Pre-war, intelligence sources showed no cause to start a war, Bush - and especially Cheney went ahead with it using forged documents and lies to promote the war. David Kay confirmed no wmds. The Bush investigation of his reasons behind this illegal, immoral war will be as much of a sham as his reasons for invading Iraq: Democrats Challenge Bush's War Probe Panel

President George Bush announced he would form an independent panel to help uncover “all the facts” about US intelligence on Iraqi weapons, but Democratic critics questioned whether the panel would be impartial and complained its findings would not be out until after the presidential election.

Bush also met privately with former chief US weapons inspector David Kay yesterday for the first time since Kay urged creation of such a commission and said he did not believe Iraq had the illegal weapons Bush claimed.

Bush continued to defend his decision to invade Iraq.

“We do know that Saddam Hussein had the intent and the capabilities to cause great harm, we know he was a danger,” Bush said.

However, he added that the administration wanted to compare pre-war intelligence with findings by Kay and his inspectors – and see how the intelligence system might be improved for the future.
