If You Want To Play The Game

When I Resigned, I Put The U.s. Government On Notice That I'm Going To Stick To Policy Issues, That I Have No Intention Of Going Out And Blowing The Cover Off Of The Intelligence Operations, That Those Are Truly Sensitive And They Should Not Be Exposed.

Iraq Has A Tremendous Amount Of History.

My Goal In Baghdad Was To Facilitate A Debate Here In The United States On America's Policy Toward Iraq, A Debate That's Been Sadly Lacking.

The Un Stopped Using Chalabi's Information As A Basis For Conducting Inspections Once The Tenuous Nature Of His Sources And His Dubious Motivations Became Clear. Unfortunately, The Same Cannot Be Said For The Mainstream Us Media, Which Give Prominent Coverage To Sources Of Information That, Had They Not Been Related To Hussein's Iraq, Would Normally Be Immediately Dismissed.

I Think The Danger Right Now Is That Without Effective Inspections, Without Effective Monitoring, Iraq Can In A Very Short Period Of Time Measured In Months, Reconstitute Chemical And Biological Weapons, Long-range Ballistic Missiles To Deliver These Weapons, And Even Certain Aspects Of Their Nuclear Weaponization Program.
