Only rational conclusion: the so-called intelligence was so "cooked"
politically by Cheney, et. al., that the rationales reiterated for going to
war were mere political machinations based on false propaganda based on
complete distortions and direct contradictions of what the real
"intelligence" actually represented.

The problem is that because the administration's rhetoric is so far
from reality, it has become deeply partisan simply to observe the
obvious:

There was no imminent threat
Iraq had no WMD
Iraq was not connected to 9/11
There is no budget surplus
There is no job growth
etc. etc. etc.
