Cliff May:

I’ve just been watching Chuck Schumer tell Imus that “90%” of the intelligence indicated that Saddam Hussein had no WMD, while “10%” suggested that he did – and that Cheney et al. decided to go with the 10%.

If that were true, how would it have been possible to get the entire UN Security Council to vote for Resolution 1441 -- which gave Saddam one last chance to disclose where his WMD were, and to destroy his WMD in a manner verifiable to weapons inspectors?

Perhaps Imus sincerely doesn’t know that every major intelligence service in the world – including the British and the French -- believed Saddam had retained his WMD. Perhaps he doesn’t know that the Duelfer Commission concluded that whatever Saddam did with his stockpiles (it’s still a mystery), he retained both the ability and intent to recreate WMD as soon as he thought the coast was clear.

But it is not conceivable that Schumer has missed that information.

While the leftist media creates a storm over reports that American forces in Iraq have paid to run factually-accurate reporting in Iraqi newspapers we've got Chuck Schumer at home pulling crap like this.

Propaganda indeed. If you want to criticize a disinformation campaign how about starting with the Democrats and their multiple positions, historical revisionism and down-right falsehood on Iraq.
