A reminder:
Does anyone–ANYONE–in the U.S. Government agree with this? No one?
I didn’t think so.
there is allways , why , why , why, so consequentley why Dick Cheney(nothing less helpfull were Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz in this speculation) lied about Iraq having WMD Program???, as i quoted in other article , the decission of Sadam Hussain to trade Oil with Euros and not dollars is the answer.As you all know 2002 went Euro on oficial stock, and as predicted will be strong curency…so it is untill today
and as far as your reminder is concerned Carole JEAN a man can only SALUTE to people like Robert H.Jackson who once were leading the system in USA ,in our days they are put aside and are ignored , what a shame for US Nation .

The informed view was the Neo-Cons did not really believe the stuff about “WDM’s” at all, it was thought to be a convenient excuse – “it can be that”.
What was the real reason for the attack is now being discussed.
The decision was it was to aid Netanyahu by the Neo-Cons as an update of the “Domino Theory” – the beginning of creating weak arabstates across the Arab world ruled by American clients, this allowing their mate benji to impose his own peace settlement.
