Seriously, if the guy in charge of my intelligence comes up to me and says with 100% certainty that the intelligence they have gathered is correct....I'd go to war too. Unless of course you believe Tenet was in on the whole deal to cook the evidence. They must have not paid him enough though....as he left the CIA and wrote a book blaming Bush about everything.

It was not true. None of it. Do you think they believed with actual certainty that there were rolling weapons factories and giant underground warehouses chock-full of all sorts of nasty stuff? Do you really think they are that incompetent? Really?
