I'm only posting this because a few posters on this board still think there are WMD out there and will never give up on this belief.
Iraqi diplomat gave U.S. prewar WMD details
Saddam’s foreign minister told CIA the truth, so why didn’t agency listen?

But on that very trip, there was also a secret contact made. The contact was brokered by the French intelligence service, sources say. Intelligence sources say that in a New York hotel room, CIA officers met with an intermediary who represented Sabri. All discussions between Sabri and the CIA were conducted through a "cutout," or third party. Through the intermediary, intelligence sources say, the CIA paid Sabri more than $100,000 in what was, essentially, "good-faith money." And for his part, Sabri, again through the intermediary, relayed information about Saddam’s actual capabilities.

The typical Iraqi informant would tell the CIA what they wanted to hear..............all for the right price of course. Why would a guy being paid $100,000 tell the CIA the opposite of what they wanted to hear? Because he was telling the truth, that's why.
Deal with it, and move on......................
We are not there to remove WMD.
We are not their to free them.
We are not there because that's where the 9/11/2001 terrorist came from.
We may not even be there for the oil, afterall oil surplus means lower oil prices and that does not help profits in that industry.
We are there to protect the dollar from the Euro, and oil exchanges are still based on the dollar - we won.
We won, so can we come home now?
