Iraqi Defector Admits Lying About WMD to Topple Saddam Hussein

#4  Chalabi said more or less the same thing. He lied his ass off telling folks whatever he felt would help them justify removing Saddam. Doesn't mean WMD weren't there, it just means the person in question probably had no actual knowledge.

#3  Just ignore these warheads. Nothing here to see. Move along. Beside they're just degraded from 'military' standards. You won't worry about them being stored next door would you? /rhet question

#2  What Sam3rd said. Rumsfeld said as much on the recent talk circuit--even the UN had verification of massive amounts of WMD's that they couldn't account for or show evidence of destruction. They could very well have them in Syria right now just as Iranian warships cross the Suez to dock there. And Latakia is home to Binny's maternal clan and his childhood playground. I'm afraid the Left is going to regret the smear Bush campaign someday but there is no satisfaction in proving them wrong if WMD's destroy us for the next 500 milleniums.

#1  1st, I don't really believe that all the West's intelligence agencies relied on just 1 person's talk about WMD.
2nd, I think that Bush was absolutely correct in invading Iraq; that put a pro-democracy, anti-despot government in between Iran, Syria, and Lebannon (Hizbellah); which was putting enormous pressure on them.
Unfortunately, the BDS of the Democrats, media, Leftist, Communists, etc. saw the Iraq war as a method of destroying Bush rather than an opportunity to better the world.
