No, (it seems) they show that Jack Straw thought that the grounds for invasion were too thin, given that he thought Hussein would need to enact another Kuwait-style invasion of a neighboring country before the UN would EVER sanction force against him.

Please show some proof where Bush actively and intentionally manipulated intelligence; not some vague reference made in a daily rag, either. Give me something I can sink my teeth into.



They got squat, much like a certain major network and some faked paperwork.



Oh, yeah? Read the memo:

The Downing Street memo.

In the memo, our pals the Brits clearly say that Bush had decided to go to war, and he was busily manipulating the "intelligence" to justify it. Read the part where it says: "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
