Pre-war CIA report questioned al Qaeda-Iraq ties (Dems + CIA Conspiring and Colluding)

This is yet another attempt to conjure up a scandal against Bush. As with the other attempts, it will ignore the facts and attempt to (neurolinguistically ) program the public by repeating the charges over and over until the masses think it is factual. This is how they planned to fight the Republicans. It was what they stated they were going to do in the memo that the Republican staffers were fired for copying off a non-secure portion of the Senate servers and leaking to the press, where it died when the MSM made a bigger deal of the taking action (leaking) than they did of the conspiracy that it detailed.

The fact about these intelligence reports that will be leaked selectively by the Democrats and their moles in the CIA is that the President never gets reports at that level. He does not have the time. He gets intelligence estimates from the Director of the CIA and bases his decisions on those summations. George Tenent is on record regarding intelligence about the situation in Iraq. Leaking in-house non-supporting reports and saying that a mistake was made is a form of Monday-morning quarterbacking in the third quarter.

What do they mean faulty intel on WMD's and Iraqi ties? I think the case was proven on what was found post war... The dummies try to re-define the word stockpile but any of the below documented finds would kill thousands of US citizens if it was smuggled into the US by terrorists... hmmmmm

Found: 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium

• Found: 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons

• Found: Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas

• Found: 1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs

• Found: 17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin

The article makes no sense to you or ANYONE..but then, consider the AIM of the article, and it's clear they want to be "unclear" so that ONLY the headline (Bush lied) is remembered.

Of course he wouldn't know if the training actually went forward if we wasn't on site to see it.

However, that wouldn't necessarily contradict his previous statements that Al-Queda sent operatives to Iraq to learn the secrets of WMD production from the foremost Arab practitioner, Iraq.

Yes it is true.

CNN on Thursday obtained a CIA document......

CIA will leak horribly for next few months. Negroponte is slaughtering the pigs in the CIA, and Goss is only there to keep the purge quiet, not to defend. Negroponte runs the intel show now.

Reason for restructuring intel was to clean parasites from CIA. Agency will be gutted and restructured. Parasites will be eliminated.

Bad for United States to have too much curiosity about how this takes place. These things are not very interesting. No newspapers, no Giant Senate Inquiry. Quietly.

[Nickey]

Nice. Handled quietly, now.
DOD has problems with interrogators returning after tour of duty and making up all types of lies for money to main stream media.
DOD should be watchful for returning disloyal personnel from tours involving sensitive information.
No benefit to these faithless personnel who have renounced their American citizenship to come back to America and publish lies.

"CNN on Thursday obtained a CIA document that outlined the history of the claim, which originated in 2002 with a captured al Qaeda operative who recanted two years later.

The CIA report appears to support a recently declassified document that revealed the Defense Intelligence Agency thought in February 2002 that the source, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, was lying to interrogators."


The "timing" of it all, February 2002 is when Joe Wilson was sent to Niger.
