CIA operative Tyler Drumheller said top White House officials simply brushed off the warning that "reliable intelligence" suggested Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, saying they were "no longer interested" in intelligence.

Ummmm...J. F'n Kerry needs to read the Senate Intelligence report...Drumheller is a liar:

An addenda to the Senate report on postwar findings about Iraq's WMD program says all the operational documents relating to Sabri indicate he told the CIA just the opposite of what Drumheller claimed. The Senate report refers to Sabri as a source with direct access to Saddam Hussein and his inner circle but does not name him.

"Both the operations cable and the intelligence report prepared for high-level policy-makers [based on interrogation of the source] said that while Saddam Hussein did not have a nuclear weapon, ‘he was aggressively and covertly developing such a weapon,'" the Senate report said.

The documents said "Iraq was producing and stockpiling chemical weapons," according to the addendum, signed by Sens. Pat Roberts, R–Kan., Orrin G. Hatch, R–Utah, and Saxby Chambliss, R–Ga. Iraq's weapon of last resort was mobile launched chemical weapons, which would be fired at enemy forces and Israel, the CIA documents said.

Moreover, there is "not a single document relating to this case which indicates that the source said Iraq had no WMD programs," the addenda said. "On the contrary, all of the information about this case so far indicates that the information from this source was that Iraq did have WMD programs."

What the source said was consistent with the CIA's October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, the report said. The report added: "The committee is still exploring why the former chief/EUR's public remarks differ so markedly from the documentation."

And this column by Kerry coming out today confirms the suspicions that I had yesterday, Kerry is trying to distance himself from the fact that he is a co-conspirator in this whole mess. It is common knowledge...but most people forgot...that Kerry was considering Armitage for a cabinet post in Defense:

A dark-horse candidate for defense, some said, is Richard L. Armitage, Bush's second in command at the State Department.

Kerry Exploring Cabinet Options

IMHO, before the Wilsons added Armitage to their lawsuit, they consulted with Kerry. Kerry just threw Armitage under the bus.

I encourage all to read and reply to this POS JfKerry Op/ED in the WSJ/Opinion Journal.com...they may or may not publish your response but can't hurt to do so, Just try to remain calm when replying.
My reply: Re: Forget Jack Bauer Comment:
Once again John Kerry proves that he will repeat any unsubstantiated information as long as it will do damage to the other party and villianize the USA. Amazingly he manages to forget that the Valerie Plame travesty has proven to be nothing more than an orchestrated attack on his political enemy and on all American citizens in a time of great external danger! For the WSJ to publish this fabrication is truly repulsive. I should think this op/ed should receive an interesting group of reader responses.
