Well, for me, enough proof is there to call it a lie. It appears from what I have gathered so far is that the Bush Administration allowed itself to be misled by a single set of misinformation created by Iraqi expats who had a vested interest in the USA invading Iraq.

You could be right. No doubt about it.
Lie and all.
Even still, it has been years of iraqi ex-pats. I wonder who was the director of the cia when Rumsfeld shook Saddam's hand? GHWB? Not sure on that actually. Worth investigating.
What other intelligence gathering technique would have yielded different results? More reliable ones?
You know though, right after GHWB (his general actually, stormin norman, under Powell's (JCS) command) took a piss in the south of Iraq then packed up his toys and went home. He had them then, and used them. All the while always kicking himself that he couldn't get nuclear on anyone's ass. Who knows what mumbo jumbo, russian and french complicite, UN blind-eyed nonsense happened between then and just before the US took that fucker out. That piece of shit had been so lazy, he only put the word out that he had WMD, and built palaces. Or did he?
I've read that only the Russians have ever publically acknowledge a possibility that Iraq was not WMD capable.
I'm certain Bush II didn't need much provocation into heading to Iraq during his presidency. I'll bet he had a pretty good idea how he would do it too....long before 9-11. Hell, even I did.
Whatcha gonna do?
