You are asking us all to believe that the intelligence services of many nations, including those not friendly to us such as Germany and France, along with their governments, actively engaged in a conspiracy, without one leak ,prior to the war

And you're asking us to deny the statements of our own intelligence (CIA) just to support the logic forwarded by the President. Never mind the fact that British intelligence is now in question as well

I do not trust "unnamed CIA sources." Nor do I trust former CIA people with obvious political axes to grind who appear on talk shows.

France had a concerted interest in stopping the war. If they had disagreed with the possibility of WMD they would have said so. Instead, what they said was that their way of containing them was better.

Events will prove who is correct. I don't think you will be satisfied with the outcome.

What planet are you from?

You must be from some parallel universe where intelligence agencies always have perfect information about things that other people are desperately trying to keep secret.
