Well....where to start.....?

Unfortunately, the business of intel is far from precise....its a guessing game and there are almost always opposing opinions, indications, etc......the disability most detractors who claim Bush "lied" or "mislead" suffer from is that they do not understand the business of intel......and more importantly, they disregard the context within which the decisions were made.....quite simply, there is no way ANY President could have accepted the risk Saddam was believed to present in light of 9/11.....

Also, I see no credible indications of corruption, etc. within the Bush Administration....I see a lot of pinhead hyping of no-bid contracts and Cheney receiving his legally entitled deferred comp., etc......but no actual corruption.....

I see don't see "lying" either which is any more severe than the normal political puffing I have seen with every Presidential Administration I have a memory of going back to the JFK years.......
