Everyone at the time was briefed with certainty by the IC that the Iraqi's had WMD's. Both R's and D's were on record as supporting with invading Iraq - including Sen. Clinton.
Years later, it is reflex for the liberals to blame W, but of course that is far too simplistic.
Since then, we have learned about the corruption and rogue nature of the IC who has engaged in efforts to spy on a candidate that they didn't want as well as to even continue brazen efforts to remove a sitting and duly elected president from office. They even manufactured false evidence to obtain warrants.
The facile and coordinated nature of their efforts between agencies would suggest that this is not the first time that they have exercised such "independence".
How could an intelligence agency get something so massively wrong as saying the Iraq had WMD's, and then also tell the POTUS that they were certain? if we had any reporters in the MSM worth anything, they would be at least investigating this question.
(As a pre warning to liberals who wish to continue in their bubble, a response such as "what would the IC have to gain? is not a logical rebuttal, it is another question - and it has potential answers as well).
I haven't made up my mind on any of this btw, but I would like to have this question addresed.....such is the result of the revelation that there is a "5th Estate" in Washington, D.C.
