That’s pretty clear to me, and consistent with the case I remember the administration making. Numerous critics in fact contested the idea that Sadaam was engaged in terror. The skulls and corpses above prove them wrong.
Personally I think the evidence of WMD as well as manufacturing facilities will be there. Their destruction and/or transfer in no way brings Sadaam into compliance, and in six months I think we’ll know the answers to that too.
Intelligence, whether faulty or correct, is a related but separate issue. As far back as November Rumsfeld indicated that a thorough analysis of our intelligence performance in Iraq should be undertaken, regardless of the validity of our conclusions. Given our poor performance in that realm the last decade, I’d say that makes sense, and let the chips fall where they may. If it turns out our intelligence effort was defective, that merits outrage, but comes nowhere near suggesting we engaged in war under false pretences. To do that you need to prove to me that we knew Sadaam had complied with the various UN resolutions (laughable on it’s face), but the administration withheld the information.
