"While Bush may have been badly misled by his own intelligence and other sources, he did not lie. He believed, and had good reason to believe, that the weapons existed."
Think about this.
EVERY intelligence service in the world believed Saddam had WMD. His arab neighbors thought he had WMD. The Clinton Administration said he had WMD. Refugees from Iraq said he had WMD.
We invade Iraq and "can't find" WMDs. Ergo, Saddam must have fooled the British inteligence, American intelligence under at least two Prisdents, his own people, all his neighbors and the intelligence networks of numerous other nations.
Does THAT sound plausible??? I don't think so.
He had them. We missed them. He got them out of there to Syria or even possibly Libya before we invaded or they are secreted somewhere in Iraq.
His own generals thought he had them.
