Not just bad intel. They cherry picked what they wanted. They ignored what contradicted their desire to attack Iraq. They really aren't quite as innocent as your statement indicates.
Let's parse words some more. They mispoke their frigging self.
Wrong, we have as evidence the summary of the NIE from October 2002 and it CLEARLY states Iraq had WMD's, it clearly states Iraq was working to make more, it clearly states Iraq was trying to find terror groups to work with it. Then of course we have all the rest of the world, wanna explain how Bush used that mind control ray to make everyone else believe Iraq had those weapons?
