"U.S. intelligence agencies need to explain why their research indicated Iraq possessed banned weapons before the American-led invasion, says the outgoing top U.S. inspector, who now believes Saddam Hussein had no such arms."
Why not ask why the Clinton Administration cut the CIA budget and prevented us from paying informants? Might that have something to do with it? No agents in the field that would enable us to see the "vortex of corruption"? I know, I know, Bush should have known what the CIA didn't....
Why wasn't the U.N.'s intelligence on the situation any better?
And did anybody notice that Congress passed a resolution calling for Regime change in 1998? Could that have Something to do with why there were plans to implement a regime change floating around in washington BEFORE 9/11?

"However, we do know that Kay also thinks, according to Pres. Bush, that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction-related program activities." Like drawings of long range missles, among others."
No. We know what Kay thinks about the WMD programs from his interim report testimony before the House and Senate. Full text with pictures at link included.
