Quote:Bottom line, Saddam WAS complying
Quote:"I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." -- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003
and i don't need to repeat the same statements made by numerous others who agreed that Saddam was NOT complying and was playing a shell game with weapons that threatened our national security.
the statements i provided here show that most thought Iraq had far more than serin and mustard gas.
i wont disagree with you that Bush had a bloodlust for Iraq, but your premise that he lied, again would mean he is the only person who knew Iraq DIDNT have WMD. i would welcome a full investigation to try and prove otherwise.
Quote:many of these quotes were based on the dressed up intel bush was feeding them....
clinton had the same intel, and came to the same conclusions, and then 9/11 changed everything and people were emboldened to act.....and yes, perhaps too emotionally motivated.
