It was not faulty intel. As has been extensively discussed, here and elsewhere, any high school physics student could understand the analysis put forth by the United States' own "A-Team" of nuclear proliferation intelligence experts -- and this intelligence completely disputed the core argument that Bush used to go for war. You may continue to believe that the US intelligence service, completely refocussed after 9/11 to ensure they made no _more_ errors, could make a gaffe so big as to allow a President to go to war for the wrong reasons... go ahead, millions of others won't believe that. Occam's Razor is a principle which applies here. Basically William of Occam says that the simplest explanation is most often the most accurate. The simple explanation, the obvious one to anyone with an open mind, is that Bush and his inner circle twisted the available facts to purposely justify an unjustifyable war.
