'but the US/UK had so-called dire intel that Iraq was up to its neck in WMD's, and ready to launch a large scale and immediate invasion in the Middle East, or attack on the US.'

Nobody in the alliance ever said that.

And be honest about the French position, it was to delay, obfuscate, and deny for their friends in Baghdad.

Shouldn't you be ducking from the black helicopters hovering over your house?
