The issue is that: 1.) Mr. Bush presented his case for war to the US by saying that he had enough evidence to conclude that either Mr. Hussein or his cohorts could use WMD against the US. Mr. Bush's own team has concluded that claim was in error. 2.) Mr. Bush presented this evidence to the UN - evidence that was subsequently shown to be faulty and he was told so at the time by the lead UN weapons inspector among others. 3.) Not only did Mr. Bush's team error on the weapons assessment, but also on the assessment of Iraq's forces and the strength of the insurgency that would follow. They further underestimated the amount of cooperation they would get from Iraq's citizens. CONCLUSION: The assessment for war and post-war clean up was royally hosed. That doesn't mean that it won't turn out for the better in 10 years, but it means it wasn't a good decision at the time and probably based on bad information or not on all available information. If that were not true Mr. Bush would not have spent over $1 Billion of taxpayer money to find what he should've known wasn't there in the first place. Finally, if there was something, and it was moved, then Mr. Bush and his team screwed that up too; they shouldn't have let that happen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:143559 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
