LOL, I guess you don't know much about the missing EWMD-thing. There was ONE source, and the reliability of that source was already doubted internally in secret services. Even with public information at the time it was pretty unlikely the Iraq had WMDs. Most sane people were pointing to the missing proofs and even indications towards this theory. At the time was an official UN-inspection already running - instead of waiting for a result the war was started. The Bush-administration was all aware of it, but ignored it to have a pretty thin reason to go to war. But the claim the Iraq had WMDs was as believable as now Putins claim the unmarked soldiers in crimea are not russian. In europe (except UK) the war against iraq wasn't justified with WMDs, as even our leaders didn't thought that anyone would buy that here. |
There was more then one source. Curveball was just the main one. Though they were all considered somewhat unreliable though not totally so. Additionally he did mention things that were later verfied via photos. Just those things weren't what he said they were.
That said, that's a lot more belieable then the whole 0 sources that Snipers came out of the US embassy with american sniper rifles and bullets.
