The guy that fed Bush the bad info was Douglas Feith, in the Office of Special Plans that Rumsfeld and Cheney set up. Feith's job was to sift through ALL the intel on Iraq and extract the best for making the case for going to war, ignoring contrary evidence and caveats. Dick Cheney made nine trips to the CIA to pull this out of them and feed it to the OSP. This is what was presented to Kerry and the rest of the Senate and House. This is the second half of the 9/11 Report that was put off until AFTER the election.
Bush wanted to invade Iraq, ginned up a case, played cheerleader and warmonger, called all naysayers traitors and browbeat the country into war, cleverly mingling 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. When Kerry is elected, it will all be revealed. This is why Bush is in such a panic. It's also why Bush is a worthless punk.

The CIA did not give Bush bad info. He used it badly. The CIA, just that little piece that has been declassified (Dems are trying to get more), is full of ifs ands or buts and tons of caveats.

None of it matters because the plan to topple Saddam had been in the works for a decade. O'Neill said that it was already a big issue prior to 911.

None of this has been disputed by Bush.
