Good. Let's say for instance that they hyped it. Do you believe that Clinton hyped the evidence in 1998? Surely, after Bubba's hysterically unserious bombardment (to rid Iraq of its WMD and ability to transfer weapons to terrorists)Saddam had no reason to destroy those weapons.

Does it bother you that media scrutiny in such areas is only leveled at Republican Presidents?

Also since Saddam used them against Iran and the Kurds and had no compelling reason to rid himself of the weapons, don't you think it is likely that he had the weapons?

Another interesting question-- if the intelligence was fabricated or hyped, who was the culprit? Did the Mossad hype the intelligence to get us to get rid of Saddam (their biggest security threat) and if so, should we stop aid and weapon transfers, and institute sanctions?

Right before the war, if you recall, the Israelis said the WMD had been moved to Syria-- either it was moved there or they said that to get us to oust another rival and to conceal the fact that Saddam had no WMD?

Also could the Intelligence services that blew 9-11 also have falsely believed Saddam had WMD?

The question is: who do we believe Saddam or our Government?

By the way, will Dubya's push to compel the Israelis to make concessions make it more likely for the media to embellish this scandal and get him into political hot water?

Good questions all!

I agree, good questions all. Now we need good answers to them all. Delayed, behind closed doors investigations ran by the usual suspects is not going to give us any.

Time to put partisan politics aside and demand honest answers from both political parties. Too much riding on this to address it like a high school sporting event, rooting for the home team and screaming kill the ump is not a legitimate political philsophy.jmho
