Canadian intelligence assessments of Saddam's Iraq got it right, new paper says

A new research paper says Canadian intelligence assessments on Iraq were generally accurate in the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion of 2003 — unlike reports produced in Washington and London that were used to justify war.

"Canada's intelligence assessments on Iraq in 2002 and 2003 subsequently turned out to be largely correct, while the analysis of most other countries on key Iraq issues — as far as is publicly known — was flawed," the research paper concludes.

Sooooo Biden, Hillary, Feinstein, Kerry, Schumer among others are Conservatives? Are they DINOs or something?


By the way, Bush didn't go after Iraq because of "Weapons of Mass Destruction", he went in because of weapons of mass death, a distinction WITH a difference. And we KNOW that Iraq had chem weapons technology.

So, they admit to not having all the information, which makes this study also flawed.

Yeah, we had the receipts.

First time I heard that term though. Bush and Co. always said "weapons of mass destruction." And Condoleeza Rice said "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."

Do you deny that that's a clear reference to nuclear weapons?

Interesting not anything to do with Chretien's business investments in his French family business in Irag?

Nope.

Chretien is a good man.

Nope.
Chretien is a good man.

Oh really?

Many puzzled Canadians have watched while Jean Chretien pursued an anti-American, pro-Saddam Hussein policy that is not in the best interests of Canada. If Hussein had managed to retain power, Jean Chretien's family stood to make millions. We believe that much can be explained by examining the political and familial connections of the Prime Minister.

Jean Chretien's daughter France is married to Andre Desmarais, the son of Paul Desmarais, of Power Corporation. Andre is on the board of multinational communications conglomerate Vivendi. He runs Power Corporation. (estimated annual revenues $18-billion)

Many Canadians will remember Jean Chretien's frequent trips to China. Andre Desmarais sits on the board of Peoples' Republic of China's China International Trust and Investment Corporation. This is considered to be the investment arm of the Chinese military. Through Project Sidewinder, the RCMP tried to investigate the links between the Prime Minister of Canada, Desmarais and China. and potential undue influence on Canadian politicians. For more information on the China connection read the WatchDog article "Jean Chretien and the Sidewinder Report."

Jean Chretien supported the powerful third world bloc of the UN. He supported France, Germany and Russia whose oil and debt interests in Iraq apparently override any human rights violation or concerns. He could have another more immediate reason. According to Diane Francis of the National Post, Paris-based TotalFinaElf's biggest shareholder is Paul Desmarais Sr. She also states in a recent article, "Canada's stance is all the more unacceptable because it aligns us with such soiled nations as France, Germany and Russia which made billions of dollars with Saddam Hussein, ran interference for him diplomatically and signed huge future oil contracts with his deposed regime." --End of quote. Paul Desmarais Jr. sits on the board of TotalFinaElf.

Totalfinael apparently now has a large share of the major oilsands project in Alberta. The Alberta Oilsands could be one of the two largest relatively untapped oil reserves in the world. It will not be in France's interests to have Alberta secede to become a new independent nation or to join with the United States......Much more about the righteous Chretien

Despite all that, which is arguably very mild compared to evil conservatives, he is still a good man.
