I don't think it was a misunderstanding... It was a ploy to make Saddam look dangerous to the Arab world and a reason to install military bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait... Saddam was just used for this purpose, just as he was used before against Iran... Simple as that...
Interesting theory that ties up some annoying loose ends. Hard to believe some Richard Clarke type attention seeker woudn't have spilled the beans by now though. I wish I thought our people were clever enough to come up with that plan.
ahhh the tangled webs we weave:eek: :eek: pawn in the game, war a heck of a business, serves sooooo many interests.
Fully agreed!!!! and all that $$$ would have stayed here benefiting the people, not the merchants of war..
Chalabi is obviously bent. Anyone that good at political lobbying in Washington is, by definition, untrustrorthy and harmful to the interests of the west.
Chalabi accuses Tenet of spurring intelligence probe MSNBC News Services Updated: 1:57 p.m. ET June 03, 2004 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5115567/ "Iraqi exile leader Ahmad Chalabi accused CIA Director George Tenet on Thursday of being responsible for allegations that he passed intelligence information to Iran. Chalabi, a former member of the Iraqi Governing Council, made the accusation after President Bush announced that Tenet was stepping down as CIA director for personal reasons. Tenetâs announcement came amid new storms over intelligence issues, including an alleged Defense Department leak of highly classified intelligence to Chalabi." hmmmm I wonder if GW trusts Chalabi over Tenet.. anything to do with Tenet's jumping ship?
