Subject: RE: BS: Most Iraquis better off
The fact is Gentlemen that none of the aforesaid reasons for going to war were enough to let the former president turn loose and be unscathed by the loyal opposition. Every time he did it was wag the dog! It seems to me and to many people that some truths were ignored, some were exaggerated, and some were purely fabricated. Why would the prez. believe an intelligence agency that lead us to bomb a milk factory, the Chinese Embassy, etc. Where was the intelligence agency when the World Trade Center got bombed once and then again on 9/11. Where was the intelligence agency when the USS COLE was bombed. It seems to me that there are/were too many intelligence failures for the prez. to trust their information so blindly.

And I say again:

Why were the numbers of Kurds and Shi'ites massacred by Saddam not good enough to justify taking him out way back when?
