If everybody knew that, why did EVERYBODY vote to go into Iraq ?? somehow, people believed the CIA had superior intelligence back in the day... when the CIA didn't even know how to google "Scott Ritter" or ask yahoo, "Does Iraq have WMDs?" EVERYBODY had better intelligence than the oval office and the CIA at that time. almost EVERYBODY did not trust their own knowledge - it was the beginning of the information age - who knew that EVERYBODY had access to much, much, much more information than government intelligence? answer: some of us

......the intelligence from ours.. Whose intelligence are you talking about...Cheney's? You think these CIA folks had any chance in the face of Cheny's threat to out them and endanger their and their family's lives? .......we have since found large stashes of WMDs... Where have we found large stashes. Are you contradicting yourself here. My question is who had them, Sadam or neighboring countries.? Are you now saying that the CIA knew they were in neighboring countries but went and told the President they were in Sadam's hands? Did a puny like Sadam outsmart our CIA? Really? I thought that only Osama could outsmart our CIA when he fled by handing over his cell phone to his body. How is it that same Osama could not outsmart the CIA under Obama's Administration. Maybe the CIA under Bush was inept like like Bush was.
