the weapons inspection process was little more than a game taken seal denied to see the return of inspectors would provide no assurance whatsoever to eliminate by inspection is quite frankly a fool's errand on the contrary there is a great danger that it would provide false comfort that saddam was somehow back in

his mocks reality is that between the original unscom inspections and the unmovic inspections you destroyed with those inspections ninety two probably ninety five percent of the iraqi arsenal the first gulf war destroyed almost nothing. and you know post-war u.s. al damage assessments confirm the weapons inspectors were effective before saddam to get rid of the stuff. they had a country under control by nine hundred ninety eight it's a latest those inspectors have discovered most of the weapons of mass destruction and the iraqi programs at that point were essentially at an end before the war in iraq the united nations inspectors told us. that thought i was saying. did not have nuclear weapons capability ironically the

major effect of the invasion of iraq and terms of weapons of mass destruction as the bit has been to show that the inspectors were right all along the inspection regime worked. it was the most intrusive inspection regime in history and it worked within the day that's another reason why we went to war for. these maniacs the courage of our enemies and weakening our troops resolve and confusing the american people you should listen to these protests because they're obviously helping saddam hussein who would have guessed that you could build a massive international peace movement on the protection of sadam hussein the media

is culpable for the misleading of the american public they bought into the bush administration's rhetoric they don't understand that there is moral violence and immoral violence we use moral violence god bless this president he is truly a great man reducing troop morale confusing the american people involving our enemies they are absolutely committing sedition treasonous far as i'm concerned is a huge difference between personal opinion and opinion which the grades and the bases are military in a time of war it's a disgrace i don't believe the mainstream media acted responsibly in regards to iraq you know i was be little i was called a traitor i was called crazy palos on of c.n.n. accused me of drinking saddam hussein's kool-aid for making accurate statements of response to aluminum tubes people out there accusing you of drinking saddam hussein's co i thought of an idealogue that i'm a republican idealogue i'm actually a fairly conservative person who voted for george w. bush but i don't allow my ideology to get in the way of the facts and the reality

of my duties and responsibilities as an american citizen the media is supposed to be the fourth estate they decided to completely climb in bed with the administration on this in a way the administration constructed a box were and that was that box had all the information it could ministration wanted to the media and the public and congress what they would do is you'd have iraqi national congress. taking bogus defectors the information from them giving them to the pentagon and the iraqi national congress then giving them to the journalists and they said if you don't believe us iraqi national congress call the pentagon so you have the circular reporting and you had the new york times admitting that it was using one source for all of its information on weapons of mass destruction and it was as you know self affirming by going to the pentagon which to put this stuff on paper it was served. right exaggerations partial information sometimes the whole information but on balance

a very one sided view of iraq stuff the program had a lot of these stories the journalist in want to look into because the editors told them to run with we're going to be supportive of the administration it's a patriotic thing to do i think that there was a part of media too much of of in a sense getting into the coming war and not enough look air do we really need to go there were some journalists out there raising the alarm bells and seymour hersh is the walter pincus of the world but unfortunately those great investigative reporters there are usually exiled when the heat is on and it's only after the fact that they end up being praised and given the pats on the back and the excitement was to make the case to go to war or to show that you know that was the controversy to the media barty's you know it was the titillation of a w m d hideous not that not the titillation of or the conflict of tacky ministration all the washington post the new york times it very conservative

editors that support of the white house on this. the people of the united states and the friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an hour regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime has an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about it we know for a fact that there are weapons there. there were a group of people who for many years had advocated going after saddam hussein and they push this hard and of course raw intelligence data can be interpreted in a lot of different ways as censure experts who talk to you about. and so there were a group of people i think that were adamant that this was the right course to pursue a. period

. to. period. we'll eat. sleep. eat. the of the so. the so we'll. be i'm. so sorry to be an.

