Yes that's because at that time they did but, were talking about before the invasion of Iraq. -
I could only provide you info that you could find as well and if I did all I would here is that's not creditable sources or site so, I will not waste my time in doing so. There are reports out there.
Yes did Saddam did have Wmd's and used them on his own people and in the war with Iran but, were talking about the time before we invaded Iraq. I'm kind of curious if anyone remembers Joesph Wilson and Valire Plame Wilson. You know the CIA agaent that was outed by the Bush Administration in which Scooter Liby was the escapegoat and was convicted and then later Pardoned by Bush.
Seven years after top officials in the Bush administration turned their world upside down in an attempt to convince the public to support the war in Iraq, Amb. Joseph Wilson and outed CIA agent Valerie Plame said they still have not received an apology from anyone involved.
The movie “Fair Game“ is hitting U.S. theaters on Nov. 5, based on the real-life story of Plame and Wilson, who were at the heart of the debate over the Iraq war. In 2003, Plame was a covert officer in the CIA’s counter-proliferation division, and Wilson was sent to Africa to investigate the alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger.
The Bush administration, of course, ignored his findings and told the American public that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. On July 6, 2003, Wilson penned an explosive op-ed entitled, “What I Didn’t Find in Africa.â€
“Did the Bush administration manipulate intelligence about Saddam Hussein’s weapons programs to justify an invasion of Iraq?†he wrote. “Based on my experience with the administration in the months leading up to the war, I have little choice but to conclude that some of the intelligence related to Iraq’s nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat. “
What ensued was the leaking of Plame’s covert identity — in an effort to discredit Wilson — to journalists including columnist Robert Novak, the conviction of top aide to Vice President Cheney Scooter Libby and prison time for a New York Times journalist. But nothing ever happened to others involved in the leak, including Armitage and Cheney.Seven years after top officials in the Bush administration turned their world upside down in an attempt to convince the public to support the war in Iraq, Amb. Joseph Wilson and outed CIA agent Valerie Plame said they still have not received an apology from anyone involved.
“No, in a word,†Plame laughed and told The Huffington Post when asked if she or her husband had heard from any Bush officials. She said the closest thing she has received to an apology is when Richard Armitage, the former No. 2 at the State Department, publicly said it was “foolish“ of him to leak Plame’s undercover CIA identity.

There's a little background of what happened when Joesph Wilson told the Bush Administartion what he found and they didn't like what he had to say. by the way more people should have been arrested over the outibg of of CIA agent.Comment

Many contest that Plame was not covert at the time of the "outing". A typical, "let's nail Bush", witch hunt.
A few points:
Had not Plame been outed years ago by a Soviet agent?
Was she not on an administrative, not operational, track at Langley?
How could she be covert if, in public view, she drove to work each day at Langley?
What about comments by then CIA spokesman Bill Harlow that Plame never would be given another foreign assignment?
What about testimony to the FBI that her CIA employment was common knowledge in Washington?
It had been 5 years since she had been over seas on assignment.
It was common knowledge among her friends and family that she worked for the CIA.
Doesn't seem too "covert" to me.Comment

I can't speak for anywhere but here in Illinois, but one thing is for certain, when it comes to chitcago republican politicians there is no disguise involved. When they come out of the cesspool of chitcago they smell just as foul from raw sewage as the democrats. That's why the White House has been filled with that sickening chitcago political sewage odor for the past 7 1/2 years.Originally posted by kidrock View PostComment
