They probably didn't expect much of the intel they where provided with to be fake in the first place. Cheney was the guy in charge of analysing raw CIA reports. What's for sure is that this administration is lying.

In the intel agencies there are collecters of intel...human and technical...then there are those that analyze the intel that has been collected. Analyzing intel is not easy...and the Vice President has neither the expertise...the equpment nor the time to analyze us intel let alone the intel of the Israelis...British...German and French who all concurred with US intel. Analylists within the intel agencies analyze intel...provide that info to the heads of the agencies and the heads of the agencies report the info provided to them by the analysts to the Administration...and those sitting on the House and Senate intel committees.
You choose to ignore that the Administration is not stupid enough to lie about something that they knew with certainty would be exposed as a lie in a short period of time.

So just how exactly was Saddam an imminent threat to the US then?

He wasn't and the President never said he was. To paraphrase the President...he said that you cannot allow a country to become an imminent threat.

But civilians aren't well equipped. Kuwaitis, Israelis, Iraqis and Iranians could've suffered high casualties.

Civilians often suffer higher casualties in war than the militaries involved.
