How many Rs on this board cited the TMD as justifying the war?

The trailers were cited prewar as evidence of a WMD program- they were believed to be part of the WMD program and were offered as such. You now have a story saying "once we had possesion of the trailers it turns out they weren't."
Okay- but they did exist- they weren't imaginary. Our intelligence on their function was wrong.
As to bush mentioning them as proof 2 days after some report was written let me ask you, have you ever worked in government? do you have any idea was filing a report means in governement. what is the lag time between such a report and it being reviewed and funneled to the President?
When an associate does a memo for you, do you always review it that very day?
