Ok you guys convinced me. I guess I got sucked in by the media.
I just turned on FOX, and caught snippets, after I read this article.
Having said that, I'm still ticked that the CIA was so far off on their assessment of WMD developement.
A far more convincing reason to go to war with Iraq was the terrorists that clearly are there, rather than WMD's which don't appear to be.
But the CIA was focused on WMD's and now that is the focus, rather than the terrorists. Misdirected focus, imo.
Maybe I've read too many Clancy novels, but I thought the CIA had better intel than this.
Regards.
The rocket launchers don't appear to be there either,at least we can't seem to find them. The terrorists seem to have no problem shooting rockets, I wonder how they do it? They also seem to have plenty of explosive materials that we just can't seem to find. It obviously isn't that easy to find small caches of weapons in a country the size of Iraq. We can't even find the source of Anthrax in our own country.
The real problem I have is the democrats will play up this alleged intellegence failure as President Bush lied. They are trying to affect public opinion against the war in Iraq. This is treasonous to me. I'm not sure why the rest of the American population doen't see this
The media and the Democrats have been spouting this assumption for the last couple of weeks, but do we know this for a FACT?
David Kay said there were likely no WMD in Iraq NOW, but isn't it likely that they could have been removed from Iraq before the war? My guess is that there are stockpiles (which BTW, may be quite small in actual size) sitting in Syria, Lebanon, or Iran right now.
