If people had evidence in 1990 that I had several kilos of cocaine under my bed, and no one checked there for 10 years, and after 10 years I wouldn't let anybody come into my room to check under my bed, and if all my friends were still saying that I had a stash of coke, wouldn't it be logical to assume that I did in fact have some coke?
Maybe I sniffed it all, or sold it all, or just burned it all in the past 10 years... or, maybe, I got rid of most of it but kept just a few grams and that's why I didn't want to let anyone in my room. Or maybe there's no coke but there are phone numbers of the people I sold it to.
The point is, there was pre-existing evidence that Iraq had WMDs, and there was very little evidence to support that they'd gotten rid of them. That doesn't actually mean that they DIDN'T get rid of them - it just means that the U.S. was acting on whatever intelligence they had, however correct or incorrect, which pointed to there being at least a potential of them still having the WMDs. |
- Yes, there was evidence that Iraq once had WMD. Now, there was NO evidence if they destroyed them, or not. One of the reasons why at the end Germany and France strongly went against a war, was because last minute intelligence, somewhat started to suggest that Saddam MAY have got rid of the weapons, so did the Chief Weapons Inspector, Hanx Blix, who because of that, asked for more time. But Bush administration, blindly believed on a every piece/small evidence given, not even proving it to be right/correct evidence ( Uranium in Africa, all those chemical facilities with supposed Chemical Weapons ) .. and well, all the things he had mentioned on the State of The Union to the American public. Bush administration did not back up, and it was obvious enough, because Bush WANTED Saddam out of power, no matter what. Overall, THIS did not, and still Does not Justify a country to go to war.. the US commited an act of IMPERIALISM, and its a big shame that the US intelligence was SO wrong.. it has lost lots of credibility, although the ones looking dirty are the Bush Administration.
