I will say this on the matter of intelligence. I have an Uncle who is a retired Brigadier General from the Vietnam era. He told me point blank within the last few months that he never ever, not a single time while an armored cavalry battalion commander, received a single piece of intelligence that helped in an operation one iota. Instead of saying Bush lied or the Bush administration lied, a much more plausible argument is that the intelligence community and the data it gathers are pretty close to worthless. Those communities would love to sit back and take credit for the century's greatest achievements during world war ii, but quite frankly, what have you guys done for us lately, under any administration. In wwii of course the intelligence community in combination with our allies such as in Blechley park (i have an uncle since deceased who worked there and at NSA) cracked the Nazis Enegma machine both 6 and 8 rotor plus the Japanese diplomatic codes.
