The fact of the matter is the entire world community, based on independent intelligence, came to the same conclusion we did. The prior administration also came to the same conclusion based on intelligence gathered over the previous 12 years.
Is every major intelligence agency in the world a liar too? Is Clinton a liar too?
UN resolution 1441 was crafted to give the allies a legal way of enforcing the cease fire agreement. That it was crafted in the UN is moot. It was crafted by the allies and the UN used as a legal entity from which to issue such an agreement. Again, you know nothing about this except the partisan revisionist BS you've been fed. The problem is, some of us can not only think for ourselves, we also can remember very recent history and won't fall for the BS from those who think they can rewrite history so soon after it happening.
Only a naive sheep would believe other governments' affirmations of "WMD's" in Iraq. How convenient, all of these nations are United States suckups. Russia? Are you kidding me? Do you know what they stand to lose by
not agreeing with the US? You listed 2 nations (who suckup to us), and think that translates into "every major intelligence agency in the world"? More examples please, 2 countries is not the "world". I don't think you can count Russia as reliable intelligence anyhow.
This US Administration does not view itself as part of the UN after turning their back on them, so don't use 1441 as justification to invade Iraq. IF the US would have waited for a vote from the UN before the war in Iraq, and gathered world support, then I can see your point. But that didn't happen. I sit in awe of your logic.
I sit in awe of your lack of proof of deception. You want it to be lies, therefore it is... even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. That is your entire argument minus the silly insults.
And no, not all the intelligence agencies who came to the same conclusions we did were "suck ups." In fact, the months long debate was NOT even over whether or not they had WMDs, but how to go about resolving the issue. Not even France debated the point of WMDs before the war.
BTW, I see you still conveniently skip over the fact that Clinton and his admin had come to the SAME conclusion based on their intelligence. So is Clinton a liar too?
Finally, again, you miss the point of 1441. It had NOTHING to do with the UN other than the fact that the US used the UN as the legal entity from which to issue it. All it did was give the US the legal right to enforce the cease fire agreement that Saddam broke for 12 long years.
I'll tell you what, when you have proof of deception, let me know. As it stands now, too many independant sources came to the same conclusion, including countries that opposed the war and Bush's political rivals. That alone is proof enough of a negative... even though I don't have a damn thing to prove, since the burden is on you to prove your claims.
