No one in the Bush administration said anything about Saddam having WMD that wasn’t also said by Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Madelyn Albright, Defense Sec. Cohen, etc. Liberals have selective memory on Saddam and WMD.



You mean intelligence that was cooked by Cheney & Co. (there’s a reason why he visited Langley so often and set up a separate intelligence service under the umbrella of the Pentagon).

There were intelligence officers who refuted or at least had big doubts about the claims put out by the administration, but such views were squashed.

And remember, Cheney still claims that Saddam had a relationship w/ al Qaeda.

As for Feith, he is a complete joke – he still thinks handing power to Chalabi (who is nothing but total scum) immediately would have been the best step.

Yeah, Saddam was a real threat to the US.

Heck, even if he had WMDs, he was too scared to give any to terrorist groups like Hamas since he knew the Israelis would nuke him out of existence (like most petty dictators, his main interest is preserving his rule and his comfy lifestyle).

Instead, Saddam resorted to “donating” money to the families of suicide bombers – which was just show and propaganda.

Captured Iraqi documents showed that Saddam thought that his biggest enemy and threat was …Iran (probably the only nation to come out ahead of all this mess).
