“Almost as good as the CIA’s intel about the WMD’s in Iraq.”

You’re ignorant. There were many WMDs including uranium. The coalition took casualties from IEDs which included chemical weapon shells.

Okay, I took a look at your NBC story about the yellowcake uranium being found in Iraq. Yellowcake uranium is not a WMD. If you read the NBC article you saw that post-Saddam Iraq tried to get rid of it by putting it up for sale on the commercial market where the going price was $60 a pound. Hint, WMD’s are not sold on the commercial market for $60 a pound.

Now, I have a source for you about those non-existent WMD’s. A source, I think you will agree, who knows more about the WMD’s in Iraq than anyone else in the world, ex-president George Bush. He has said many times that one of the biggest regrests of his presidency was not finding WMD’s in Iraq. Here are three examples that took me about five minutes to locate:

“August 21, 2006 press conference
Now, look, I didn’t — part of the reason we went into Iraq was — the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn’t, .....

Decision Points, by George Bush
In discussing the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Bush notes, “That was a massive blow to our credibility—my credibility—that would shake the confidence of the American people.” He then adds: “No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.”

Interview The Times, November 10, 2010
Former US President George W Bush has said he regretted flying a “Mission Accomplished” banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003 and inaccurate information on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
64-year-old Bush told ‘The Times’ newspaper among his regrets were “flying a Mission Accomplished banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003, the premature reduction of US troop numbers in Iraq after the invasion and, above all, the inaccurate information on WMD.”
He said: “The reality was that I had sent American troops into combat based in large part on intelligence that proved false.”

So if I am ignorant about the existence of WMD’s in Iraq, then so is George Bush. We just don’t have the good sources of information that you have. Perhaps you should share your inside information with President Bush, to ease his burden.
