aggressive about it but i did report what happened internally and significantly the cia director george tennant went to make a presentation to president bush about whether our weapons of mass destruction and president bush kind of was doubted that the intelligence was that solid and george tennant stood up in the oval office and said it's a slam dunk, mr. president. it is a slam dunk. so that was the view at the highest level in the cia and as you may recall: powell, secretary of state gave that famous speech at the united nations in which he held up a little bottle and said you know this contains a chemical weapon and this is what iraq has and howell has since said it is his most embarrassing and his worst moment in his tenure, not only as a military officer but as secretary of state. i should have been more aggressive than i should have been quite frankly in that story i cited to "the washington post" i should have understood when you don't have smoking gun haintelligence you are not sure when you will go to war on that basis anyway. >> host: christopher in oklahoma supporting the biden harri
