Nah, BitWhys, even that take is essentially missing
a greater problem at that time.
I totally agree that Bush company was totally
opportunistic in making its case and "enhanced'
certain reports over other reports that contradicted
their case.
However, review the headlines prior to the weapons
inspectors getting the runaround from Saddam Hussein.
Go back to that moment, when the last inspectors
were kicked out by Saddam during the Clinton
administration before 2000.
What were the headlines about ?
Europe was pushing to remove the embargo entirely.
The Russians and French and German business had
big business contracts on the oil infrastructure and
to continue with nuclear power, for which not all debts
are yet totally forgiven to give that country a new
chance.
That means the No-Fly Zones were in jeopardy.
With an Embargo over, and Saddam already shooting
back at the American planes, Saddam would be inviting
French, German and Russian business into those zones
getting shot at by an American plane ?
The headlines were about backing off completely,
stopping the Embargo, while all inspectors of weapons
were kicked out.
All the while Saddam reiterating his wish he had
nuclear weapons first before having invaded Kuwait.
I dunno we got short term amnesia how all this
crap got unravelled.
Plenty of lunacy to go around.
So at that point in time, America and Britain refused to
have the Embargo stopped, having had let the UN Food For
Palaces Program be a fight for another day.
This was done to insist that the No-Fly Zones stay, and the
inspectors come back.
Then we saw the games begin by all sides.
