This Senate report is being released today.
So, we ask ourselves, why did Bush push for the invasion knowing the CIA and the National Intelligence Counsel were completely against it?
>"The 40-page Senate report reveals that two intelligence assessments accurately predicted that toppling Saddam could lead to a dangerous period of internal violence and provide a boost to terrorists.
Two months before the invasion, the intelligence community's think tank issued an assessment warning that after Saddam was toppled, there was “a significant chance that domestic groups would engage in violent conflict with each other and that rogue Saddam loyalists would wage guerilla warfare either by themselves or in alliance with terrorists.â€
Well, duh. Double duh.
Why do we have the CIA and national intelligence think tanks when a "decider" can ignore INTELLIGENCE and push through his own agenda? I think people like Tom and SDAI are a bit sadistic in their support of GWB, because they ignore the obvious. It has racheted up the conflict in the Middle East. Put us and our country in a tricky situation.
