LOL - Iraq DID have WMDs and many reports point to many of those WMDs being moved to Syria just before we invaded (other caches were buried IN Iraq itself). After 14 years and the dumped Iraqi documents published here on FR back in the day this should be common knowledge. Heck, even the Obama admin admitted that Syria had in their possession some of those same WMDs a couple (few) years ago.
The Benghazi video story wasn’t promoted or even spoken of to anyone from US intel agencies, it was a BS cover story completely invented by Obama and company...
Just saying... those two specific situations don’t really prove the point you are trying to make right now.
Neither do you with your tired old "Iraq did have WMDs you guys!" crapola that even most Iraq War boosters gave up pushing in 2009.
There are tons of examples of US intel being completely wrong and/or incompetent. If you’re going to protest that point you’re in denial.
Moreover, we have direct and very recent evidence that the intel agencies will also make things up out of thin air as it suits their purposes.
So the question of whether our own intel agencies are telling the truth is really something that needs to be front and center in the consideration of the reported intel.
