"In hind sight," O'Really? "agreed that it turned out Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destructio
n." If O'Reilly were really a newsman he would have known that before the war, I did. I heard public statements by experts like Scott Ritter and Hans Blix. Ritter spent most of the 1990s searching for WMD and rockets. Blix’s inspection team performed 700 inspection
s. Both men refuted the claims that Iraq had WMD. Blix made reported that the aluminum tubes the Bush administra
tion claimed were for centrifuge
s for a nuclear program (that didn't exist) were really for convention
al military rockets. The Bush administra
tion lied this country into the war against Iraq. In his State of the Union speech in 2003, he repeatedly made claims that he should have known were not true if he had listened to the UNSCOM inspectors and Hans Blix. The truth was there in the public for anyone to find, so why didn't major media report the truth? I was blackballe

y war of choice that has led to hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded on both sides of that war. The publisher was a big Bush fan. My free, regular column was cancelled because I had written the truth.
