Intelligence is a funny thing. It can be interpreted a number of ways, based on what one wants to see. Remember that a good portion of the "intelligence" was based on an previously unreliable source named Curveball. Did you see him on 60 Minutes? He admitted that he made it up. Furthermore, no American intelligence source ever met Curveball. He reported through a foreign source. His reports were not collaborated by other sources. Based on his (unreliable) reporting, movements of trucks around a certain factory were construed to have one meaning, but were later proved to be something completely different.

But you go ahead and cling to your beliefs. History will bear me out. There was an agenda and it had nothing to do with WMD or terrorists.

And no, I am not at all happy about Libya. Yes, Obama via Susan Rice has put together a coalition, but I think it is wrong headed for us to get involved. The situation in Libya has no significant national security threat on the US. It's just another example of opportunism. And yes, I do believe that Kadafi sponsors terrorism. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that he has been channeling financial support to Al Kayda. (sorry, my spelling skills seem to have abandoned me tonight)
