The intelligence agencies had plenty of info to suggest that Iraq did not have WMDs which posed a direct threat to the U.S., however the only people that were listened to had political motives to lie. Otherwise, it would stand to reason that the WMDs all of these intelligence agencies thought were there would have been uncovered if their intelligence was accurate.
Some of the people that lied about Iraq pre-war intelligence, the Bush regime helped install into the Iraqi government as a reward for their collusion in providing a pretext for the invasion:
Quote:
Ahmed Abdel Hadi Chalabi,1 (Arabic: ???? ?????? 'Ahmad al-Jalab?) was interim oil minister in Iraq in April-May 2005 and December-January 2006 and deputy prime minister from May 2005 until May 2006.
Chalabi failed to win a seat in parliament in the December 2005 elections, and when the new Iraqi cabinet was announced in May 2006, he was not awarded a post. Once dubbed the "George Washington of Iraq" by American neoconservatives, he has fallen out of favor and is currently under investigation by several U.S. government sources. He is also wanted for massive bank fraud in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Chalabi was also part of a three-man executive council for the umbrella Iraqi opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress (INC), created in 1992 for the purpose of fomenting the overthrow of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. Although the INC received major funding and assistance from the United States, it never had any influence or any following to speak of in Iraq after the 2003 invasion. The INC's influence gradually waned until the December 2005 elections, in which it failed to win a single seat in Parliament.
Chalabi is a controversial figure for many reasons. In the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, under his guidance the INC provided a major portion of the information on which U.S. Intelligence based its condemnation of Saddam Hussein, including reports of weapons of mass destruction and alleged ties to al-Qaeda. Much of this information has turned out to be false.
That, combined with the fact that Chalabi subsequently gloated about the impact that their falsifications had in an interview with the British Sunday Telegraph, led to a falling out between him and the United States.
Initially, Chalabi enjoyed cozy political and business relationships with some members of the U.S. government, including some prominent neoconservatives within the Pentagon. Chalabi is said to have had political contacts within the Project for the New American Century, most notably with Paul Wolfowitz, a student of nuclear strategist Albert Wohlstetter and Richard Perle who was introduced to Chalabi by Wohlstetter in 1985.
Chalabi's opponents, on the other hand see him as a charlatan of questionable allegiance, out of touch with Iraq and with no effective power base there

So Splum, you really don't "operate MANY adult websites" do you, since you can't name even one? Your websites are as fake as the Iraq WMDs.
Apparently your only purpose here, since you can't even prove you are an adult webmaster, is to support a President with the worst-ever approval rating (even within his own party), as American soldiers are ungloriously being killed due to the Bush and Cheney neocon failed war plans...
