Lacking biolabs, trailers carried case for war. The admin knowingly lied about the trailers. Damn, I was surprised. So, surprised I almost put this in Latest Breaking News.
I do not understand how anyone that is living in the real world can believe anything scrub says. To be honest, if he was describing something I was looking at, I'd figure my eyes were deceiving me.
Here's the story (although it's probably been posted a dozen times):
On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."
The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true.
A secret fact-finding mission to Iraq -- not made public until now -- had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement.
