They looked at the same intelligence. Said intelligence went through committee's, intelligence committee's are usually chaired by the higher ranking party officials.

I'm sorry but if a CEO of a company pitches and idea and says here is what we are going to do and he convinces the board to go along with it. Then the idea fails miserably and costs the company a tun of money and it's reputation who do you think takes the blame for it? The CEO or the Board? I'm betting the stockholders hold the CEO's feet to the flame long before they do the bored.
The fact is Bush is the person in charge, he made the case to go to war based on many claims, all of these claimes turned out wrong, he is the one to blame. You can't avoid the fact that he was the one person who had the power to push this or stop this and he chose to spear head it himself. He put his credibilty on the line and now he has to answer for that.

Being the President he is in charge of the military, if the intelligence said something it's his duty to act.
