THE Senate Intelligence Committee report on the intelligence failures gov erning run-up to the Iraq war is a devastating document — for those who might have thought the sole reason to go to war in 2003 was Saddam Hussein's presumed stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. The thing is, I don't know a single such person.
Those who supported the war, in overwhelming numbers, believed there were multiple justifications for it.
Those who opposed and oppose it, in equally overwhelming numbers, weren't swayed by the WMD arguments. Indeed, many of them had no difficulty opposing the war while believing that Saddam possessed vast quantities of such weapons.

Dear Peach,
You write, "FNC just reported that the Senate Intel Report says that AQ terrorists were training Iraqi Intelligence officers on how to attack the United States of America!!!!"
I think the Senate report says that Al Qaeda sought training from Iraq, not the other way around. However, I haven't read all of this report. Can you find the page where it supposedly says that Al qaeda trained the Iraqi services?
I have not read the report and am reporting what Brent Baer said tonight in the 6:00 hour evening FNC news hour.
It was astounding to me as well.
At this point it'd be leftovers, and you'd have to fight my husband for them. :o)
LOL... thanks for the morning laugh.... :)
