Ah....I remember the days when freepers thought that it was "idiots" who refused to investigate potential scandals and abuse of power. Now, the "idiots" are those who dare to ask questions!

I wasn't here at the time, but I have to agree that the lack of WMD sends a cloud over the entire Iraq liberation. The sad thing is, it was a SELF-INFLICTED WOUND!

Many, perhaps most, of us would have supported the war as a way to topple a brutal dictator who has menaced and murdered his own people, and who had given insufficient information about his disposal of WMD. It was President Bush -- and Secretary Powell -- who made the WMD themselves the issue with their statements about imminent usability of these weapons.

How are we ever going to get world support to take out, say, Iran or Syria for WMD if we can't pinpoint how our intelligence services screwed up so badly now. It would be a true tragedy if, having done the right thing by liberating Iraq, we are now in the position of the boy who cried wolf, never to be believed again when another horrific despot gathers the means to kill tens or hundreds of thousands of people at a time.

I pray that these weapons are found.

Perhaps freepers are intelligent enough to recognize disingenuous questions???

Ouch....not so. I don't care about the investigation. Cross my heart and swear to God. It's wishy-washy Chuck Hagel. Give me Tom Osborne any day of the week.

Nobody's asking any questions. Accusations, based on nothing, are being thrown about. This has been the case since the day that GWB took office. The only thing that changes is the accusation.

When "the idiots" come up with the next accusation, they'll pretty much drop this one. They're just throwing things against the wall hoping that something, anything, will stick.
