If our intelligence in Iraq was wrong about WMDs, could it have been wrong about the precise locations of all those targets we all saw exploding on TV. We were so rushed to start the war that we didn’t have time to properly arm our soldiers, so couldn’t this info have been acquired in a hurry with hastily drawn conclusions about the locations. In other words, if the Bush Administration wasn’t any more concerned about preventable deaths and injuries among our own troops than to send them into battle without body armor, why would they worry about killing and maiming a few more innocent Iraqis.

Actually I believe the Shock and Awe was perfectly executed. We disabled one of the world's largest military forces in a few weeks. At that rate If we were bombing indscriminantly there wouldn't be enough sand to burry the bodies. Our Military did it's job perfectly. The lack of Intelligence was right at the top. Both the FBI and CIA have both publically stated that they submitted reports that contradicted there being WMDs in Iraq but Bush told America something different. He made the decision to attack Iraq with under-equipped troops. They weren't threatenning us, he had all the time in the world to go after them.

I believe the jurys still out on all the intel yet. Curiously we have forgotten about the satelite images of flatbed conveys heading for Syria, why isn't the UN inspecting there?

i got on google.earth, they have a satellite pic of my house. I could see the guys truck next door, for free. The military has much better, and the gps they use to guide the bombs is much more accurate than the civilian version. Its not our troops fault that sadaam puts his citizens in harms way by building weapons depots underneath hospitals and mosques.

Even Bush admitted that the intelligence was flawed.
Guess what!
He's still relying on the same sources.
