Panel: Agencies 'Dead Wrong' on Iraq WMDs


Can we put away the "Bush lied!" meme now?

It should also be noted that in every case except Iraq where the intel agencies had it wrong on nuclear weapons, the country had much more than the intel agency knew: Libay, Pakistan, North Korea.

Even for Iraq, the book won't be closed until we know what was shipped into Syria. Saddam had a history of hiding stuff - before the first Gulf War, he buried MIGs and sent part of his air force into Iran. For him not to have tried to hide the best stuff would have been out of character. We know that a bunch of his top men went into Syria, along with convoys of trucks. That's been established. We know the insurgency was planned and based in Syria. So what weapons went into Syria, and where did they go?
