[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah sure, like they had the information on Saddams WMDs! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* Yeah, or about Russia invading Ukraine! Wait. If you look at documents at the time, intelligence agencies said there was a possibility he had WMDs, but there was no conclusive evidence nor assurances. The Bush Administration lied to Congress and said we knew for sure they had them. Edit: It's good to have healthy skepticism -- it hasn't escaped my notice that the majority of evidence behind this claim is coming from Israel. I don't think it's wise to deem it automatically false however, and pulling funding is premature. There should however be a serious internal investigation. And if they already have smoking guns, the UN should release them in the interest of transparency. Apologies for starting out my comment as a bit of a jackass. permalink fedilink source parent
