Most of the world already knew that Bush's oil war was not justified, but good to see this out anyway. No one can defend that clown for his actions anymore.

'The fact that the NIE concluded that there was no operational tie between Saddam and al Qaeda did not offset this alarming assessment.'

Honestly, I don't know what this site is but the CIA would never declassify this. I think this site is bogus.

They were lied to. So were Republicans. I doubt even the Republicans would have supported that war had they been given the facts and not misled by the White House. Bush and the neocon war mongers cost the country billions of dollars, and thousands of lives and set in motion grave consequences that are reverberating still around the world.

Any ME dictator that went off the petro dollar is now dead or an enemy to be toppled.

The invasions and wars are being waged to save the petro dollar.

So you're saying that a classified memo to congress wasn't reviewed by congress? Or the memo was a lie?

Who lied to who in your opinion?

From the OP link. Sounds plausible though as we know Congress doesn't write or read their own bills.


"Pillar added that he was told by congressional aides that only a half-dozen senators and a few House members read past the NIE's five-page summary."
