Like "BOR" said, did Bush also goto Putin and tell him he only wants to hear bad information after the fact? British Intelligence as well? "BOR Didn't give his kid up to go fight, that was a victory!"
BOR: All of the intelligence agencies were reporting to him there were WMD. Tenet looked Bush in the eye and said "WMD is a slum dunk." This was the information Bush was given, and you are calling what he did lying?

oh we're taking the lead of Putin now? The journalist murdering Putin? MI6 gets their intelligence from us. We knew AT THE TIME that it was bad intelligence, I don't know how all you conservatives seem to have forgotten this. We KNEW that Bush was hunting for only ONE storyline in anything he was given, and we objected to it at the time as well as after the action.
Bottom line: Bush knew what he wanted to hear, he let everybody else know, and he wasn't listening to anything else that didn't support what he already knew he was going to do. Tenet had to say it was a slam dunk because Bush had just asked him if he now had justification to go after Iraq. Tenet knew what the boss wanted and tried to give it to him, like any good employee.
