Let the backtracking begin!
"[I]t only takes a quick look back to find multiple examples of members of the Bush administration playing with intelligence data and pushing the intelligence community into drawing conclusions that the administration wanted to hear. Like when Condoleezza Rice ignored George Tenet's warning that the "uranium from Africa" claim was false, or when Dick Cheney made sure that the lie went into the State of the Union Address, not to mention all those times that Cheney visited the CIA and 'created an environment in which some analysts felt they were being pressured to make their assessments on Iraq fit with Bush Administration policy objectives.'
"Yup, if only the CIA hadn't fooled everyone with their phony intelligence, you can bet that Bush would have done everything in his power to ensure that we didn't rush to invade. But sadly, they were all completely hoodwinked. Of course the fact that Bush's cronies have been planning the invasion of Iraq since the end of the last Gulf War has nothing to do with it." - - from this week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots.
