"faulty intelligence" is and always has been a smoke screen....

Don't forget, Scott Ritter has said that UNSCOM knew by the early 1990's, and certainly by 1995, that Iraq was "fundamentally disarmed" and he has said repeatedly that U.S. intelligence agencies knew it. The Iraqi's said over and over that they were disarmed, and there is now no doubt that by at least 1992 they were telling the truth. The "prove a negative" disarmament standard enforced by three U.S. administrations was understood to be a political manuever to prevent U.N. certification of Iraqi compliance, and prevent any possibility of Saddam Hussein achieving international rehabilitation-- if anyone was really fooled into thinking that Iraq's inability to meet that standard meant that they really were a WMD threat, it was only because they'd drunk the Kool-Aid for so long they came to believe their own lies. Most importantly, however, Bush's current attempt to "take responsibility for faulty intelligence" is just the same old smoke screen-- it perpetuates the lie of "faulty intelligence" being responsible for the invasion of Iraq, and it makes him "responsible" for little more than making an honest mistake.

Don't be fooled. Bush is not responsible for "faulty intelligence." He shares responsibility for a propaganda campaign that led the U.S. to war under false pretenses. He is responsible for a pack of cynical, bald-faced lies. Faulty intel, my buttocks.

they would listen to the the other guy.

Hey, it's "intelligence"!

which he forced upon the CIA via his Office Of Special Plans, because he knew that the truth would not set Iraq's oil free.
