Of course they were.  Heavily.  In other words we have some liars here.

Yes they do - they were told the truth but they changed it to what
they wanted to hear anyway even though that meant purposefully lying.

Yea at least the citizens of the UK are not total fuckin morons, eh?

Let's say you were Sadam and getting attacked.  But you have some
pretty nasty not to mention really powerful weapons handy - so what
are you gonna do?

Use them, or destroy them?

Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumsfeld et.al have been planning to take over Iraq for many
years now, they even have their own web site saying so.  Not
to mention these are all the same guys who put Sadam in power
there in the first place.  The destruction of the WTC just
provided them with an unusually convenient excuse.
