If we can't trust the intelligence that comes from the CIA then we need to get rid of every CIA officer and start out fresh...

I believe we can trust the intel. The problem is that our intelligence efforts were thrown back by a decade due to the Cinton doctrine (no 'bad actors' on the payroll). Also, note that the embedded reporters were sent home. We are no longer getting daily real time updates as to what units are doing what. There is a LOT of work going on every day. The first task appears to be securing the peace and stabilizing the region. The search is task #2. A few thousand inspectors JUST NOW arrived because the area had be safe enough to allow the inspectors freedom of movement. Remember, lack of freedom of movement was one of the key reasons the UNSCOM team failed so miserably.
