Anyway, there are two facts that render the report irrelevant. The first is that Iraq was a totalitarian society, and therefore an accurate assessment of anything in Iraq was impossible to obtain. The second is that Saddam Hussein has said that he was deliberately leaking false information to inflate perceptions of his military capability.
20/20 hindsight is just too clear for these "geniuses" who espouse the TRUTH.

I said BEFORE we went to Iraq that there wasn't WMDs there. Now truth be told, I didn't have intelligence nor did I know my statement would be proven true, but I have said it. I just needed more proof shown to me before I could ride along with committing troops.
So what if Saddam was lying on his military ability? We know that Saddam army couldn't hurt us. Let's pretend he did have WMD, how was he going to get it to the US? Bush Sr. did a GREAT JOB of smashing him in 91.
There are several totalitarian governments in the world Russ. My problem with how Iraq was handled was the fact that I think we open a can of worms because we're now seen as the world police. NOW EVERYBODY EXPECTS AMERICAN TROOPS to walk in and save them.
