It is slightly counterintuitive to assume the premise of this article against the great lengths that the Iraqis went to to infiltrate the UN inspection teams to learn their agendas in advance. What was so important then?
If you want to know what was so important to them, read the CIA analyst Charles Duelfer's report about WMDs. If he's right, then this is actually such a sad war that our soldiers and the Iraqi people are dying because of misperceptions built on lies. Here's a different take on the whole thing from (of all places) the liberal mecca of San Francisco. Turns out the critics of the war might have been right but not in the way they thought they were. Good food for thought anyway (if you're open minded enough to finally stop looking for WMDs that aren't there, probably not in Syria either).
