Stumble it!Lies, Lies, Lies… and, oh, more Lies
posted in Iraq, Politics, War by themaiden |… US dollars into it and we got there because of lies. (Counter courtesy of CostofWar.com.)
Anyone who has been paying attention has heard of ‘Curve Ball’. ‘Curve Ball’ was the Bush Team man of the hour back when we were ramping up for invasion. He was our super secret spy guy, our inside source, our Hussein buster. He was the man that trumped every other god-damned piece– well, probably not quite– of intelligence the world super spy organizations were able to collect about WMDs in Iraq.
Rafid Ahmed Alwan, known as “Curve Ball” in intelligence circles, is not a chemical engineering expert, according to the report, which instead characterized Alwan as a liar, a thief and poor student.
Bloody Hell!
The CIA received hundreds of summaries of debriefings with Alwan, contributing to other intelligence reports that led the United States to bomb and invade Iraq….
A letter addressed to Tenet from the head of German intelligence states that Alwan’s information appeared to be believable, but there was nothing to back up his allegations….
But CIA weapons inspectors visited the plant at Djerf al Nadaf before the invasion, finding no evidence of biological agents, CBS states in its report, adding that Alwan is likely in Germany today, living freely under an assumed name.
So why did we listen? Convenience I suppose.
Now, why haven’t we impeached the people responsible for this nightmare?
