as far as Senate Intel report(s), I put about as much stock in that as I do with the Senate Intel committee getting back to us on the famous November 2005 shut down of the Senate in regards to phase II of the Senate Intel. BTW they still haven't gotten back to us yet.

Couple this with the fact that alot of former CIA and State department officials are coming out to back up the claims that the OSP/Admin "Cherry Picked" the data.

I'm sorry your points are only valid when you stay within Senate Intel box, and that box is still being hashed out in regards to phase II, but when you start to include all of the other governmental departments it shows quite a different story.

Our glorious Administration consistently told us the American public "we know where the WMD's are" "we know they have this" "we know they have mobile WMD labs" ect.. outside of a little anthrax where did it all go??

First of all we have eyes in the sky and they would have surely seen the transport of WMD's from one place to another. I mean afterall, a program that is this big and known by all that is a threat to whatever surely would have been bigger than some anthrax. It is not like this stuff(a WMD program) can be loaded in the back of a Toyota and transported to a "secret" place without the eyes in the sky seeing it.

Also let's look at this little bit of fact, we had NO agents on the ground since Gulf I ie: how were we gathering all of this intel that only the neocons believed in? The IAEA even disputed the WMD claims the IAEA same people who just won a Nobel Prize, were really the only qualified poeple on the ground in Iraq.

So where was all of this glorious intel coming from, especially coupled with the fact that no other MAJOR freethinking country backed us up on these claims like we were backed up in Gulf I?

Let me know when you have more than a Rethuglican/neocon controlled Senate Intel report, cause I ain't buying your argument right now.

Thanks for playing though you got me thinking about some other RW talking points that I liked to debunk.
