Justifications for War Begin to Unravel

Not that it will come as any surprise. Not as if it wasn't obvious.

The Downing Street Memos

"The facts revealed in these secret government documents demand a response. The American people deserve to know if they were misled into war."

What is amazing to me is that there is any pretense of a need of "determining" if the US administration spun the lead up to the war. Its completely obvious that they did. Any rational objective person (even causally) watching the news would conclude that they were full of shit from the start.

What was the *big* issue? Weapons of mass destruction?

The U.N. and U.S. intelligence sources have known for some time that Saddam Hussein has materials to produce chemical and biological weapons, but he has not accounted for them:

* 26,000 liters of anthrax—enough to kill several million people
* 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin
* 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents

Um, yeah.

or no wait, it was terrorist! *cough*

Wonder what happened to these people?

Answers come out eventually I guess, and, well after 4.2 million victims really.
