my post was on foreign policy in general, you responded with a narrow slice of the iraq/war on terror issue.
but still, even in that post you specifically listed france russia and germany... 3 nations who had the biggest investment in Saddam's regime. 3 nations who would have much to lose in a shake-up in that region. Of course you can't blame them for taking that stance, but don't think the intelligence they chose to share or the statements they released weren't tainted by that.
