> Hint: WMD was one of several reasons, and not the top one.
Guess that's why Powell played it down when he presented the case to the UN, huh.
> The report stated that Saddam had a complete bioweapons infrastructure in place and ready to ramp up to full production within a 6 month period.
What the Administration likes to forget to tell you is that practically any nation in the world could start producing bioweapons within six months.
> Knowing now just how rotten and corrupt the oil for food program was, it was only a short matter of time before Saddam was once again cranking out bioweapons.
Another alternative would have been to crack down on the corruption rather than ignoring it.
The Bush Administration has been trying to put an anti-UN spin on the scandal, but it's about to kick them in the balls.

I found the whole election to be ironic.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
