1. done. Yes-60%

He intended to milk the fact that the US thought he had WMD. "Take that Iran, the US thinks I'm the big bad wolf. Hahaha!"

[skylarmae]

6. This is such a loaded question-Upon what evidence do you

base this opinion? Personally, I haven't had too much faith in our intelligence bunch since 9/11. Then after this total fabrication of why we went into Iraq, I was just wondering ......

[dennis4868]

9. I haven't had too much faith in our intelligence

I have alot of faith in our intelligence...it is the people who distort and ignore the intelligence that I have a problem with (i.e., Bush and Cheney).

[phantom power]

2. I think it's clear he would have, if he could have

but he couldn't. And eveybody whose job it was to know that sort of thing, knew he couldn't.

[Out the Parasites]

8. SPOT ON THERE

and damn if you didn't sum it up like Ab Lincoln. I wish I were the woman of few words :-)

[phantom power]

10. I practice the dark art of ersatz gravitas

I say as little as possible, in order to make myself appear wise and thoughtful...

[Vincardog]

3. Who cares what he wanted to do? W wants to be GOD

[HysteryDiagnosis]

7. If Iran was on our border... we'd be cranking out K-34 space modulators

by the millions.

[phantom power]

11. Where's the "kaboom!"

There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

14. Shhhhhh, don't say that in here... John Ashcroft is listening.... n/t

[wryter2000]

4. Sure

I also have ambitions to make the New York Times list.

[Wickerman]

5. No, He wanted to go back to the good old days when US gave them to him!

[Ranec]

12. Don't we know this now...

He was posing to keep up the rumors of his dark side.

He was a facade of an evil dictator.

Now, Bush on the other hand....:evilgrin:

[michigandem2]

13. well okay I voted no????

we had sanctions...and we wouldn't have lifted the sanctions...am I correct?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

18. Not until a good reason for taking over the oil biz there came about, not

until we had a reason to invade another sovereign nation that had notd made a move against us.... so we sat on our hands on 911.... in fact, we went on vacation for a month... in fact, we stopped several investigations into the Saudi Bin Laden thingies.... we got what we wanted... but we got just a little too much of it.... I am sure no one was expecting the towers to fall... or the number of deaths.

[Massacure]

15. Of course he intended to build them but didn't have the resources too.

It's a loaded question.

[tomfodw]

16. Stupid question

I mean- ever? Sure, obviously he did at some points in his miserable life.

And what do they mean by "intended"? Whatever his intent may have been, the Duelfer Report makes clear that he wasn't actually doing it during the past 12 years.

So who cares what his intent was?

[MazeRat7]

17. Its a bullshit question

Did he intend ? Under what circumstances ? Not under the sanctions that were imposed on him. Not while the US and UN was watching him.

I have lots of "intent" that does not mean I am trying to make it happen right NOW.

This kind of nuance is beyond the media...
