This is the kind of reasoning that got us into Iraq in the first place, and we all know how that WMD hunt turned out.

I am not looking to 40 guys on the street. I am looking at what Israeli intelligence was telling us. I will give them more credence for on the ground intelligence in the ME than I give State (or Condi).
