   Name one! And Mossad doesn't count for obvious reasons...

   The only intel GWB and his cronies had was that given to them by
Iraqi dissidents that tried you make themselves appear as useful as
possible, hoping that they would be given a front seat by the pots after
the US invasion.

   Even the CIA objected strongly to the lies that Colin Powell was
forced to present to the UN on that infamous "speech" at the plenary
session of the United Nations Security Council on February 5, 2003. A
performance that he two years later said that it was a blot on his
record: "It will always be a part of my record. It was painful. It's
painful now."

   Face it Jeff, you've been screwed by your own president. And your
mainstream media hasn't got the guts or integrity to inform you properly
about it.

 JS>      You can't be serious Björn.

   Yes I can and I am. Dead serious. And so can the media all over the
globe (except for the US ditto), the UN inspector's reports as well as
"intelligence communities of several countries".

   Is that the "facts" that you are being fed? The fact is that for
seven (7!) years the UN inspectors found nothing, nada, zilch. Not for
lack of trying, mind you. But already from day one of the inspections
the Iraqi officials reacted against some of the demands the inspectors
made. And soon enough the Iraqis found out that there were always at
least one CIA agent involved in the inspections.

   Well, the Iraqis played along as well as they could. But as more and
more "inspection" demands involved secret defence systems and files,
that obviously had absolutely nothing to do with WoMD, they became more
and more reluctant to play along with the CIA game.

   How would you think the US would have reacted if UN inspectors
demanded to see the inside of any of your secret military installations?

   Anyway, in 1998 the Iraqis had had enough. If nothing had been found
in seven years, it should be obvious to anyone with half a brain, that
nothing would be found even if the inspections lasted for seven times
seven years. So, enough is enough, out with the CIA agents and their UN
inspection cover.

   Can you seriously blame the Iraqis for this?

   And remember, the chief for the "second" UN inspection team was
Swedish. He doesn't have to bend under Patriot Acts and other Homeland
Security issues in the US, he's entitled to speak freely in Swedish
media. And he has -- big time. So the entire free world now knows all
about those WoMD matters in Iraq. Except (seemingly) the US. Are you as
free as you think you are...?
