Club, the first part of your first sentence is true. As to the second part of the sentence, there has been substantial reporting in the past couple months that one of the principal Iraq-WMD sources for all of the "Western" (European, NA, etc.) intelligence agencies was likely the same "defector"put forward by the INC. This guy was busy making the rounds.
As to the last two sentences . . well, who was it who said that the simplest answer is usually the correct answer? Here, the simplest answer would be that, as Zinni and others predicted pre-War, the "intelligence" was mostly wrong, and there were no WMDs in Iraq that posed any kind of strategic threat to the U.S.
I don't see why you insist on another four years, seems kind of arbitrary. Ty -- better remember to ask Club again if Kerry's teams still haven't found any by next June.
