I don't get why the administration is not pointing out that (probably) reports like this rely on unfettered access that is available only as a result of our invasion.
Before Saddam climbed into his hole, these people didn't know any more than the President; and if they did, they withheld the information.
And I'm really getting tired of putzes like Edwards accusing Bush/Cheney of lies because of information that has turned up after the war, implying that they knew this information before the war and ignored it.
I hate these guys!
That has been one of my largest points of absolute outrage over the democrats handling of the war. 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing, and the 'rats needed a strong platform to run against Bush. Thus, we now have comments like "If I would have known
then what I know
now, I wouldn't have [gone to war]."
Comments like that are absolutely irrevalent. What inaccuracies we have uncovered since can not change what we've done (and I will always think it was right, we should have done it after at most the 10th resolution), so the comment is meaningless to any future action, except to bolster his supporters and obfuscate the real issues, such as Kerry has no gumption or backbone and changes his view with the current day's polls.
