FatBoy quote:" Well I do not believe it was faulty intelligence. I think the intelligence was molded to what Bush and company wanted it be."
i disagree with you on this. i think the blame for this war lies primarily at the feet of saddam & the intelligence agencies of the u.s., britain & other countries that believed saddam had wmd's based on their respective intelligence agencies.
in bob woodward's book about this issue, woodward was present when bush met with tenant about the wmds.woodward quotes bush with asking tenant something like,"is this all you ha
ve". meaning the evidence wasn't enough to go to war.and woodward goes on to quote tenant saying something to like not to worry it's a slam dunk
along with the above info that bush was given he was told twice by putin that his intelligence agency had info that saddam was going to attack the u.s. some way or another.
i think given all of the info that was given to bush he did the right thing.
btw,i still think that saddam had wmd's.i can't beliv
e somebody with his personality wouldn't have had any wmd's.and according to israeli intelligence, the wmd's were shipped to syria right before the war.
