Thread Name: BS: Well, looky here... (Iraqi WMDs)
Subject: RE: BS: Well, looky here...
I was showing what the governments had to base their decisions upon. IT DOES NOT MATTER if the report is flawed- it is what they knew at the time. Hindsight is always 20/20. The original topic of this thread was the WMDs which are being found TODAY. You are right in that I have not seen what of this report has been false. I would expect that, when the WMDs were not found ( or "acceptable" ones were not found) that all the governments involved would backpedal, and try to indicate they were given faulty inteligence. This does not mean that the weapons are not there, or are not being found- it is political spin to make themselves look better.

WHat exactly was proven to be false in this report? The fact that Iraq had used WMD? The fact that Iraq had long-range missiles? The fact that large amounts of prohibited materials were unaccounted for after 12 years of UN inspections?
