The Globe and Mail: U.S. senators questioning war rationale'In his State of the Union address last year, U.S. President George W. Bush told the world that Mr. Hussein possessed 25,000 litres of anthrax -- "enough to kill several million people." The Iraqi dictator might also have 38,000 litres of botulinum toxin, Mr. Bush said, sufficient to wipe out several million more. Moreover, the President speculated, the regime might be concealing 500 tonnes of poison gas, together with "upwards of 30,000 munitions" capable of delivering it.
Yet despite a vigorous postwar hunt, no sign of the banned weapons has turned up, and senior Democratic senators took to the airwaves yesterday to suggest Mr. Bush's administration had either relied on flawed intelligence or deliberately misrepresented the Iraqi threat.' Bush out and out lied. He and his administration continue to do so. It's good to hear that finally someone is speaking out in the US government.
