Either she was incompetent or lied both about the warnings before 9-11 and the danger from Saddam Hussein. One or the other--either incompetence or prevarication. Logically, it cannot be any other way. Regarding 9-11, either she/they knew or they didn't know. If they knew, then they are lying and if they didn't know they are incompetent. Regarding the war, if she (they) had been competent they would have discovered the intelligence was bogus or if they knew the intelligence was hyped then she/they lied.
What burns me is that if the work of our intelligence services was so flawed regarding 9-11 why on earth would you trust it just 18 months later to go to war.
