Clinton CIA Hurt Search for Iraqi Weapons

Thanks to Bill Clinton's decimation of the CIA, a weakened network of spies in Iraq could provide the agency with no proof of chemical or biological weapons.
"Slightly more than a year before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the CIA launched a major effort to rebuild its network of Iraqi agents, which had been badly depleted by repeated purges, according to congressional and Bush administration officials with knowledge of the effort," USA Today reported today.

But the Bush administration's efforts to rebuild the agency could not overcome the damage in time.

But the Bush administration's efforts to rebuild the agency could not overcome the damage in time.

The CIA's false report to CiC Bush on Saddam being at some alleged bunker that got Bush to start the war ahead of schedule (no Saddam and no bunkereven) reminds me of the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Gossip has it that it was Plame's group that was responsible for the Belgrade misinformation. Could it have been Plame again that got the war off to an eaarly start?
