So CIA memos are enough reason for you, pity history will not see it as so.
WMDs, the memos were BS, because were able to state where there were any WMDs. We were told at the time that revealing exact locations would be dangerous for spies working in Iraq. Well it seems the spies must still be in danger becasue nothing has been found to date.
Terrorism, where are the facts to back up these memos?
If you have a boss that wants to hear a message and you want to look good, you produce the message. Producing facts to back up the message are proving a little harder and the more investigating that is being done into the "Memos" the more doubtful they are looking.
A memo that there might be something, is a signal to produce facts and be on your guard. Not an excuse to invade a third world country that in truth could not protect itself and kill hundreds of thousands.
I have the utmost respect for the people in Iraq trying to hold everything together. I just learned that a friend has been promoted to 2 Commando, this means he's a front line soldier. If he gets injured or does not return I want to know his sacrifice was worth it.

I just think that if I were given maps and memos saying saddam has WMD's and this is here they are located and also recieving memos that bin laden is looking for WMDs I would want to know exactly what saddam is up to and without him co-operating I would assume he is sharing these with terrorists. Personally I would rather bush do to much then to little so that we can never have anything as horrific as 911. I am sure the democrats would have done the same thing if it meant protecting the american people and the world for that matter.
