I'm wondering where you get your news and info from. CNN? - Who admitted they didn't report the truth from Iraq for over ten years after the Gulf war out of fear of what Saddam's regime would do to their reporters. The UN? - With higher-ups making fortunes off the oil-for-food corruption. The French? - With military, weapon's deals and financial reasons to try to stop our Iraqi invasion through the UN. Joe Wilson? - A partisan with an obvious agenda.
Yes, the Niger docs were fake. That's really old news. Did you ever think that maybe the French faked them on purpose to sabotage an Iraqi invasion? Those were worse fakes than Rather's. They were supposed to be seen as fakes. The Brits still insist Iraq went to Niger in 1999, when Niger and the French were selling Yellowcake to Libya. Wilson didn't disprove or prove anything period! How come he said the Niger documents were fake 8 months before anyone knew they were? Maybe he was involved in or knew of the forgeries to undermine Bush, the Brits and American intel.
"Al Baradie or whatever his name is wrote off nuclear entirely." - I wouldn't believe this guy if he said 2+2=4. The Pat Buchanan article is over 2 years old. It'd be interesting to see what he thinks now. Of course he's anti-war and also has an agenda. But I must admit, his agenda confuses me.
As far as removal of WMD's from a country that Russia trades with and supplies weapons to, they have been working on this for many years and may be the best in the world at it. My ability to link articles is very limited due to a TV computer attachment system. But, I will try to find the Russian general's statement's where you can do a simple search on google or FR.
