I believe that Rockefeller's own confessed statment to Syria goes far beyond anything that was even hinted at by the WH until late summer of 2002, so Rockefeller gave Syria (and Saddam) a heads-up of at least 7-8 extra months to prepare, and probably more confidence about where the WH was headed than they would otherwise have had until winter 2002-03. I thought one of the worst aspects of the loooooonggggg run-up to the war (forced by people demanding we cater to the UN crowd) was that it gave Saddam ample time to prepare whatever he wanted to..... including (very likely) hiding and/or removing WMDs to Syria. Also, there may well have been increased training and resource programs such as the "Saddam Fedayeen" and other "irregulars" prepared by Saddam's regime to fight a terror-style campaign against US and coalition forces. So, the great Senator Rockefeller, conducting his own private foreign policy, has a lot to answer for.
You bet that Rockefeller has a lot to answer for...but, he never will (have to answer for it)....because democrats NEVER have to pay for their lies and treason....look at the Clintons...
Bill Clinton was named the most powerful man in the world by some magazine today...he and Hillary are over backstabbing Bush to King Abduallah...and the others in the Middle East...
Kennedy, a murderer.....Kerry a treasonous liar---still in the Senate.
George Bush tell the truth as told to him and as he sees it in order to protect the US....and is labeled a liar for what 4 years....and NO ONE of import and stood up and disputed that. What a shame.