elite. elite. why did the administration so dramatically underestimate the cost of this war we did not have perfect foresight into what we were going on in iraq. with the cost of the war rising and the search for weapons of mass destruction going nowhere the administration turns to david kay this work is being carried out into the direction dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapon search in iraq we are determined to take this apart you have a tremendous group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. dr kay and his team are

making progress we have had found a large body of continuing activities and equipment. we are surprised by new advances that we're making at work of laboratories and safe houses controlled by iraqi intelligence and security services and unlike pre-war intelligence we don't require someone just to say something we actually need the physical evidence equipment suitable for continuing chemical and biological weapons research. they can not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund the continuing search have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group

complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment and that is most disturbing. it's inevitable that there will be an outside commission appointed i mean the issue of this gravity of epic hearings and we will get to the bottom of this and we will let the chips fall where they may democracy you have an obligation your obligation is to speak truthfully to the public that's the basis of civility in our belief in our system of government it is going to require an outside air for probably through an outside commission to deal with some of these very serious problems is i think explanations are important in a democracy this whole episode has caught the white house completely by surprise they've become so fearful of admitting error that they stand up and defend things that own their faith a face or untruthful president bush is being pounded with calls for an independent investigation into how u.s. intelligence so badly misjudged iraq's capabilities before the war having

a presence holding all the cards pointing all the people having everybody accountable to him is a very fair if i would care to try to operationalize some a common sight made about what was going wrong in iraq and so i said if you among other things that if you're going to do this you have to treat it like an intelligence problem and that is not go looking for hidden weapons but going looking for the people who would be associated with hidden weapons one of the first things that worried me was we had a big army running through iraq in march and april. the b.m.d. was not used against them. nor was it found that sort of remarkable if they had had large stockpiles i really believe in the jungle telegraph put the word out on the street let people know what you're about what you have to offer and usually you'll get people coming to you around the weapons program of a weapons program exists you're going to find people people engaged in the production of technology engineering design people involved in protecting the

weapons people involved in moving them and people involved in preparing to use the weapons we found none of them we were running into fewer and fewer leads but look profitable and a lot of evidence that stacked up to explain something other than large stockpiles of weapons this committee has a special responsibility to the men and women of our armed forces to look at the pre-war intelligence because planning for military operations is policymakers take data they interpret threat they assess risk and you talk about. it and how much more now than it was rescued it's left out of the public light of the see any of us feel that the evidence so far leads only to one conclusion. but what has happened was more than a failure of intelligence was a result of unit collation of the intelligence to justify decision to go to war secret societies have their own rules and. secret societies generally don't feel an

obligation to openly and democratically communicate prime minister blair has set up a system where commission in great britain at his is going to report back and so i write ours are not going to be until march of two thousand and five five months after the presidential election should the american people have the benefit of the commission before the election well the reason why we gave the time is because we didn't want to be hurried this is a this is a strategic look kind of big picture look about the intelligence gathering capacities of the united states of america. if there are no weapons of mass destruction which there aren't if there are no ties with al qaeda which they weren't and which they aren't maybe now there are. then why do we go to war. well all you need do is go on the web and and download

project for a new american century day you will find the video logical and the strategic underpinnings put this policy which was rejected by george bush the first which is really kewl out of town in those days became the about policy of this government and it was implemented starting with the war i felt in my last year in the pentagon that i felt there was a great deal of contempt for the constraints on government that our constitution lays out. and i also felt that there was a contempt for the constitution and i only absorb this sense of contempt by association with with some of the so senior appointed civilians who are all neoconservatives who all believe in dominance who believe in preemption who believe in the military option as the first resort rather than the last resort they have

a very fixed indeed almost obsessive idea and in fact iraq is a major actor in the world and a probable threat possibly a deadly threat to the united states this is a group of people who are essentially believe that might makes right. that the united states at this stage of history has unchallengable power and therefore responsibility to use it to. make the world over. the manner that we or the other think it ought to be made over i think behind the basic neoconservative philosophy is a considerable arkan's that american interests are the primary. goal of all american foreign policy and they seem to have a really serious habit of not being interested in listening to what other people say about this subject so i don't think it's an accident at all. so much of the

justification current. felicia's. misleading deliberately so they thought they had a place in history they were going to bring down obviously a fairy dysfunctional arab peninsula as well as a rat and it will change history people believe they won the cold war. and they said i we won the cold war because we were tough soviet union we get tough with these people and they're going to come like us it is fear to say that the iraq war was a diversion from. from the war on terrorism and certainly meant to people weren't paying as much attention to afghanistan as they should have and the resources that might have gone to afghanistan and into being focused more on a rock if you if you attack another country with no justification if we're going to say women this is a war on terrorism this is

