Got any evidence to back up that claim? Didn’t think so.

From my 3rd link: “To suggest that European states agreed with Washington’s WMD assessments but put their citizens at risk of nuclear-biological-chemical poisoning is too farfetched to believe.”

“citing sources that say someone doesn’t want to go to war…”

you’re so smart, Pedro, it’s not hard to see why everyone believes you’re a real doctor. Did you even look at the links? Didn’t think so.

Let’s see, we’ve got the CIA, the IAEA, the Senate Intelligence Committee all saying that the administration’s claims are false. We’ve got several European governments saying the same. What else do you want? Do you want Germany saying that they don’t believe the testimony of Bush Golden-Boy Curveball? Here.

From that link: “The German said his service ‘was not sure whether Curveball was actually telling the truth.’” (Curveball is the one who gave the false info about the mobile weapons labs.)

From that same piece: the National Security Council “believed the nuclear case was weak.”

And This piece which explains how the Australian intelligence agency knew that “US intelligence on Iraq was badly skewed by political pressure, worst-case analysis and a stream of garbage-grade intelligence concocted by Iraqis desperate for US intervention in Iraq.” But also “It wasn’t just the Australians who were mystified by the accumulating US trash. The French, Germans and Russians had long before refused to be persuaded by Washington’s line.”

And the kicker: “Australian intelligence agencies made it clear to the Government all along that Iraq did not have a massive WMD program.”

So to sum up: Pedro = Dumbass.

Yea, please use him as a source more often.

nihilistic I don’t know what you are talking about…prewar, none of those entities believed that Saddam DIDN’T have WMDS….and citing sources that say someone doesn’t want to go to war dos not refute that….

Are you fucking kidding? I just pounded you down with multiple citations refuting your bullshit unsubstantiated claim that “every other intel service in the world” knew Saddam had WMDs and all you can do is stick your fingers in your ears and say “la la la la I’m not listening to you?”

So Dick Durbin and the Senate Intelligence Committee are “euroweenies”? The IAEA and the CIA are “euroweenies”? The Bush Administration are “euroweenies”?

You’re a typical conservative, Pedro. You think you’re sooooooo smart, and yet you can’t seem to come up with any argument other than “Nuh-uh! Bush is great! Lib’ruls suck!”

I guess I shouldn’t have expected more.

Ever heard of Scott Ritter? Probably not.

He’s a republican. He voted for G.H.W.Bush in 2000. He was also the chief weapons inspector in more than a dozen inspection missions in Iraq and was part of more than a dozen additional missions.

He said Saddam didn’t have WMD and said that most of the intelligence back him up.

Added to the numerous reports of politicians trying to fix the intelligence to back up their war plans, it’s clear that the intelligence didn’t say Saddam had WMD.

You’re either uninformed or…I don’t think there are any other choices.

Next dumb-ass leftist argument please…except from Hazmaq, he is an actual socialist apparently

Brian Williams, god that guy is such a slimyslug, (no dis to slimyslugs) was programmend to take the debate out of the debate and turn the Dems appearance into a boring non-event.

You watch, Matthews will turn his debate into a pro- Republican orgy against the Dems.

If you thought you’d hear about what’s good for the people, the country or the world, think again.

For that, I suggest you listen to Hugo Chavez on FreeSpeech TV.

Oil at half price anyone?

Wrong again.

And I quote: “In the weeks leading up to the war, examples of high-level European disagreement with Washington were abundant.”

Well, that’s just Europe. They hardly count, right?

And he’s not even wearing a ninja suit.

Of course not.

What the flying monkey fuck does that have to do with anything?

Matthews is a first-class A-one buttlicker of the highest order.

He laughed right along with Ann Coulter on the numerous times she has disgraced the airwaves, so freakin’ what?

“I oppose this bill because it prevents me from passing the buck to the next guy.”

Of course not”

If Matthews invited any comedian slightly to the left of Goebbels, they would probably do the same.

How about this guy? He knew what was up. And according to his report, so did the UN Security Council, the IAEA, and “many experts on centrifuges and Iraqi rockets” (who viewed the CIA analysis re: the aluminum tubes as “atrocious and deceptive.”)

The best line: “This case serves to remind us that decision-makers are not above misusing technical and scientific analysis to bolster their political goals. The problem is that such a strategy denigrates the process of conducting impartial technical analysis and misleads the public.”

We were lied into a war, Pedro. The Cheney impeachment will expose all of the lies, so stay tuned.

I wasn’t alone. There were lots of other people marching in the streets with the same message who all seemed to know.

Everyone on DKos knew. And it turned out they were right.

Do you attribute that to a remarkable coincidence?

The reason I joined DKos was because the predictions there have turned out to be the most accurate of any over the last few years. I go with what works.

Of course not.

What is hard to believe is that Chris Matthews apparently believes that W has any ideas of his own.

C.S. How about some evidence to back up your specious statement that “most” of the intel community knew saddam was giving up wmd, cause that is not what every other report has said.
