Hindsight Being 20/20…
I'm guessing it might have been nice for Congress and the public to know about this bit of intelligence before, like, going to war and stuff.
During the weeks last fall before critical votes in Congress and the United Nations on going to war in Iraq, senior administration officials, including President Bush, expressed certainty in public that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons, even though U.S. intelligence agencies were reporting they had no direct evidence that such weapons existed.
The facts on the ground in Iraq have proven the analysts were right in this case.
