WASHINGTON - The multibillion-dollar U.S. intelligence community was "dead wrong" in its prewar assessment of Iraq's weapons programs and can't accurately gauge the future threat from countries such as Iran and North Korea, a presidential commission concluded in a caustic account Thursday.

The commission called the exaggerated estimates of Iraq's nuclear-, chemical- and biological-weapons programs "one of the most public — and most damaging — intelligence failures in recent American history."

Not according to the Robb-Silberman report.

Saddam was not a "horrible" threat to us, he was a potential threat. But so long as could make sure he was disarmed and kept in a box, as Cheney himself said in 2002, he was not a pressing matter. Cheney actually said that on TV before they decided to invade. See how dishonest the Bushies are?
