Let's Cease This "Faulty Intelligence" Scam.
It would be helpful if those in our media would finally expose one of the many lies which the Bush gang used to get us into this war and which those Democrats who also voted for it are keep blaiming "Faulty intelligence." The truth is that Bush, Blair and their Neocon advisors knew the inspectors had effectively disarmed Saddam from any WMDs he was alleged to have had. But by them knowing this it guaranteed they would attack Saddam believing it would indeed prove to be a "slam dunk cakewalk." The manner in which they have handled North Korea proves they would not have dared to attack any nation possessing a nuclear retaliatory capability. When Gen. Swartzkoff mocked Saddam's inept military experience perhaps such comments were premature. Saddam knew Iraq could not stop a superior U.S. invading force but he did put in place a strategy for their citizens to fight back once the invaders were visibly on the ground and in their gunsights. Perhaps if more people would read history and learn from the mistakes of the past we would not be entangled in the quagmire seen over there at present. The British withdrew after suffering from the insurgency and the cemetery where their troops now reside is still seen in Baghdad.
