Also, your view fails to take into account that if we wanted to stop the spread of WMD's, Iran and N.Korea were obviously better targets.

3) The claim about the purchase of uranium from Niger proved to be hoaxed. CIA director George Tenet told the White House that the documents were false yet the White House continued to make the claim. Joe Wilson revealed the hoax. Then, in retaliation, a senior Bush administration official "outed" his wife Valerie Plame as a CIA agent, thus effectively ending her career in the field.

All of this is why I said that you were the victim of "obsolete propaganda."

the statement I made about WMD's being the reason we went into Iraq is NOT a mistake.. now they may not have been there but me saying that is why we went is correct.

there were 56 total people (according to CBS) in the entourage of people.. thats all?? in a country the size of Iraq? Thats acceptable to you? haha uh.... okay... when there were almost a thousand upto 1998... do you see a drastic difference in numbers? Also Saddam Hussein wouldnt allow them to move freely... they had to continually inspect the same areas that Saddam would allow them to inspect.. thats not inspecting so you can believe what you like.

The whole thing about the report of purchase of yellowcake from Niger wouldnt have even been an issue if good ole Billy Boy could kept his little Willy in his pants and Monica out from under his desk...
