Interesting isn't it then, that they all believed Saddam surely had WMD's? Who is that "all" you talk about believing Saddam had WMDs. If all of them believed so then why did Colin Powell and his high powered team have to make a case for Iraq in the Security Council. Why is it the Security Council members including Mexico did not vote for US to go to war two months before the invasion? You just can't come to chat rooms and spread lies and propaganda such as the one you make. Who is that "all" you talk about.

>>Re: "Basically, most of the world was looking into a fog, and all the intelligence agencies, including our own, knew that." One wonders what this means. So all the intelligence agencies were seeing clearly, and were not in a fog, eh? Interesting isn't it then, that they all believed Saddam surely had WMD's?<< Dan - No, that's not what I meant. In rereading my sentence, I can see how it was unclear. But perhaps tt would have been clearer if you had paid more attention to the rest of the post. What I meant was that the world's intelligence agencies knew that they didn't have good information one way or the other. They were all looking into a fog. That includes our own, which is why all their reports were so full of, as I said before, "caveats and equivocations". - Allen
