Wil's Rant

They are calling it bad blood, that's an understatement. Bush wanted an assessment of the situation in Iraq. The CIA, being trained professional intelligence people, returned with reports which essentially agreed with the U.N.'s inspectors. That didn't agree with Bush's big plan for the region so he directed a new operation within the White House to generate the reports that he wanted to see. Suddenly, formerly discredited intel. from Iraqi expatriates, is given more weight than the CIA has counseled. The result is a mass exodus from the CIA and Bush using the faulty data as reason for waging a war. The American public bought the whole thing with rabid enthusiasm which brings us to today. Oops!