a war on. this be imperialism this is colonialism you know and this is why it's a distraction because you need the help but these people get this view that the cia and the f.b.i. are lurking around the bazaars in the six the middle east and handcuffing people or saxony as it is not with your work you've got to have the help of the locals to dennis by these people and you know put him in jail or remove him from the only person saddam was a threat to at this point as we saw with the army collapsed was to iraq he did have weapons of mass destruction he wasn't scaring anybody certainly wasn't scaring the iranians or the turks or the saudis or anybody else it was a state that was on the verge of failure now it is a failed state failed states because terrorism you know you can name afghanistan lebannon somalia any time you can you create a vacuum it's where people flock to discontented to fight wars and some of bin

ladin had been saying for years america wants to invade an arab country i'll keep i had an oil rich arab country. you've been saying this is part of his propaganda so what did we do after nine eleven we invade and the oil rich will occupy an oil rich arab country which was doing nothing but trouble us the only real connection is that having invaded iraq. we are very likely to make it a focus of terrorism we're likely to produce what the president has said iraq represents namely the central battlefield in the war on terrorism why because we've sent a lot of americans into a place where they're sitting ducks for people who think the only good american is a dead one. on the. iraq

cannot be governed by americans ok what the intention is i don't care if we truly want to build a democracy it cannot be ruled by foreign powers the only tool in the tool box the bush administration is military force and military force is a very blunt instrument it just doesn't work we've created more terrorists in iraq and we hadn't even solve the problem in afghanistan one of the more ironic effects of the attack on iraq was. to buttress other countries in the conviction of the famous remark but in general after the first gulf war when he said the lesson of this war is that if you if you have to fight the united states you better have nuclear weapons you don't want your president to be seen as a hot dog and when when your president gets into a job soon gets in the back of a jet and lands on an aircraft carrier and then waddles out with this little straps between his legs and that's not when you want

a sign of kind of maturity and testosterone blasting through when you're talking about. things so fundamentally important as something of a shock the war and sending young men and women to their deaths there is a sense in washington now that you can't raise. objections to this because you're not supporting troops in the field i would i would rapidly point out that the unlike almost anybody i know that holds an office in this country two sons in uniform both of whom have been in combat and so i don't have to take any nonsense from anybody nor will i mark twain's definition of patriotism and patriotism is supporting your country all the time. and your government when it deserves it well i don't think it's patriotic to stand by and remain silent while your country stumbles into disaster or patriotism is the last refuge scoundrels of. hundreds and

i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation but i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others have. i know that the insight is oh right mistakes it's more likely to be mistakes and it's more like it could be mr if there is no criticism it was jefferson who said that that our kind of government is not based on trust it's based on in fact suspicion to suggest that if you have a different viewpoint than any given an administration and or if you are not supporting the president and policies that may be highly erroneous i don't see that as patriotism at all in fact i would argue that. any patriot with integrity is going to speak out if he or she feels that that we're on the wrong course it's not unpatriotic that the man that congress holds its constitution responsible for

guarding the declaration of war it's not unpatriotic to be very upset vocally upset when congress abrogates this constitutional responsibility by transferring the war powers authority to the president had states as they did in october of two thousand and two thousand when you guys were work at nasa dot com i was out in iraq trying to get rid of saddam and almost got killed for it and besides i was going to jail so it doesn't take a whole lot of courage for me to come out against the war and i did at the beginning but i was studiously ignored when we did the first gulf war when i came out of baghdad in one thousand nine hundred one i met with president i states i met with the senior leadership of both parties and the one thing that sticks with me to this day is extent to which each one of them. explained to me in very emotional terms the extent to which they had had to plan their consciences. to come to an. solution how to vote on the use of force authorization this had been

a moral decision on their part but it didn't one that kept them up at night is a thought their way through this we owe our soldiers our sailors our airmen and our marines nothing west before we send them to bam sometimes the true patriot takes the unpopular course but helps their country avoid mistakes and even if they can't persuade at least for me america has this amazing land of opportunity beauty of idealism hope it is a beacon to the world it's a place of fantastic people and what infuriates me more than anything else is that this is ministration has systematically slander white all that black and the image of america to our friends and allies around the world having the authority and the ability to go and wage war is a very very strong feeling and he needs to be done with care and with deliberation

and with genuine forethought and i think that none of that was present in a lead up to this entire debacle of what we now call coming freedom and when going up or it has no clothes you have to have the presence of mind and the courage to stand up and say it perhaps not close. regime is seeking a new killer pop. these attempted to push a specially trained to use shoes for me you will inspire each.
