The war wasn't started by a lie. Even though essentially all of the intelligence was generated during the Clinton adm. That's why the Clinton's and most Democrats supported the war. Clinton's CIA head told George Bush immediately before the war, the WMD evidence was a "slam dunk". Hmmm.......Clinton told Bush WMDs were a "slam dunk". You have quotes around slam dunk. Does that mean you were there and you heard Clinton say that to GW? And if so, what was your capacity in that meeting? Its amazing to me how many of you have personally interacted with Clinton and Bush. The Clinton administration said repeatedly there were active ties between Saddam and Al Qaeda - see the Clinton adm's indictment of OBL and Richard Clarke's public statements. There were even independent news stories on the subject in the late '90's. They did? Now I have to be careful here because I have never been in any of the meetings where this issue was discussed like you have. But everything I have read on this subject indicates that al Qaida operatives were only in northern Iraq which functioned as an anonymous province during the '90s. As I understand it, the secular Saddam and religious fundamentalist bin Laden could not stand each other. It makes sense but then your POV is quite different. Please explain.
