Defector admits to WMD lies that triggered Iraq war (weapons, regime, solutions)

[Feel The Love]

The defector who convinced the White House that Iraq had a secret biological weapons programme has admitted for the first time that he lied about his story, then watched in shock as it was used to justify the war. Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, codenamed Curveball by German and American intelligence officials who dealt with his claims, has told the Guardian that he fabricated tales of mobile bioweapons trucks and clandestine factories in an attempt to bring down the Saddam Hussein regime, from which he had fled in 1995.

this is not a newsflash...common sense that people who were providing so-called intelligence to the entire intel community were only interested in toppling Saddam...however, there was so much of it, believed by so many, which was consistent with Iraq's disregard for UN resolutions, their past use of WMD's against their own people, and their evasive and defiant actions..that there was no choice in the matter..unfortunately...
