I'm only trying to figure how Chalabi managed to fool the entire US intelligence machinery into invading Iraq, and the only logical conclusion is he couldn't. Facts were being created by the hawks and these people decides on who gets access to the President.
As far as I am aware, the decision making process started with a desire to invade Iraq and then once it was decided to do this any evidence that could justify this decision was collected and circulated (even if it came from someone who was known to be delusional).
Even worse, the UK government knew that there weren't good reasons to invade Iraq, but went along with it simply to keep in with the United States.
I didn't think GWB himself was a neocon, although he was surrounded by a few.
