It was a nice try to deflect the focus of this sub-thread away from the CEIP comment about systematic misprepresentation of the Iraqi threat by the Bush adminstration.

Because of these efforts, a lot of people across the political spectrum used to think that Iraq was a clear and present danger to the United States, apparently the CEIP among them. As I previously noted, the Mighty Wurlitzer was playing that one-note samba 24/7, and many were dancing to the beat of WMD macarena.

I don't feel obligated, and I certainly don't have the time, to respond to all of your comments, or make remarks about all of the links you post. Rather, I try to restrict myself to making short responses to selected comments which I feel are most germane to the topic under discussion.

In this case, the main issue of the article posted by Donald seems to be that the Iraqi threat was primarily a paper one. I made a couple of posts in this thread, with supporting links, to amplify that point, and also to underline my central theme that the Bush administration deceived the nation to justify war.
