Brilliant GUEST 23 Mar 04 - 09:56 AM,

Here it is - All summed up in the following:

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan stressed Wednesday that Bush administration officials never claimed any Iraq-Sept. 11 link. McClellan's assertion appears to be factually correct.

FACTUALLY CORRECT - Do those two words mean anything to you Guest?

Now what was it that Jimmy Carter was wandering the globe telling anyone who wanted to hear:

"That was a war based on lies and misinterpretations from London and Washington, claiming falsely that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11,"

Thank you very much Guest, please by all means run with opinion and theory, I am perfectly content with the facts of the matter.

For my own part having followed this topic from the start can clearly and honestly state the following:

1. I do not consider that I have at any time been deliberately lied to, or misled.

2. I have been under the impression, formed within days of the attacks of 9/11, that the current American administration firmly believed that Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi government had absolutely nothing to do with those attacks.

3. That the United Nations and member states firmly believed that Saddam Hussein and his Ba'athist regime did possess WMD and had programmes active in the development of those weapons and of delivery systems to employ them.

4. That under the terms of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441, military action against the regime of Saddam Hussein was necessary and justified.
