I wonder if they've done an investigation on how many times the media have lied about it since those two years? In fact, with a banner like "ORCHESTRATED
DECEPTION ON
THE PATH TO WAR" (emphasis theirs) one has to question the integrity of The Center For Public Integrity.
Doesn't anyone find it odd that in the intro to their study they cite "the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (2004 and 2006), the 9/11 Commission, and the multinational Iraq Survey Group" to support their claims but fail to cite how many times the UN "resolved" to hold Saddam accountable for his WMD's and related programs?
Can anyone tell me yet if they've been accounted for?????? No? I didn't think so. In fact, even Duelfer himself reports "A lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria." What was it?
One of CPI's first "lies" they cite is this from Condoleeza Rice:
Quote:

We worry about Saddam Hussein. We worry about his weapons of mass destruction that he's trying to achieve. There's a reason he doesn't want U.N. inspectors—it's because he intends to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

Yet, in Duelfer's "Key Findings" he states:
Quote:
| Saddam wanted to recreate Iraq’s WMD capability—which was essentially destroyed in 1991—after sanctions were removed and Iraq’s economy stabilized, but probably with a different mix of capabilities to that which previously existed. Saddam aspired to develop a nuclear capability—in an incremental fashion, irrespective of international pressure and the resulting economic risks—but he intended to focus on ballistic missile and tactical chemical warfare (CW) capabilities.

So who is lying?
