Psst Sir, FYI: IRAQ Does Not Have WMD's Thought You Have a Need to Know

Rummy to Dubya: I have some really big news after all these years

(and all after the fact)

I call this Rummy’s “Shock and awe shit” moment... (not, but today).

As I like to say and most GOPers are loathe to hear:

THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT OVER TIME AND IN THE END OPINIONS GIVE WAY TO FACTS …!!!

The reference for this post is from here > > >

While the threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iraq was at the heart of the Geo. W. Bush administration's case for war, a recently declassified JCS report conceded in part:

“Our knowledge of the Iraqi (nuclear) weapons program is based largely — perhaps 90% — on analysis of imprecise intelligence.”

The rationale for the invasion has long since been discredited, but the JCS report, now declassified, which a former Bush administration official forwarded in December, nevertheless has implications for both sides in the 2016 presidential race, in particular the GOP candidates who are relying for foreign policy advice on some of the architects of the war, and the Democratic front-runner, who once again is coming under fire from her primary opponent for supporting the invasion.

Finally, I would add this that I cannot believe any “news” agency or outlet would print this with a straight face:

“Rumsfeld was not under any legal or administrative obligation to circulate an internal DOD report, but not doing so raises questions about whether the administration withheld key information that could have undermined its case for war.”

Time and again, in the fall of 2002 and into early 2003, members of the administration spoke forcefully and without qualification about the threats they said Saddam Hussein posed. 

The JCS report undercut their assertions, and if it had been shared more widely within the administration, the debate would have been very different.
 

So, Mr. and Mrs. War Hawk GOP: Tell that to the families who lost loved ones in Iraq and to the 32,000 plus wounded – many who live with lifelong wounds that the invasion may have been an error and mistake (as if we didn’t f**king know or suspect from day-one).

Okay, so who can we hold accountable? WTF – no one can since we can’t go back and sue an official like Rummy or Bush or Cheney, et al. So, that’s it then?

All right, then it’s on to November and the current field of GOP hawks just itching for war with Iran or North Korea, or God knows with whom else.

Thanks for coming by.
