I remember the buildup to the war, and how much of a big deal was made about WMD’s, and I remembering saying to myself at the time that if Saddam was smart he would destroy all the WMD’s he had to make us look bad...
And guess what... that's exactly what he did.
We should of bargained with him, he could of revealed where he hid them and or told us how and what he destroyed in return for a life sentence.
I remember it very well also. Saddam was thumbing his nose at us, was not about to negotiate and we gave him every chance to do so. He was saying "bring it on" and we finally did.
Powell is self-consumed. He well knows that *EVERYONE* had the same intelligence- the Clintons, the Europeans and the UN. The guy should grow up. I’ve long suspected that he was an opportunistic phony. Bob
