No, I've never claimed there is evidence to "no stockpiles existing." I've claimed that no stockpiles have been found and the fact nothing has been found is an intelligence failure. Kay came to the same conclusion. Condi Rice has come to the same conclusion.

Apparently you see NO intelligence failures in ANYTHING regarding WMD and Iraq.

Since we do not know what was being done with the WMD while the UN, France and Germany had us stalled in a diplomatic quagmire THAT is the intelligence failure. We did not know about the corruption in the UN "oil for food program" while it was going on, another intelligence failure! I believe he had them, what he did with them while he ignored 17 UN resolutions and during years of the debating society's debating, what was he doing with the WMD's? Was the Iraqi flagged cargo ship circling in the Indian Ocean anything? A myth?

Oops.

To: Coop
And I've read the Kay reports. Plain and simple. The stockpiles projected before the war have not surfaced and the available evidence points to these stockpiles not existing.

That is a very important intelligence failure due to Tenet's reliance upon UN inspectors, satellites, and intercepts and Tenet's failure to have folks on the ground.

Please clarify your response #175 to me, because that is what I took away from it.

Coop would be screaming bloody murder over intelligence failure if Bill Clinton was still President.
