Exactly. When GWB says that what was accomplished in his administration will be written by historians in 50 years, he isn't kidding.
It will be written! And the half is not even told. The CIA have been there for "years" inside Iraq by all means of "intel", moles, double agents, bussiness partners, you k=name it. The US knows whos hands have been in the cookie jar what leaders of nations are "dirty". This situation now has the potential to blow up . Its one thing to be trade partners with another nation, but this WMD is the very thing that Putin is trying to detach himself from. If this story does'nt go away I believe some heads will roll from the Kremlin down for this "goof up".
George Tenent wanted to "name names" to prove we knew who and what Iraq had and who was invloved . Did we want stronger and more accurate Intel after 911? Thats what they gave us... but some may have thought that would bring us to the brink of WW3 to name the players. SO we Just liberate Iraq and keep the wolrd in one piece.
