> Earlier this week, President Bush claimed " we all

> stockpiles of weapons " [1] in Iraq, and claimed that

> he had no inkling that

> his pre-war claims about the Iraqi threat were weak.

> But as a major new

> top administration

> officials were repeatedly warned before the invasion

> that its case for war

> before the war. These documents either warned the

> administration about its

> WMD and Iraq-al Qaeda claims, or totally debunked

> them. In some cases,

> intelligence experts explicitly warned top officials

> not to make the claims

> they were making, and yet they were ignored. The

> story wholly refutes

> assertions by the White House and Republicans that

> it was the intelligence

> community to blame. In fact, as the data shows, the

> White House deliberately

> ignored intelligence to mislead America.
