>>>I missed the first part, but the second seemed to rehash some previous Frontline documentaries. Overall, I think they're excellent, but I'm not sure how balanced they are. Did they show anything about most countries believing Saddam had WMDs?

>>Many countries, prominently including Germany and France, wanted to let the UN task force find WMDs before assuming they were there. We were the ones who blew off the UN after a while and insisted on invading even in the absence of evidence. Lots of Americans were angry at our long time European allies at the time. In retrospect, we would have been wise to heed their prudence. It doesn't take that much longer to do it right.

>You mean the UN task force that was currently kicked out of Iraq (and had been more than once previously)? That was working well.

I mean the UN task force that was in Iraq for weeks or months looking for WMDs. Do you mean it wasn't working well because they didn't find any?

Five years may seem like a long time but it's way too soon to try to revise the basic facts.
