Under-Fire President Waters Down Claims on Iraqi Weapons
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0610-02.htm
PRESIDENT BUSH insisted yesterday that US forces would reveal that Iraq was
pursuing weapons of mass destruction as he tried to douse growing doubts
about the credibility of American intelligence.
“Iraq had a weapons programme. Intelligence throughout the decade showed they
had a weapons programme,” Mr Bush said. “I am absolutely convinced, with
time, we’ll find out that they did have a weapons programme.”
However, he stopped short of his previous assertions that Iraq’s weapons of
mass destruction had posed an imminent threat. Nor did he say that the United
States would uncover biological and chemical agents.
Instead, he sought to justify the invasion of Iraq on humanitarian grounds,
saying: “History in time will prove that the United States made the absolute
right decision in freeing the people of Iraq from the clutches of Saddam
Hussein.”
His comments came as the White House was forced on the back foot on several
fronts, with the use of US intelligence to justify the war under growing
scrutiny.

A weapons programme and WoMD are not the same thing. Canada has a weapons
programme somewhere, I’m sure--our armed forces must have some sort of hardware
for their job.
Telling a country that they can’t have a weapons program?? Telling Iraq that
they couldn’t have a weapons progam was *not* the reason for this fiasco.
This is backpedalling...
This is wrong.
Where’s the accountability?
