You know, I'm reminded of Kenneth Pollack's treatment of Saddam's nuclear weapons program in his book THE GATHERING STORM. He claimed that international intelligence readily agreed that Saddam had adopted an accelerated nuke program in 1998, and that he could have an operational nuclear weapon by 2004 at the earliest. Interesting how this "international intelligence" community consensus is all of a sudden "wrong."

You know, that's an excellent point.

Everyone on the face of the planet signed on to the idea that Saddam had a nuke program and would have an operational nuke sometime this decade..

Now.. suddenly, there's been a 180 and we are told that Saddam never had nukes and we just invaded Iraq because we are big, arrogant, power mad, jerks.

Now, even if you DID buy into the "powermad jerk" theory.. What about the consensus that existed pror to the invasion?

Were they ALL wrong ALL along? Where are these people now and what are they saying?
