Kay Criticizes Bush, Blair on Iraq Intel Sun Jul 18, 3:28 PM ET By BETH GARDINER, Associated Press Writer LONDON - President Bush (news - web sites) and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) should have realized before going to war that intelligence on Iraqi weapons was weak and did not indicate Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) posed a danger to the West, America's former chief weapons inspector in Iraq (news - web sites) said Sunday. David Kay resigned from the CIA (news - web sites) in January and his conclusion then that Iraq did not have stockpiles of forbidden weapons caused serious problems for both Bush and Blair, undercutting their main justification for war. He told Britain's ITV network that Bush and Blair "should have been able to tell before the war that the evidence did not exist for drawing the conclusion that Iraq presented a clear, present and imminent threat on the basis of existing weapons of mass destruction." "That was not something that required a war," he said. He said the leaders may not have been sufficiently critical of intelligence on Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction. continued................... news.yahoo.com
