Blame the CIA? Top 30 Bush - Iraq Lies Debunked BEFORE The Invasion: A Reference For Seekers of Truth

"The buck stops here!"
- Not George W. Bush


Since the release of a blistering report by a U.S. Senate committee blaming the CIA for miserable intelligence leading to our pre-emptive invasion of Iraq, the White House and its apologists have had a field day pointing their fingers anywhere and everywhere except where it most certainly belongs...at the White House.

After the incomprehensible incompetence and abhorrent, deceptive tactics used by both the Bush and Blair administrations, you would think that they would let sleeping dogs lie.

Well that has never been the case with these people and I don't think it ever will be.

Thus I think it appropriate to take a stroll down memory lane and see just how innocent this administration was of all the supposed CIA foul-ups.

Grab a coffee. This might take a while.

Best compendium of Bush lies yet!

Why is the media buying this The CIA Failed crap?

It looks to me like the CIA had it right all along and it was only at the very highest levels that the intelligence was distorted.
