CNN.com - Official: No WMD stockpiles in Iraq - Oct 6, 2004

I wasn't going to post about this because I'm tired of every single entity in the world giving us the 'final word' on this (senate, UN, etc.). However I will give you this observation. On the eve of war, Bush gave Saddam a deadline to show us his WMD. Cough 'em up, or we invade. He didn't, and THAT was the actual 'trigger' that bush claimed as the reason we went to war. The last chance to avoid it, as he claimed. Now think about this. How could war be avoided if there was nothing to cough up? How could ANYONE on earth prove to bush that war was not necessary?

the answer? Who cares. It didn't matter what was done. The decision was made to go to war and nothing as insignificant as 'the facts' would de-rail that decision.
