Thread Name: BS: Where are the WMDs?
Subject: RE: BS: Where are the WMDs?
Apologies hit the submit button too quick:
The last point that Carol makes,
"Without that lie, there are serious questions about whether or not he would have gotten that authorization from Congress."
Pure conjecture, based upon what Carol would have liked to have seen. The support the President got in both houses was greater than the support his father received for "Desert Storm". The massive support, current, at the time the President went to the Senate and House of Representatives was not solely based on the prospect of the Iraqi regime acquiring material from Niger - the important aspect was the perception that Iraq was still pursuing programmes directed at acquiring WMD, chemical/biological and nuclear.
