Overall Rating:3.67 based on 9 ratings
Says Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, "Before the war, the U.S. intelligence community told the president as well as the Congress that Saddam Hussein had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and if left unchecked would probably have a nuclear weapon during this decade. Today we know these assessments were wrong." (Add picture)

CIA, FBI - whatever - if you think that these are organizations employing omnipotent, super-heros who never fail at anything then, ahem, I think you've been watching too many Bond films. They are human beings - no doubt well trained and capable but human none-the-less. They can't see all or prevent every disaster from happening regardless of what they do or do not do. It happened. It was hideous. All we can do now is try to prevent it from happening again.

Certainly takes away most of the public's faith in American intelligence, not that there was much there to begin with. However, considering that John Kerry voted to authorize the President to go to war based on the same intelligence that Bush cited in going to war, I don't see how Kerry can criticize him for this or how it could be particularly damaging.

So, this is the biggie. Not Kerry's voting record in the Senate, not Kerry's vision for America, not Kerry's superior oratorical skills (based on the two convention speeches head-to-head, where Bush's was clearly better and more thoughtfully written and much better delivered), nor even Kerry's greater gravitas as a political figure. The common thread seems to be events under partial, and sometimes minimal, control of the administration. Try this: vote for Kerry for what he has done, for who he is, for what you think he will do, and for the anticipation of him giving speeches to the American people over the next 4 years (snore!) and representing the greatest superpower in the world to our allies and enemies. Good grief. What makes him think he could be president? What makes you think that?

unfortunately, no one understands the implications of this report. bush said that iraq could send a bomb to the u.s in a matter of hours at any given time. so we went into iraq, killed hundreds of young americans, and it turns out the entire reason for going into iraq was false. had bush said saddam hussein is torturing his people, let's get him out to save the people we would've had support, but he DIDN'T say that. but now he claims that was exactly the reason he went in. had he gotten world support, rather than get shunned by them, iraq would've been handled more smoothly, with less loss of american life, and we WOULD be regarded as liberators along with the rest of the world community.

This + Farenhiet 911 signal John Kerry in Novemeber. Only die hard conservatives can justify standing behind the adminstration after that bombshell. How can any one call them self patriotic and support a war clearly based on crap. The adminstration is running out of reasons to justify the war, if anyone says to rid the world of Saddam Hussien I say what about the nOrth Korean president, the Saudi family, the Congo, the world is full of dangerous people, when are we attacking them? To make America safer, I felt safer one year after 9/11, we have created a new generation of motherless terrorists that our generation (18 - 25) is going to have to deal with. Impeach Bush
