But, I do not believe that Powell purposely lied to us regarding their being WMDs in Iraq. If he received faulty intelligence (IF) then he did not lie. A lie requires the element of an intent to deceive.

The operative words are "did not find". what we will never know is if they were there, did Saddam move them across the border to Syria?

Two WSJ articles over the years report that that is what some believe and point to events that would validate such an event.

The saddest thing about the "WMD"issue is it has become totally political and hence creates more mistrust and less a motivation to determine the how and the why, and consequences that an active military engagement can least afford
