Okay, so you know how the president has been saying all along that Saddam could use chemical or biological weapons against us at any time and that was the main reason that we had to go in there NOW instead of letting the diplomatic approach (weapon's inspectors) take it's time? Well, according to the intelligence community, that was not the case. They released a classified report stating that Saddam would probably NOT use his weapons unless provoked in the form of our invasion...in fact, the report (which has now been declassifed in part) concluded that Saddam would be more of a threat if we invaded and he was deposed -- for the very fact that he'd have nothing to lose anymore.

The Washington Post reports.

So, in a nutshell, the story that is develpoing of the entire situation is that Bush picked up pieces of intel that made it sound like we were in real danger, while completely ignoring pieces of intel that made us sound safe -- including the professional opinion of the entire intel community -- in order to get us to war. Say what you will, but that is deception of the highest order and so incredibly not appropriate in a respresentative democracy where things are done in the voters' names by people that we voted in because we thought they'd represent us. This is not the case, not at all. Every American should be outraged....EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US and I'm even more disgusted that there are so many still standing up for this man.

This is totally unacceptable. Totally freakin' unconstitutional as well...and dangerous -- we now live in a more dangerous world than we did before the war, and the intelligence community knew we would and told the president so...and the president ignored them.
