Subj : FAILURE To : Angus McLeod From : Frank Reid Date : Sun Oct 02 2005 07:30 am Re: FAILURE By: Angus McLeod to Frank Reid on Sun Oct 02 2005 01:31:00 > The Downing street memo is what you're looking for. That's it? The speculative thoughts of some low-level foreign affairs civil servant? Of course Bush was dealing with the reality of having to invade Iraq. He had already put Iraq on notice for their non-compliance with UN sanctions, and he knew he had an uphill battle with the impotent UN in achieving compliance with those sanctions. I know for a fact there are REAMS of data indicating Iraq had a viable WMD program and was actively working on the means to deliver it, and you want to present some low-level bureacrat's obviously jaded opinion as evidence to the contrary? The military had just spent the prior decade in the sky above there gathering data! I can understand the anti-Bush lemmings getting duped like this, Angus... but you surprise me unless you're being disingenuous. Show me what else you've got. --- þ Synchronet þ BBS Doors (www.bbsdoors.com) .
