And attacking Iraq was justified for the intellegance given.
No. There was never any intelligence stating for sure that Saddam had WMD. Rumsfeld's pre-invasion comments to the contrary, the administration never had incontrovertible proof of the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Why? There never were any WMD. We should have been POSITIVE of that fact before using it as justification for invasion. "There are probably WMD over there somewhere" is not enough. And why does what Saddam thought matter? It's not the intelligence community's job to know what Saddam thinks; their job is to know what's *actually there.* There are no WMDs in Iraq. So why are we there?
