"The war was based on two lies," he said through his voice synthesiser. Both the claims of weapons of mass destruction and linkage to September 11 had proved untrue. "It has been a tragedy for all the families. If that is not a war crime, what is?" He added: "I apologise for my pronunciation. My speech synthesiser was not designed for Iraqi names."

The US intelligence community harbored a strong faction that wanted to discredit the GOP POTUS Bush for partisan political reasons. As such, they duped Bush into believing that Saddam had WMDs by feeding Bush incorrect intell.

Bush, having an almost religiously zealous belief in the infallibility and patriotism of the US intelligence community, believed this faction's lies and proceeded to discredit himself by acting on the false intell.

For the International Left and Democrats: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.



Life Lesson: Better be careful about having trust and faith in the patriotism and infallibility of the "vaunted" US intelligence community. Clapper and Brennan aren't your average "saint".
