C.I.A. Judgments on Iraq's Arms are Deeply Flawed

The Senate Intelligence Committee said Friday that the most pivotal assessments used to justify the war against Iraq were unfounded and unreasonable, and reflected major missteps by American intelligence agencies. "What the President and the Congress used to send the country to war was information provided by the intelligence community, and that information was flawed," said Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, the panel's Republican chairman...Seems like there’s going to be a slight problem.

President Bush described Saddam Hussein in March 2002 as "a dangerous man who possesses the world's most dangerous weapons," Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld reassured the world of this in a speech January 2003. Turns out, evidence says that Saddam have nothing more than a small arsenal of weapons that are far from being capable of mass destruction. Nice job Bush, so much for being a religious man, what good is God if he won’t hide weapons of mass destruction in the “evil do-er’s” homeland.




How embarrassing is this going to be, "Sorry about murdering your sons, defiling your palaces, toppling that statue of yours, and stashing you in jail for half a year Mr. Hussein, let me brush you up a bit, you’re fine.” I feel sorry for the Shi'a, they’re out there proclaiming “Death to Saddam,” now the chances of that might be slim, and if no one can justify keeping the man behind bars, its going to be back to the shit houses for them…stupid Shi’a.




Of course, there’s also the matter of the current judge of Saddam’s trial who has personally made it a note to tell inform the Iraqi President that he is Former Iraqi President. He goes on to tell him that he worked as a judge under the old rĂ©gime, nice job retard now you risk solitary confinement for the rest of your life.




In January 2003, an assessment found that "Saddam probably will not initiate hostilities for fear of providing Washington with justification to invade Iraq. Nevertheless, he might deal the first blow, especially if he perceives that an attack intended to end his regime is imminent." By March 17, 2003, before the American attack commenced, President Bush promised that the time of such risks was about to end. We would just like to take the time to present out heartfelt thanks to President Bush for his campaign against a country that in 2002 is said by US Intelligence to be more fragile militarily than in 1991. Thanks to the toppling of Saddam we no longer need to worry about guerrillas in Iraq, Al-Qaeda across the globe, Islamic extremists intent on killing us all, and India and Pakistan who actually have nuclear weapons pointing at each other. Oh look! Islamic militants are holding still holding that Filipino bus driver captive, President Arroyo, you're a disgrace to every female political leader, please retreat the 51 (actual number) troops you have in Iraq, they're working as janitors anyway and can't help President Bush, he gets rid of his evil do-ers.


Charge Saddam with sexism!...never mind that's the extreme Muslim way, better find something else to charge Saddam with.
