Once again, the current White House Administration representatives have proven that they will go to any lengths to pursue their own political interests. In this case, Vice President Dick Cheney has been linked to making false claims that Saddam Hussein had been attempting to obtain Uranium from Niger while we (The United States) went on a hunt for weapons of mass destruction, which, if you remember was our reasoning for going to war with Iraq.
Now, i don't doubt that Saddam Hussein either himself, or through ties with other terrorists groups, etc had possession of WMD, but it definitely doesn't strike a good chord to hear that lots of the evidence leading to the actual assault on Iraq is being proven to be false, or now, evidence that really draws no absolute conclusions.
I'm glad that Hussein is no longer in power. I'm glad that Iraqi's now have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves (even if they don't take advantage of it). I'm glad that there's one less known terrorist out there in the world. I'm not glad however, that our own elected government officials feel the need to take advantage of the people's trust in order to carry on with their own political agenda.
