Dan, love the phony WMD story Santorum and Fox put out today? Immediately shot down as completely phony by experts. Karl Rove in action trying to excite gullible guys like you. using Santorum as the chief liar, as Santorum is a goner anyway. Lies upon lies then more lies.

>>So I'll put it this way. We know they all (intelligence agencies) said they felt Saddam had WMD's. What I know is that this belief as reported the world over, was either stated due to foggy thinking, or it was falsely stated despite an awareness that nothing of the kind was known at all. This second option implies a seemingly unlikely world wide conspiracy to falsely report. The former option implies a seemingly unlikely widespread common fog of delusion among the world's intelligence agencies.<< Dan - Here's the thing. We don't know that all the intelligence agencies said they felt Saddam had WMD. We know that their reports were full of words like "might" and "could", and indications that the intelligence was not solid. Conservatives keep saying "everyone thought so", but that is at best filtering the history, if not rewriting it. It was the Bush administration that took that information, ignored the warnings that the evidence wasn't conclusive, and then stated categorically that they "knew" not only that he had WMD, but that they knew where they were. - Allen
