WMD WTF W?
Smoking Gun? Maybe.
I'm sure the administration will use every distraction possible to keep people from paying attention to what the British knew before the war in Iraq. What did the British know?
Well the British Government knew that President Bush had already made up his mind to go to war in Iraq in July of 2002 even though in March of 2002 he was still saying that "We are doing everything we can to avoid war." And the British Government was concerned that there was no legal justification for an invasion of Iraq. And the head of UK's foreign intelligence (SIS) said that the US didn't have a strong case for war, "But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy".
And now you can, and should, read all about it in The Downing Street Memo.
When will somebody in the Bush administration step forward and admit that they lied about WMD, about connections between Iraq and 911, and they did everything they could to justify an unprovoked military invasion of a country that posed no threat to the United States?
