This sounds like a question I might ask of a member of the Bush Administration, especially the president.
How about we look at what's verifiable:
- A complete record of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell building up the case for war in the media.
- After the invasion, no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction was found.
- Before the invasion, it was verified that Saddam Hussein had no links to the 9/11 attacks.
These three things alone paint a magnificently simple picture. Either all the intel they were getting was incorrect, some of the intel was incorrect, or none of the intel was incorrect. If all of the intel was incorrect, we should close the FBI, CIA, NSA, and all other intelligence services, starting from scratch. If some of the intel was wrong, then the intel that supported the war was clearly cherry-picked by those mentioned above. If all of the intel was correct, then those above lied.
I'm not trying to present a false choice, so please let me know if I've missed something.
