A justification for the war?

That's big of Kerrey, but the fact is we'd been at war with Iraq from the first time Iraq violated the cease fire agreement they signed.

Gosh am I getting sick of all this coverage of the released documents in the MSM.  I mean, I can't pick up a copy of the NYT/WP or tune into a national news broadcast without being bombarded with the details unearthed here.

Yeah. Once he gets his face time, look for the story to die.

... the fact is we'd been at war with Iraq from the first time Iraq violated the cease fire agreement they signed.

I completely agree and emphasized that this should have been the primary rationale by the Administration before the war. It still should be, but their message is now muddied. It would help if the Administration were to refocus on this essential message.

"but the fact is we'd been at war with Iraq from the first time Iraq violated the cease fire agreement they signed."

THANK YOU! Too many libs want to pretend Bush was claiming the war was in retaliation for 9/11 and that was never the case.

[Doogle]

The former Democratic senator said the documents do not show a direct link between former Iraqi President Saddam Hus0sein and the September 11, 2001

..and the 9/11 commission showed no direct link between itself and reality

It really ticks off the French. And as far as I'm concerned, that's all the justification we need.

That's big of Kerrey,

That fits right in with his big ego. I imagine that Kerrey must be worried that more pro-War news is going to come out soon and this is a defensive maneuver.

[mewzilla]

Yup. Maybe he's been grtting an eyeful of jveritas' translations :)

But do Republicans and the Bush administration shout the news to the American public? Answer: NO NO NO.

Apparently, no defense is a good defense.

[pissant]

They do not need to shout it. They will let it trickle to a juggernaut status before the elections.

[eyespysomething]

Dang, you trolls are out in force today. DId you like the NYT article on the prewardocs? Wanna be on my ping list?

[eyespysomething]

wah wah wah!! LOL!

[eyespysomething]

What if someone on the web claimed that some of these documents stated that the 9-11 attacks were carried out by the US military in order to justify an invasion? FauxNews and all you freepers would first question the accuracy of the translation. Then you would claim the document was fake. Then you would claim that even if real, it was just raw, unalyzed intel that should be weighed against the totality of evidence. And, for perhaps the first time, you would be correct on all counts. Try using the same standards when right-wingers claim their translation of unverified documents prove the Iraq fiasco was necessary.

Posting the whiney rant for all too see after it's disappeared!

[Also, a poll of US troops revealed that a vast majority of US troops there believe that they are there because Saddam was involved with 9-11. Where'd they get that idea? Um, how about the same misinformation campaign that had 70% of Americans believing Saddam was involved in 9-11?]

BS
