Bush Chose to Ignore to PreWar Intelligence Info

USAToday: A new report published by the CIA rebukes the Bush administration for not paying enough attention to prewar intelligence that predicted the factional rivalries now threatening to split Iraq, and says that policymakers worried more about making the case for the war, particularly the claim that Iraq had WMDs, than planning for the aftermath. The report was written by a team of 4 former CIA analysts led by former deputy CIA director Richard Kerr, and the NY Times says: The Bush administration "apparently paid little or no attention" to prewar assessments by the CIA and predicted that an American-led invasion of Iraq would increase support for political Islam and would result in a deeply divided Iraqi society prone to violent internal conflict. So, let's get this straight: They made up the reason to go to war, they only planned on launching the war, but did no planning past invasion... that is criminally negligent and beyond incompetent.
