I agree that the truth is somewhere in the middle, but it seemed to me that you were refuting Dragonlich when he made that same argument.
And something else that occured to me, it is exceedingly unlikely that they were knowingly lying for one simple reason: if they were lying and knew Saddam didn't have WMD's, once we were in Iraq it would become apparent that they were lying. Hence, I feel very safe in saying that Bush and Blair fully expected to find WMD's because otherwise the political fallout would be overwhelming, as we've seen.
