#3I will always remember him for bringing a vial of what he asserted to be Saddam’s chemical weapon to the UN Assembly.

This is very sad news. I personally disagreed with many of his actions, especially the Iraq/WMD story, but even so I had a lot of respect for him.

#5He should have resigned before the UN speech. I will never forgive him.
He knew it was all BS and I knew when I was watching him live.

A complete lie which he was fully aware of.
> At one point, he became so angry at the lack of adequate sourcing to intelligence claims that he declared: "I'm not reading this. This is bullshit," according to the magazine.

He did read it in full, of course. And he brought the fake vial of Iraqi anthrax to the presentation, too. A known unknown of known bullshit, I guess.
A lie that probably cost hundreds of thousands of lives (unless, as he also said, they already decided to go to war in which case, he also lied to the UN Security Council about their intent).
What a war criminal.

The worst war criminals probably loved their family, made great speeches and had interesting things to say. Always sad to see them go.
