There is a right way and wrong way to go about defending yourself. Falsifying information to start wars on your behalf is not the way to do business with other people. Unless you're also one of the types that thinks that the ends justifies the means. Playing the victim card when everything you're doing is 100% wrong is, well, wrong.

No matter what, the people that get screwed in this are the american tax paying public and the Iraqi people with their money and lives.
You should have stated that you think this information is incorrect when you originally typed.

You are assuming that Israel did actually falsify intellegence to start the war. Have you personally read this report by Brom? Or are you reading it simply from the artical on the first post? I thought the idea of ATS was to question what is reported.
I can't deny the logic that falsifying information to start wars is wrong. Its just that I don't believe that there was falsified information on the part of the mossad. You obviously do. Its a difference of opinion.

get a clue please. whoever brought it about... who cares... israel, us, whatever... stop making it like it's a bad thing that this piece of # was ripped out of power.
you know... we all know there's # the government does that's wrong. we all know that intelligence agencies around the world do nasty things. ok. but i dont get you people. poor saddam, poor aristede, boo-#ing-hoo.
i have never in my life seen people who are so pompous, talk smack about what happened 5,000 miles away. you don't know what it was like to live under saddam, you also dont know what it was like to live under a psychotic (yes proven) ruler like aristede. so what are you ranting about? the world, and the nations in question are better off. regardless of how or why. am i wrong in that?

Oh, I'm sure our leaders knew it was bull#, much as I stated earlier. The public even knew to a degree it was which is why there was protesting before the war started. However it didn't help to stop it.

So, Isreal fed the info to the Americans? And the Americans blindly believed it? I find it hard to believe that anyone would go to war on info that they havn't even followed up on. Anyway, as I stated before, I don't believe the Israelis are that underhand.
It�s no secret that much of the news reported in Israel�s Hebrew-language media never reaches the mainstream American press, for the simple reason that items unfavorable to Israel generally are not translated
Thats not what this thread is about. Please re-read the thread again. I don't think anybody in the thread, including myself said that Saddam had never used WMD. I said that Iraq had no WMD before the invasion and that somebody is giving out bull# intelligence reports. I'd say its was a mix of both Ahmed Chalabi, the Mossad, and the CIA and other U.S. security agencies including our current administrations little OSP group.

I wouldn't feel bad, but then I wouldn't be so angry about the likelihood that Israel was falsifying intelligence to cause this invasion.
I find the statement that you'll feel bad for Israel if Iraq and al-qaeda have connections to be curious. Hey while we're at it, if it snows 7" in New York on August 8th I'll give you a dollar.
Baseless? How is figuring out the truth of who lied baseless? Somebody did, or would you rather us blame Bush (which I will too). 9/11 didn't enter into this thread until you said it. Stop trying to derail the topic. Same goes for the rest of your little temper tantrum here.
It just goes to show the endless parade of baseless bull# that is spit out in some threads here. It used to be that Israel was to blame for the whole #ing world except 9/11 which was that devil Bush. That apparently bored some of the intellectuals here. So now that too goes to Israel. Yay! And hell, forget 9/11. That's old. They did Iraq too. And um um, and Haiti. Those mother#ers did haiti too right? The mossad mustve kidnapped Aristede.

heelstone, please don't insult yourself by saying that criticizing baseless crap is a bad thing.
Where then are we supposed to get this information? Most so called reputable sources do not promote it. We take what we can get.
sometimes it bothers people when others consider the same repetitive garbage to be dull and stupid already. i understand. i don't mean to offend anyone but please accept my apologies for not accepting "liberty forum" as a concrete source of evidence about intelligence documents and theories.
What about Ahmed Chalabi, one of our main pre-war intelligence men admitting he lied and being prepared to "fall on swords" for Bush? What about Katherine Gun being vindicated after leaking the emails of the NSA regarding coercion of the UNSC for starting this invasion? Those are facts sir. This is new information and we are awaiting further news on it to see just how real it is. From what I am reading it flows very well with what we know already so it ties in nicely to the Ahmed Chalabi and Katherine Gun revelations.
that's all this stuff is heelstone, theories. the site has a theory. that's nice.
Some of us are after more truth than others.
and the same way you'll scream about their right to post it, i damn well expect you to scream about mine and other's rights to expose it. we are all after truth aren't we?
Who are you calling an ass?
Now... as all of you PROUD opponents of Israel are always happy to tell me, there are SOOOOOOOOOOOO many jews who are against the Israeli government, and they have websites and everything. But now your new source here claims that those people are incapable of simple translations. Funny #. You guys should read these things first. I'm happy to see this sloth believes that no human being who speaks Hebrew is capable of exposing "wrongdoing" in Israel. Ass.
