How can the Intel from so many sources on WMD all be wrong?
Intentional???
easy answer --- They were NOT wrong!
Ditto.
So you're sure he never had them? Have you ever thought that he (Saddam) just might have transferred them to Syria or Iran before the war started? By the way, go and ask the Kurds if Saddam had any WMD.
one word - BLUFF.
It explains EVERYTHING.
Two possibilities. One is that they all got it wrong because they depended on the same sources for intelligence. This seems very unlikely to me. The second possibility is that they weren't all entirely wrong, that there were some stockpiles of weapons, and that these were moved out of Iraq.
(Your guys are going to lose. Accept it.)
Correct!! Don't forget the world's best agency, the Israelis were also convinced and presented credible data. It's just that Israel is so, you know, not cool with the liberals now.
I think you nailed it, this is zot bait, just no one bit yet.
General Frank's book comes out next week. I suggest you read it, because he deals with that issue. Apparently he was told by Mubarak of Egypt and Hussein of Jordan that Hussein had WMD's and it was confirmed by the Russians.
1... He really did have stockpiles - they are now buried and /or sold to Syria/ Arafatso / Iran / Korea / France / Massachusetts / who knows.
2... Saddam's people were making it all up to appease him. They took zillions of dollars and spent it on sand, and told him all kinds of success stories. So when intel talked to these people, they heard the same stories.
All righty...being French myself, I guess I won't be taxed of being an overzealous troll hunter here, but...isn't it a wee bit suspicious you, as a newbie, question the intelligence on which the operations in Iraq were decided ?
I don't think they are wrong. I think we're getting our info on a need to know basis and at this point we don't need to know.
Don't be suprised if many of the discredited stories about found WMDs and high profile captures turn out to be true. I think the constant push for info is comming from the democrats and clearly displays their lust for power as more important than national security.
Probably sent them to Afghanistan...
There was NO BLUFF - He had them, he was ready to use them - he realized what was about to happen and what WOULD happen if he used them - he moved them to Syria while the DEMOCRATS procrastinated on allowing the military to get them.
I would suspect the DNC (democrat party) collusion along with the CPUSA (communist party) and the DSP (democrat socialist party) and islam jihadists in the USA.
But who's bluffing??

Steplock is right. These WMDs went elsewhere, that is, Syria, Sudan and some to Libya.
