Reply #14: Not so fast .. Plenty of people knew that Iraq had no WMD... [View All]

Scott Ritter, for example, who was the darling of you Freepers until he went off his leash.

The UN inspectors, for example, who had not found any WMD but were still looking diligently.

Members of our own intelligence community, for example -- whose attempts to confront Powell and Rumsfeld and Cheney and Bush with the truth about Iraq's impotent WMD programs were met with deliberate derision and demotion.

The rest of the world, for example, which is why the US and its UK poodle are having to bear the burden and the guilt of this catastophic error in judgment alone.

Catch up with reality. There were no WMD found in Iraq -- just some pitiful artifacts of a long abandoned NBC warfare program that really never got any farther than the chemical weapons Reagan and Bush1 sold them.
