<<...Which raises the real crux of the slanted-intelligence debate: the timing of the war. Why was it necessary to put aside all of our other foreign policy priorities to go to war with Iraq in the spring of 2003? It was always the hardest part of the Bush administration's argument to square with the evidence. And, distressingly, there seems to be more than a little truth to claims that some members of the administration skewed, exaggerated and even distorted raw intelligence to coax the American people and reluctant allies into going to war against Iraq this year...>> brook.edu IMHO, Ken Pollack is right on target here...Why did we rush into Iraq WITHOUT broad support...?? Was it really necessary...?? Did the Administration distort AND exagerate intelligence to pursue its agenda...??
