Back in December 2002 General Amir al-Saadi - Iraq's top government scientist and a close advisor to Saddam Hussein - insisted that Iraq had no prohibited weapons and publicly invited the CIA to join the U.N. inspection teams.

The Bush admin declined the offer.

Hell, that is a major breakthrough, being able to get the CIA in there to verify for us. Why pass something like that up unless...
you really don't want to avert war.
I have a hard time believing that too, but there is mounting evidence. These two stories, plus Bush trying to implicate Iraq from the get go into 9/11. I can't help but believe that he has been pursuing real war, damn the diplomacy for over 2 years now.
