Ex-CIA agent says WMD intelligence ignored�|�Reuters.com

CBS said the CIA’s intelligence source was former Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri and that former CIA Director George Tenet delivered the information personally to US President George W Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other top White House officials in September 2002. They rebuffed the CIA three days later.

“The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy,” the former CIA agent told CBS.

US allegations that Saddam had WMD and posed a threat to international security was a main justification for the March 2003 invasion.

As my husband David says, anybody with half a brain knows that the people of the United States, Britain, and the world were being lied to by our elected leaders.

Meanwhile, in other news, as of right now there have been 2380 US military deaths and somewhere between 35,000 and 39,000 civilian deaths to date. And that’s not counting coalition military deaths, contractors, and journalists.

All are dead for a pack of lies.

And yes, I’m thinking of installing a couple of webcounter widgets.
