Your are wrong...French intel concurred with US intel...they simply took the position that it should be up to UN inspectors to ferret out the WMD's/WMD materials. As for your last statement...it was the President that questioned the intel provided to him and felt that it was somewhat weak...but apparently George Tenate told him not to worry..."It is a slam dunk". Every member of the House Intel Committee and Senate Intel Committee was provided with the same intel that the President was provided and every single member of both Committees believed the intel that was provided to them...so your statement "what Bush wanted to hear" is not correct either.
No it didn't. I watched a documentary long ago that said just that. Maybe previous French intel taken years ago concurred with the US one but certainly not the recent one.

It was the president who wanted to invade Iraq from the get go. They wanted what they wanted and the CIA provided them with the intel to help them invade Iraq even though the CIA already knew the truth.
