Yes, but I'm still right!
I think you summed it up best when you called Hussein a nut. In his twisted world I'm sure he had some kind of rationale for failing to do this, perhaps to leave some doubt in Tehrans mind.
The doctrine of preemption was created in response to the UNs' unwillingness to invade Iraq and depose the Hussein regime. It explains why we are doing this without UN sanction. Look at the speech, it is an interesting read in light of what has and has not been discovered in iraq
More likely they were never there. A lot of claims are made, a lot of previous claims have turned out to be false. The parties most interested in this war are spinning their little hearts out, we just need to be careful not to step in it.
I got the Vice Presidents signed statement. What do you want him to do before you'll accept it, read it on television? Here's an ABC News story involving PNAC. . It is very much for real Lefty. Arguing otherwise is disregarding the facts. Cheny, Rumsfeld, et al do belong to it and they did sign those documents.
My,
you are a Republican, aren't you? That's why you look closely at the site that houses the document. In this case it is the conservative think tanks maintains the site and they have in this manner for at least 2 years.
Your describing a weapon. He's found referent strains in a bucket under a scientists roses. To get from the rose bush to your RPG is a long, complex and dangerous process. As for the Korean argument, no document was presented substantiating this statement...
If the document is ever presented, we can see if Dr. Kays' interpretation is accurate or speculation, like so much of the administrations case for the invasion of Iraq.
Lefty, Stuart Cohen is a retired CIA analyst who was hand-picked by my boy, George Tenet, to write a threat assesment for Iraq along with three others with similar backgrounds and dispositions. Cohen has been chosen as the front man for that crew. Bits and peices of the assesment have been leaked, we were discussing it in another thread. The actual document rates the probablility of things like, Iraq having an active chemical program. Every rating comes with a disclaimer that other agencies (most prominently, the CIA) don't support this claim, but since they put it in the back, GWB didn't read it. Their boss, Mr. T. can skate through Senate investigations like grass through a goose, his document warned the administration that Iraq might have begun to comply with the UN resolutions, it just wasn't the majority view. That's what they did to create the assesment, read analyses from multiple agencies and total them for a majority view. One source they used for analysis was the Office of Strategic Planning at the DOD. It's a three man crew run by Doug Feithe. He's a Rumsfeld appointee. Not familiar with the name??? Go back to the PNAC link and look for it on the signed documents, he's a member of that "think tank". He specifically is under sentate investigation and recently leaked his own "Case Closed" on some pre-war intell, picked up by the weaklystandard. The DOD, Mr Feithes' employer, immediately issued a release stating they did not support Mr. Feithes statements and the story died on the frontpages of that...publication.
Lefty, c'mon I beleive George T. is our overlord and PNAC is aggitating right now to finnish what they started in Iraq. You really think I'm not watching the battles in this quiet little war? If this ever spills over into the public domain (and it most certainly will in an election year) I think Feithe is a dead man walking (figuratively speaking, of course).As far as Cohen, he's a good soldier. Made a report with enough wiggle room to keep the hands of the CIA clean, gave the Administration enough information to make them dangerous. The result? The guy who runs Iraq is Mr. Ts' henchman, (ex?) CIA.
Nothing happens in a vacuum lefty. That's what makes it fun
