Iraqi scientist gave CIA information that should have prevented war

[Hugo Chavez]

AMMAN: When Saad Tawfiq watched then-US Secretary of state Colin Powell's presentation to the United Nations on February 5, 2003, he shed bitter tears as he realized he had risked his life and those of his loved ones for nothing. As one of Saddam Hussein's most gifted engineers, Tawfiq knew that the Iraqi dictator had shut down his nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs in 1995 - and he had told his handlers in US intelligence just that.

that is absolutely correct and when the CIA didn't provide the answers Bush wanted, the neocons put into motion a fake intelligence agency in the bowels of the pentagon to create the intellegence that would suffice them in a case for war with Iraq.  This is backed up by the downing street memos and confirmed in the frontline documentary, "The Dark Side" http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=116029.0

ah ha ... but you forgot the neo-con catch cry they're all liberals therefore they must be lying.

The president withheld information like this from the Congress.

So everybody in the government, "was not on the same page" as far as evidence of WMDs was concerned. 

That's ok.  We're winning in Iraq!

This Iraq debacle disgusts me.  It should disgust any american.  What's being done with our military runs counter to the kind of people we are and the kind of country we should be.

It's tough to sympathize with these people in Iraq, i.e. stand in their shoes for a moment, b/c the liberal media really doesn't show us what's going on there.  We get numbers or statistics but not a whole lot more.

U don't even need to lie...they read the Intel one way and other people say it another way. History was in favor of Bush..the CIA has never sucessfully predicted WMDs or nukes anyway....from anybody.
