The missing WMDs? George and Dick knew better than the CIA and we went to war because they refused to listen and take seriously the CIA reports. Because of this we not only have not caught Osama but we've created more terrorists than we've stopped.
Now it looks like Dick and George already have their personal agenda for Iran mapped out and again will refuse to heed the advice of the CIA.

So why do Dick and George even pretend they listen to their intelligence advisors?

They are advisors he does not have to listen to them. Your Priest said do not have permarital sex
your doctor said not to do drugs
your girlfriend said stop
Do you always listen?
If you listen all the time to advisors you are an employee not a president.........................

Do a little research on your own. WMDs consist of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The raw materials for the centrifuges was there, they are used to make weapons grade plutonium. The biological and chemical weapons were there for the last 30 years, they used them to massacre Kurds and anyone who disagreed with Saddam...or never even opened their mouth. I guess if someone doesn't like you, they make something up about you and you disappear in the night to be buried alive in a mass grave with your whole family.
The CIA & the FBI were fighting amongst themselves and you really need to understand that "Humlint" is open to interpretation. Long before the high level administrators see the information, it has passed through the hands of several mid-level analysts. They look it over and decide if it is worthy of Presidential attention.

If I remember correctly, the CIA DID tell the current administration that there were WMDAs. So did other countries intelligence departments. Bush DID listen to the CIA.

The CIA said Saddam had WMD's. He sais it was a "slam dunk". Every other intel service in the world had reached the same conclusion.

The Democrats voted to take Saddam out.
That was before they all surrendered except Hillary & Lieberman.
Bush listened to all of Congress and the CIA.
He listened to all of our Intelligence Groups.

THIS president fails to listen to them. Past and hopefully future leaders of our nation will listen and act accordingly.

They don't care what you know or what you think as far as they're filling their pockets with petrodollars.
