won't go as far as some here, but I definitely get the feeling that something is rotten

I basically agree with Mark Steyn's argument, the idea that Bush and Blair made up weapons they knew weren't there so they could fight a war that would expose them as liars is a fairly absurd idea. There were plenty of other arguments, even to go to the UN with; they could have focused on the failure of containment and Saddam's public and private support of terrorism.

So if they're something rotten here, I think it's the quality of our intelligence, and that is worrisome. Of course, Saddam had that fourteen-month "rush to war" to make his preparations in, and a Stalinist country is hard to penetrate.
