Report Warned Bush Team About Intelligence Suspicions - New York Times
by Mike the Usurper at 12:57 am EST, Nov 6, 2005 |
The document, an intelligence report from February 2002, said it was probable that the prisoner, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, "was intentionally misleading the debriefers" in making claims about Iraqi support for Al Qaeda's work with illicit weapons.
Bluntly, it was recognized well before the war in Iraq started that it would have nothing to do with the war or terror. Since we also know that those WMDs were a lie, what then was the valid reason for going into Iraq? To put that in plainer terms, with no national security interest, those interests were being easily handled under the UN sanctions US presence in the gulf already, and certainly nothing amounting to either a clear or present danger, the war in Iraq is best classified as "waging agressive war." |

There is absolutely nothing about the lack of a direct connection between Al'Q and Iraq that demonstrates that the Iraq war had nothing to do with the war on terror. Shit ain't checkers man, its chess. |

Well if this is chess, these guys think the rules are the same as checkers. We're fighting on foreign soil, outnumbered and have created a war which will never end. I played chess competatively. If they play chess as poorly as they plan foreign affairs, I want to play them for some serious money. In a related story, Scott McClellan has been nominated for the 2005 "Bagdahd Bob" award. |
