Report: Iraq intelligence 'dead wrong'

The U.S. intelligence community was "simply wrong" in its assessments of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities before the U.S. invasion, a presidential commission said Thursday.

"We conclude that the intelligence community was dead wrong in almost all of its prewar judgments about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," said a letter
from the commission to President Bush. "This was a major intelligence failure."

A Major Intelligence Failure that cost the lives of over 1,000 people.

Good going, President Shrub. You punk'd America. And killed a bunch of them, too. We have such a moron for a president. No other president, Democrat OR Republican, was ever as dumb as the one who "misunderestimated" the threat of Iraq. *head desk*

I think he should have a press conference tomorrow and say "There aren't any weapons of mass destruction! April Fool's!!111! ha ha!"

"This was a major intelligence failure."

Oh yea, I forgot!

Bush can't be totally to blame. He only acted on the information that was given to him. When pretty much all major intelligence networks within and without your country are telling you something, it's kinda hard *not* to believe that what they're telling you is accurate. If it was revealed that we had evidence regarding WMD in Iraq that Bush never acted on, every single Democrat in this country would be all over him for it. This has actually already happened...same situation, different countries--Iran and North Korea. We haven't acted on intelligence regarded those countries and Democrats (and some Republicans) have attacked Bush b/c of that.

That said, the way the war has been fought might be more of a reason to attack the president. I think I kinda agree with Kerry's position more when he said he'd send in more troops to finish the job quicker rather than draw it out for years to come.

I don't blame Bush for going to war. I blame him for the way it's been conducted up to this point.

Oh my! It's 4:00 am.
