This thread is a deliberate attempt to mislead Americans and distort the truth.
He relies on the Robb-Silverman to absolve himself
But that report specifically did not examine how Fleischer presented the intel to the public

Let's just do one example.
Cheney said in 2003: "We know he [Saddam Hussein] has been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons. And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
