Before this continues, let's get one thing straight. The senate did NOT Have access to the same intelligence the whitehouse people did. For a more full understanding I encourage reading Hubris and/or the 1 percent doctrine. A certain individual is hellbent on using words uttered by democrats. However, that they stated those things is irrelevant, the question is whether the bush admin manipulated information, including the information that went to the senators in question. A Th The answer is a resounding YES.
gain, some senators had access to MORE information but not the complete record. Rockafeller was one such senator so he's a dirty asshole (see his bending over on telecom immunity for further reference)
As for the report, it confirms what has been stated in numerous books and articles.
I don't know of anyone who has ever stated that the reason we invaded Iraq was because they attacked us during 9/11. The facts are that saddam was kicking out inspectors and breaking UN resolutions, this after 9/11. This was a leader who pre-emptively thought he could invade a sovreign neighbor and claim it as his own. Now, after almost 7 years of NO terrorist attacks on US soil, compared to a couple during Clinton's reign, the democrats are just trying to re-write history.
What are you replying to? What did you read? We are talking about Bushies who MANIPULATED INTELLIGENCE about iraq's threat. As for your first statement, do you remember cheney linking Iraq to AL Qaeda? Claiming some of the 9/11 hijackers trained in IRaq? DO you remember?
Do you? Just your first sentence is remarkably wrong.
I believe the Cheney claim you speak of is the one where Mohammed Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001? That information was provided by the Czech Republic who still stands by that claim.
Also, a recently released Pentagon Report details captured documents from Saddam Hussein's intelligence service which shows financial backing of two seperate Al-Qaeda terrorist partners. It also shows support for the Egyptian Islamic Jihad which later joined the Al-Qaeda network when it's leader, al-Zawahiri became Bin Laden's lieutenant.
