Was the failed rescue attempt of Foley due to faulty intelligence?

According to Oduma's spokesperson it wasn't. ISIS just moved Foley and the other captives shortly before the rescue attempt began.
Yet the Left still claims the invasion of Iraq was based on faulty intelligence that Saddam had WMDs. The Left claims the fact that no WMDs were found in Iraq is because there never were any WMDs in Iraq.
Similar to the case of the failed rescue attempt, couldn't it be that the failure to find WMDs in Iraq wasn't due to faulty intelligence but that it was because the WMDs were moved to Syria shortly before the invasion began?

There was a failed rescue? I missed this.

They missed him by a day or two. Most rescue attempts fail. They're high risk operations.

Don't you know that every American death is the result of a failure of intelligence coupled with incompetence topped with corruption?

Stop being Dick Cheney.
We went to war in Iraq because the executive branch wanted to go to war in Iraq.

There were WMD in Iraq, tons and tons, there was just an article a week ago saying the Obama was afraid ISIS could capture them. Why do people KEEP saying there were no WMD in Iraq??????

Adequate intelligence in this situation means you have an eye witness that can confirm the location of the target at the time of the rescue attempt so yes, it was failed intelligence.
The case for WMD's in Iraq was also failed intelligence but in that situation there was proof that Saddam had used WMD's both against Iran and against his own people. Couple that with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the burning of oil fields and the violation of numerous U.N. resolutions and there was more than ample justification for invading Iraq and ousting Saddam. How quickly we forget the inconvenient truth and oh yea, hiney sight is always 20/20.

I used to be in that business. When there's a failure they ALWAYS blame it on us. When it's a success, the operators all pat themselves on the back about how awesome they are.
