We were operating with intelligence that may have been 100% wrong.

Not true. We had clear proof that Saddam had used WMD against both the Kurds and the Iranians.

So, we knew beyond any doubt that
a) within the past decade he had had WMD, and
b) within the past decade he had unleashed his WMD on civillian populations.

That same intelligence was generally accepted around the world, even by countries who did not support our actions. It was also supported by Hans Blix who stated that he believed Iraq had them as well.

So did former President Clinton, under whose aministration most of the intelligence relied on by Bush was developed. Was it irresponsible for Bush to depend on intelligence developed under the Clinton administration?
