So, there was basically one source for global info on the iraqi wmd threat...Chalabi.
Bush & Co. removed anyone who disagreed with the intel they received from INC/Chalabi sources.
WMD was chosen to "sell" the war, even though there were other valid reasons...but now we basically see we had one intell source that was manufacturing evidence and feeding it to everybody....
The CIA strongly disagreed with the validity of the sources, but shit rolls down hill.

very well put. The damage has already been done, and I personally believe Bush would have done it no matter what. People were still very bitter over 9/11 and he knew he could get away with it at the time.
Hopefully since this new intelligence is emerging knowing what we know now, maybe just maybe he will not be around for another 4 years.
