Geeze! You learn something new every day here on the Mudcat. I had NO idea, Amos, that you and several dozen others had access to the sensitive data that would enable one to determine that the intelligence Bush was receiving was faulty!

Your sarcasm is even less functional than your ability to understand English or remember events.

Time after time in the ramp-up to the invasion of Iraq the argument was raised that the "go to war now!" rationale was based on false or omitted or distorted information. It had to be. In the real world, a place where perhaps your kind do not visit often, data hangs together in a way that is called making sense. When data does not make sense, the trick is to find out what has been left out, falsified, twisted, mis-evaluated, or whatever.

It takes a little experience and a good nose for bullshit to do this, granted, but the stink from Bush's barn is pretty fell and not hard to notice.
