolute statements made by Bush/Cheney/Wolfowitz and others during the build-up to the war -- they were not totally HONEST with The Senate or with our country...You would think CONgress would have the balls to impeach Leaders who LIE to our country about why we are going to war...There was NO IMMINENT THREAT coming from Iraq...Bush has jeopardized U.S. credibility around the world...On top of that we have wasted over $200 Billion fighting a war that we did not ever need to fight...Life's a series of compromises and I don't like the trade-offs this President has made. Why didn't Mr. Bush listen to The Pope who warned us about invading a country that had never attacked us.??.The Pope knew that tens of thousands of innocent people would be killed...Bush, Cheney, & The NeoCONS are like Cowboys -- they shoot first and ask questions later.
