Read what you just wrote Ma Dalton. And stop trying to think that you or I REALLY know what happened...just stick to the facts.
Someone "doubted" the intel in 2002? I'd bet that people "doubted" it from the 1990's. But most people did not doubt it and moved forward.
It wasn't until 2004 (as you just wrote) that they determined it was bullshit. (and the way they "determined" that was...we had already invaded and never found anything lol)
You can't have it both ways.
From the 1990's up until 2004 the working intelligence being shared amongst country's was that Hussein had or was about to have nukes.
Now did Bush WANT to believe it more than disbelieve it? I think so. And of course the military itself ALWAYS wants to believe that kind of thing. It keeps their budget alive and well. So you know the Pentagon was "advising" Bush to invade.
But again...there are NO facts saying that Pres. Clinton, Madeline Albright, Hillary Clinton, or George Bush had anything but a belief that it was good intel.
What they may or may not have felt in their hearts is something that you and I can only speculate on.
But you are trying to claim it's some kind of "fact". It is not. It is your opinion.
