Pentagon officials met over a three-day period in late 2001 with a long-discredited Iranian who was a middleman in the Iran-Contra scandal, Defense Department officials said Friday.
Manucher Ghorbanifar sat in on a series of meetings in Europe between two defense officials and two other Iranians who the Bush administration had been told had information useful to the United States in its then-fledgling global war on terrorism, a senior defense official said on condition of anonymity. The meetings occurred not long after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he said.

What case for war? Make it? I would love to see that for a change. Rather than me being anti war, Make the case for war in Iraq now with everything we Know.

OK I'll give it a go. Did Iraq prove that they had in fact disarmed in accordance with cease fire agreement from the First Gulf War? The answer to that in my mind is simple. No they didn't!!! They broke the cease fire agreement and hostilities resumed. Plain and simple that's the case.

Why don't we let Mr. Kay lead us to the stockpiles of WMD's since he has said he is "close".We'll revisit that issue when he does, and he will. In the meantime, you're on the wrong forum....I think DU is more your style.
