The snippets of supporting intel I highlighted for you (and keep in mind there's much more) all go back no farther than 18 months.
during the inspections that began in late 2002.
I will take Dr. Kay's word over yours, no offense.
But let's use Kay's own words...
"In the course of doing that, I had innumerable analysts who came to me in apology that the world that we were finding was not the world that they had thought existed and that they had estimated. Reality on the ground differed in advance."
Let me begin by saying, we were almost all wrong, and I certainly include myself here.
Why is it so hard to understand that the pre-War intelligence specifically regarding stockpiles was wrong? Thus, in that instance, this was an Intelligence failure. Kay said that yesterday - in no uncertain terms!
In the recent months we have further examples of intelligence failures - the degree of Libya's Nuke program, the degree of Iran's nuke program - are two examples.
Then why dont you accept Kay when he says there probably are no WMD in Iraq now and that there probably were none there in recent years? Duh, you seem a little inconsistent to me?
