Bush Radio Address February 8, 2003 8. If Iraq had disarmed itself, gotten rid of its weapons of mass destruction over the past 12 years, or over the last several months since (UN Resolution) 1441 was enacted, we would not be facing the crisis that we now have before us . . . But the suggestion that we are doing this because we want to go to every country in the Middle East and rearrange all of its pieces is not correct.---Colin Powell Interview with Radio France International February 28, 2003 9. So has the strategic decision been made to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction by the leadership in Baghdad? . . .

I was asking about George Tenet specifically, so here is my question again: Can anyone come up with a quote from Tenet's book where George Tenet actually uses the words/phrase - "The intelligence for the Iraq War was fabricated?" Or, words to that effect? | ||||||||||||||||||||||

See, folks, I asked a simple and valid question (and I'm not getting an answer). No, I haven't read the book, but I'm willing to bet that Tenet never actually used the words, "The Intelligence for the Iraq War was fabricated." I am even willing to put my membership in this web site on the table here. . . So, here's the bet: If anyone can come up with a quote from George Tenet's recent book, where he actually used the words/phrase - "The Intelligence for the Iraq War was fabricated (or even words to that effect)," then I will leave this web site and never come back. On the other hand, if you can't come up with an actual quote along that line, then you must leave this web site and never come back. Any takers? And please, just answer the question. . . no personal attacks or verbal diarreah like I've been receiving in this thread thus far. . . | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Anyone here in the position to recieve an advance copy? In any case, it is a bit early to have any real discussion on the book until people get a chance to read it. And why on Earth would you want to stake your or anyone's membership on this question? What use is a debate site if there aren't people on both sides of an issue debating? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
