Was that Intel legitimate?
How could all the western players get it wrong?
Takes no big conspiracy to get that done. Underlings who sense what their bosses want to hear, coupled with selective reading of reports at this or that cabinet meeting, followed by an important UN speech to convince some other nations.
Of course the intel wasn't legitimate. Joe Wilson made that plain in the Valerie Plame affair. If that wasn't enough, there was that whole we occupied the entire goddamned country and shit was not found thing.
They got it wrong because people tend to believe what they want to believe. And the Bush Administration wanted to believe Iraq had this shit because we'd recently got hit by the most devastating terrorist attack in history.
