Curveball is debriefed by German intelligence. His handlers will later tell the the Los Angeles Times that his information was "often vague, mostly secondhand and impossible to confirm." One senior official adds, "This was not substantial evidence.... We made clear we could not verify the things he said."
US agents in Germany never did a background check on Curveball, nor did they debrief him themselves until a year after the invasion. Nonetheless, President Bush and other senior US officials will publicly cite his claims repeatedly in the run-up to the war.

A Pentagon document dated March 5, 2001 and titled "Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts" includes a map of areas for potential exploration. It is brought to light by Ron Suskind in his book "The Price of Loyalty." "It talks about contractors around the world from, you know, 30-40 countries," Suskind will tell CBS. "And which ones have what intentions on oil in Iraq."

Mohammad Atta allegedly meets with senior Iraqi intelligence officials at the Iraqi embassy in Prague. The 9/11 Report (Section 7) will later debunk this claim: "The FBI has gathered evidence indicating that Atta was in Virginia Beach on April 4 (as evidenced by a bank surveillance camera photo), and in Coral Springs, Florida, on April 11, where he…leased an apartment. On April 6, 9, 10, and 11, Atta's cellular telephone was used numerous times to call various lodging establishments in Florida from cell sites within Florida… No evidence has been found that Atta was in the Czech Republic in April 2001." Dick Cheney will nevertheless repeatedly invoke the meeting as evidence of a link between Al Qaeda and Saddam.

The Energy Department proposes an alternative explanation for the aluminum tubes that CIA analyst "Joe" claims are for nuclear purposes. According to a later New York Times account, "It turned out, [the Department of Energy] reported, that Iraq had for years used high-strength aluminum tubes to make combustion chambers for slim rockets fired from launcher pods. Back in 1996, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency had even examined some of those tubes, also made of 7075-T6 aluminum, at a military complex, the Nasser metal fabrication plant in Baghdad, where the Iraqis acknowledged making rockets. According to the international agency, the rocket tubes, some 66,000 of them, were 900 millimeters in length, with a diameter of 81 millimeters and walls 3.3 millimeters thick. The tubes now sought by Iraq had precisely the same dimensions—a perfect match."

Condoleezza Rice says of Saddam, "We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt." However, she says, the administration will continue to apply "pressure.

I'm bored ... read the rest yourself...Lie By Lie

Seriously.. what did you hear him say?

I heard things of which you would not understand. Sacrifice, honor, and a future for the Iraqi people. I ask you one question. How many Iraqis have told you that the Iraq War is a mistake? How many have told you that they hate you? Have you ever actually met an Iraqi?


Didn't think so. It's easy to repeat the anti-war rhetoric that you hear. Every time you repeat it, you dishonor that young man in the video. The one that gave his leg in order to afford Iraqis the same freedom that you enjoy. They are grateful. Why aren't you?

This should have been titled Dear McCain!
McCain's Voting Record: He Does Not Support Our Troops and Veterans

 

[editec]

What does this prove?

It proves that this kid thinks his sacrifice was not in vain.

Okay.

Does it prove that America's sacrifice was not in vain?

Not really.

It's going to take a reconsitituted Iraqi regime friendly to the USA to even get close to making this war worth what America and Americans individually paid for it.

It could happen.

It hasn't happened yet, but it might.

I hope it does.

Why do we have some much ignorance in this country? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

Iraq was not a mistake - it was an illegal invasion. No nation, and particularly this nation, destroys a country that is not a threat to it or is not engaging in actions that make war morally permissible. When Iraq killed the Kurds they were the USA's allies. Hubris of the worst kind caused all these deaths and it came from men who did not even serve this nation, but shirked their own duties as citizens: Bush/Cheney.


Once Upon a Time...: Trapped in the Wrong Paradigm: Three Handy Rules

"I repeat: the entire war and occupation are immoral. If you criticize the Bush administration on the grounds that it "bungled" the war, this leaves one, and only one, inevitable implication: if they had prosecuted the war and occupation "competently," then you would have no complaints whatsoever. That is: you think the invasion and occupation of Iraq were justified and moral. If that's what you actually think, you belong in the Bush camp. You're arguing over managerial style, and about issues that are entirely trivial."


A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.

The Missing Moral Center: Murdering the Innocent

"If you have ever wondered how a serial murderer -- a murderer who is sane and fully aware of the acts he has committed -- can remain steadfastly convinced of his own moral superiority and show not even the slightest glimmer of remorse, you should not wonder any longer."

Demanding moral justification for what nations do is an exercise in futility.

Demanding compentence and good outcomes from them, however, isn't.

Un-fucking believable. Nobody can just thank this kid for his service , repect his opinion, and move on. I'm dissapointed.

I'm not. I expect the Liberal Scum here to express their hate of America and especially the Military whenever they get the chance. They never disappoint me.

gosh.. is it frustrating when no one but republican shills fall for the guilt trip associated with created bush martyrs?
