| Yes, because... he was only listening to one side of the evidence... as always when it comes to bush, but still... |

Israeli Intel given to US:

The retired general described Israel as a “full partner” in U.S. and British intelligence failures that exaggerated Iraqi President Saddam Hussain’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs in the lead up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. |
If that is your answer then I would take it as a yes because it was a concerted effort. |

:conf: You're not being serious are you? In case you are, could you elaborate on that or provide me with a link or something?
As for my answer, yes, ofcourse the Administration did it intentionaly. Why? To scare the public into support for a policy there was tremendous opposition to so they could persue their oil adventures. |

here, enjoy. i also remember the case where a person in the US administration that was involved in collecting intelligence on weapons in iraq was accused of espionage for israel. |
Israel has by far the best intelligence on the planet. So i guess our idiot is to blame either way right :rolleyes: |

| Yes, because they were interested on investing thousands of dollars in companies they knew would get government contracts and that a war would be good for. The Bush administration made millions from the war and the continuation of the war. |

I use to be along those lines with the aching suspicion of foulplay.
Given the recent events of what we know about this Administration's deliberate distortions and outright use of false evidence to push their case for war, such as al-Haideri's bull claims on the al-Qaeda connection:

Are leaning me toward my suspicions more and more. Hersh's "Stovepipe" article still seems to be the primer to it all:

And now the Rolling Stone just came out with an article that, quite frankly, blew my ing mind. Ever heard of the Rendon Group?:

I'd heard of them, but I didn't know exactly just how involved they were. Jesus ing Christ.
This seemingly was a propaganda sale to the American people from the getgo. I'm almost to the point of saying that with complete certainty. Almost. |
