Originally posted by John D Harris: Interesting Chewie, Please explain how the decision President Bush made is any different then the decision you seem to have arrived at? I mean in the first quote you post: quote: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4122113/ Regarding chemical and biological weapons, the U.N. inspectors headed by Hans Blix conducted 731 inspections between November 2002 and March 2003. Despite claims by the U.S. government of the existence of specific stockpiles of weapons and active weapons programs, they found no evidence of either. In his reports to the Security Council, Blix was always judicious. "One must not jump to the conclusion that they exist," he said. "However, that possibility is also not excluded."

You seam to have disreguarded the last part of Mr. Blix's statement: "However, that possibility is also not excluded." Did you both not look at the evidence that was before you and come to a conclusion, even through there is clearly a caveat of dissenting opinion in the evidence?

As for the released intel. info. while that maybe concidered a deception, which is part of the duties of the intel community, I don't see any evidence put forth that President Bush ordered the release of the publicly released info. without any dissenting views. If you have evidence please present it, or "Hale" give it to the Congressional committees that will be or are soon to be examining this matter. [/QUOTE]Please clarify this "decision" I have made. From what I can tell, I havent disregarded anything.
