I am sure the usual morons will be screaming anti-semitism about this report.

However the person voicing the charges in the article is Brig. Gen. Shlomo Brom, former deputy commander of the Israeli military's planning division. Sounds like a retired high ranking IDF officer who is probably Jewish to me, he might be anti semetic I guess but I'll let the \"experts\" determine that.

So it appears from the mentioned report that the war was fought in large part for the benefit of Isreal and the threat Hussien posed to the US was pretty much bs. So how does it feel to be used and lied to folks?

\"...Israeli intelligence services and political leaders

provided \"an exaggerated assessment of Iraqi

capabilities,\" raising \"the possibility that the

intelligence picture was manipulated,\" wrote Brom,

former deputy commander of the Israeli military's

planning division.

\"...The report added, \"A critical question to be answered

is whether governmental bodies falsely manipulated

the intelligence information in order to gain support

for their decision to go to war in Iraq, while the

real reasons for this decision were obfuscated or

concealed.\" \" <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"JERUSALEM, Dec. 4 -- Israel was a "full partner" in U.S. and British intelligence failures that exaggerated former president Saddam Hussein's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, a report by an Israeli military research center has charged.
