Senate Intel committee finishes its report. No WMD!
Senators Roberts and Rockefeller released the report slamming the CIA and others about the totally fictitious issues of WMD, nukes, pilotless airplanes, etc. They both answered many questions, tough ones, too.

Although the vote for the report was unanimous, they agreed that there was some disagreement on the issue of White House pressure to find the right result.

We need more honest pols like this.

It proves that this administration is governed by liars.

1. so are the democrats
no one takes responsibility

Congress and this scum administration has blood on their hands by going into Iraq.

There were enough people from past administrations, republican and democrat, state department, pentagon, etc. that said Iraq was not an immenient threat, and congress still gave this administration permission to send troops.

The pugs are more to blame, but the democrats allowed themselves to be bullied, and make me sick

2. It is high time that we acknowledge
That perhaps Saddam DID comply with resolution 1441......it is high time that we recognize fully to the world that the war was based on false pretenses totally.

It is high time that Bushco be charged with war crimes. He belongs in prison for the rest of his miserable life right along side Saddam Hussein.

3. No one ever mentions Khamisiyah
It's like a radioactive taboo subject on Capitol Hill. Khamisiyah is the 50 square kilometer weapons storage dump that the US destroyed following Gulf War I. For years, the US military denied that any WMD were destroyed there. But in 1996 the CIA issued a White Paper entitled "Khamisiyah: A Historical Perspective On Related Intelligence" admitting that sarin-containing warheads were destroyed at Khamisiyah. We need to find out just what we knew about the location of Saddam's WMD at the end of Gulf War I and how many special ops teams we sent into Iraq to destroy them. This is still classified information and the Pentagon has further stated that no records were ever kept on the destruction of Saddam's WMD. I have a feeling we destroyed much if not all of Saddam's WMD at the end of the first Gulf War, that we kept this secret because we gassed our own people in the region, leading to Gulf War Syndrome. And by hiding the fact we destroyed his WMD, we could continue the pressure on Saddam to oust him from power and go to war.

6. The truth really needs to come out about Cheney.
There's no reason the CIA should have to take this. We heard about Cheney a long time ago haunting the CIA, arguing, threatening, demanding different answers than the honest ones they had.

7. What Cheney did was unprecedented
and very likely illegal. He is a war criminal and he and his "stovepipe" should go Cheney themselves for all eternity.
