The "Intelligence community" was RIGHT on WMD's

[mzmolly]

Can we compile a list of the intelligence that pointed out that Saddam had NO WMD'S and post it here?

For starters:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3323633.stm

"Iraq probably destroyed its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the early 1990s," the former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said.

...

"I doubt that he will reveal any WMD, because I think both we UN inspectors and the American inspectors have been looking around and come to the conclusion that there aren't any," Mr Blix said.

From Time Magazine on Scott Ritter:

Scott Ritter was the UN's top weapons inspector in Iraq until 1998, when he resigned claiming President Clinton was too easy on Saddam. Now he says the dictator doesn't seem to have weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that trying to oust Saddam is "extremely dangerous." TIME's Massimo Calabresi asked the voluble former marine about his recent private trip to Baghdad, Jane Fonda, and accusations he's a spy for Israel, Iraq or Russia.

Does the "intelligence" on WMD get any higher then the chief weapons inspector(s)? I don't think so.

2. Here is a Congressman that apparently read the intelligence reports,

laying it all out accurately and crystal clear prior to the invasion:

November 2002 issue
The Bloodstained Path
by Dennis Kucinich

Unilateral military action by the United States against Iraq is unjustified, unwarranted, and illegal. The Administration has failed to make the case that Iraq poses an imminent threat to the United States. There is no credible evidence linking Iraq to 9/11. There is no credible evidence linking Iraq to Al Qaeda. Nor is there any credible evidence that Iraq possesses deliverable weapons of mass destruction, or that it intends to deliver them against the United States.
snip----
Unilateral action on the part of the United States, or in partnership with Great Britain, would for the first time set our nation on the bloodstained path of aggressive war, a sacrilege upon the memory of those who fought to defend this country. America's moral authority would be undermined throughout the world. It would destabilize the entire Persian Gulf and Middle East region. And it would signal for Russia to invade Georgia; China, Taiwan; North Korea, the South; India, Pakistan.
snip---
We must drop the self-defeating policy of regime change. Policies of aggression and assassination are not worthy of any nation with a democratic tradition, let alone a nation of people who love liberty and whose sons and daughters sacrifice to maintain that democracy.
snip---
America cannot and should not be the world's policeman. America cannot and should not try to pick the leaders of other nations. Nor should America and the American people be pressed into the service of international oil interests and arms dealers.

3. The Cheney administration

had three investigations in an effort to show that Iraq had bought yellow cake uranium from Niger. The third investigation was conducted by Joseph Wilson, for the CIA. Wilson concluded the first two investigations were correct in saying that Iraq had not bought yellow cake uranium from Niger.

We can count this as either one, or three, investigations. A trinity, of sorts.

6. Ah, yes .. who could forget Mr. Wilson.
