Is it so hard to imagine that the cia/nsa are behind these various audio tracks they keep coming up with (including bin laden), all of which are too low quality to technically verify? Go here http://www.ppu.org.uk/iraq/scared.html to see an example of obvious govt lying about "evidence" just before the first gulf war. Is it so hard to believe that politicians and power brokers in washington or elsewhere would lie?
2. To believe this you basically have to trust bush and his staff. To me its been obvious for a good while that they are intent on having this war and have been looking for a reason so they could sell it. I mean, do you trust politicians and political hacks or not? Thats what this really comes down to.

It's called track record. The US has a near flawless track record about presenting truthful information regarding these matters. Iraq on the other hand, has presented lie after lie. You tell me who you'd tend to believe (depite you being one of those anti-American conpiracists...from what I can tell).
