http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../iraq_usa_dc_1 Bush Seeks to Deflect Calls for New Iraq Inquiry Thu Jan 29, 9:52 AM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo! WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's national security advisor tried on Thursday to head off calls for an independent investigation into flawed intelligence about Iraq (news - web sites)'s weapons programs and said the United States may never learn the truth because of post-war looting. The administration sought to put the blame for any intelligence gaps on looters and former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), whom National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) said was so secretive that "he allowed the world to continue to wonder" what weapons he still had. Critics say the administration did little to secure sensitive sites after the invasion, undercutting efforts to find the alleged weapons at the center of Bush's case for going to war. David Kay, who had led the U.S. team hunting for Iraq's weapons, told Congress on Wednesday he would support an independent investigation into the intelligence used by the White House to justify going to war. He said it was highly unlikely Iraq had large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, as stated repeatedly by Bush and his top aides in advance of the war. The White House brushed aside calls for an independent investigation. Rice told NBC that the intelligence community had already launched its own investigation -- "a kind of audit of what was known going in and what was found when they got there." A CIA (news - web sites) official said that investigation, headed by Richard Kerr, a former CIA deputy director, was under way. Rice said Kay had raised "some questions that we will want to answer." But the world "will never know fully" the extent of Iraq's weapons programs because documents and evidence were lost during the looting that took place when Saddam's regime collapsed, she said in an interview on ABC's morning news program. Rice said the administration wants to get all the facts to compare what the White House thought would be found in Iraq and what was actually found. "Nobody will want to know better and more about what we found when we got to Iraq than this president and the administration," she said. Whatever the outcome, Rice said the administration would not change its position that Saddam had to go. "The judgment is going to be the same: This is a dangerous man in a dangerous part of the world and it was time to do something about this threat," she said. |

We assume he was in the Tora Bora caves. No one can actually prove that. And, OBL's family has had nothing to do with him for years and vice versa. Last edited by strandinthewind; 01-29-2004 at 09:14 PM.. |
