Oh, and since you win the hunch match, I owe you yet another Guinness.  Maybe I ought to take out a loan.  :whistling:

The question is not about who was right or wrong then. Even when Jester (and me) did not have clear evidence (before the war) that Iraq did not have anything to do with WMDs, Al Qaeda etc., there for sure was no clear evidence that Iraq had anything to do with that.

So if you want, we here at the lounge gambled and we won and you lost.

But the people in charge, they knew exactly what was going on. They did not have to base their opinion on biased media reports, they had real intelligence. In other words unlike you, they were sure there was no evidence for WMDs. So that means they took a gamble to go to war. The main question is now, why did they do that, what was their goal.

So maybe that is a nice starting point for a discussion now. Which is extra interesting because we know we cannot believe any media source. This is gonnan be great. Let's see how pays the beers in the 2009 Lurkerlounge reunion party. :D
