I want to know why your boy George hasn't expressed any ire over the fact that he was mislead by the CIA.

One obvious possibility is that "WMD" was mainly a pretext, and the White House and Pentagon never cared very much about the truth of the matter.

Or as the CIA boss put it: "Let's keep in mind the fact that this war's going to happen regardless of what Curve Ball said or didn't say. The Powers That Be probably aren't terribly interested in whether Curve Ball knows what he's talking about."

Probably because given the results of the report by the Iraq Survey Group, (Kay) while there have been no stockpiles of WMD discovered, illicit materiel and activity was discovered on a wide scale.....so the immediacy of the threat may have been overstated but the threat itself did in fact exist.....and is now no longer existing.....
