You do know that Tenet was fired, right?? He's the one who, when questioned on the integrety of the intelligence, said it was a, "Slam dunk.". Remember that?
Now, lets assume for a minute that we had NO intellegence on Iraq at all. What evidence did the WORLD have to show that there were WMD in Iraq that may have been falling into the hands of those who might to the US harm???
THE IRAQI DECLARATIONS TO THE U.N.
Even if the intellegence was faulty, there was still the declarations made BY IRAQ to the U.N.
Additionally, talk about cherry picking information, what about the book recently published by a former Iraqi military leader that the WMD were spirited into Syria via commercial passenger liners & other means? I notice the media conveniently overlooks that. What about the IAEA report to the U.N. about finding radio active contaminated stainless steel being recycled in Europe & the paperwork that traced it back to .... Jordan, then Syria, then Iraq. The same report that documented the dismantling of entire buildings in suspected sites in Iraq - with satellite photos & everything. The media conveniently overlooked that too. Amazing...
Seriously now. With the documented use of the agents on his own people, the documented purchase of materials & supplies needed for the production of such agents, and the U.N.s own evidence and reports on suspected sites, attempted cover ups & obstruction by Iraq, and the sudden silence & dissappearance of the persons allegedly in charge of those programs in Iraq, do you seriously believe that there were no WMDs in Iraq??
