Noel: So one could argue that poor US/western intelligence had some of the blame for these deaths.

Yes, one could argue that. Do you remember the CIA budget cuts of the Clinton years? Here's a well documented article...

1996 CIA Budget Update.............Note the cuts, and the footnotes...

My problem is that the 1 million Iraqis(560,000 children) died because of a boycott that was maintained even though(in hind sight) the WMDs were gone. So one could argue that poor US/western intelligence had some of the blame for these deaths.
