But it would seem to me that the Bush administration would have moved Heaven and Earth to give us 100%, irrefutable proof that those weapons existed. (Not just some guy told some other guy that he saw a weapons truck go into Syria.)

So the military intel was either incompetent, or they lied to us. No wonder nobody trusts government.

There is, I think, a third possibility. The intel folks could have correctly reported to Bush that there was a SMALL chance that Saddam still had active WMD. And that was enough for Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.

I suppose we’ll never know what really happened. But someone certainly has blood on their hands.
