orca. You had made this statement....."Bush fashioned intel to take the country to war. There is no bigger lie than going to war for your own agenda. Do you support his impeachment?"......

And I asked you this...."With that in mind can you provide a good link proving that President Bush "fashioned" And I assume you mean directed in some way the intelligence people in the USA as to what to say and what to report.".......

Secret British Memo Shows Bush Tampered with Iraq Intelligence

I did read through what you posted and nowhere is there any proof that Bush "fashioned Intelligence as you stated.

Here is the smoking gun:

"C [Dearlove] reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.

Orca. IMO this is not proof in any way that Bush did as you stated. Have a look at where this article comes from...the web site and the person who wrote this article... Juan Cole. Here is more from that same web site.

This does not appear to me to be a unbiased web site nor is the author.

It is very difficult to find accurate information on any media outlet and even more difficult to find authors who do not have some kind of agenda they are promoting.
