They call it "group think". But shit, do you have to be an old man before you understand that people do what the boss wants? Does anyone NOT do what the boss wants?
Bush wanted the WMD. Cheney says they are still there. (He also says "go fuck yourself", which gives a little heads up to anyone that might bring him news that he doesn't like.)
We SAW the drone aircraft Iraq had: it was joke. We KNOW that the yellow cake story was bullshit. We KNOW there were no mobile chemical labs (and so did Colin "the house boy" Powell (Harry Belafonte nailed him with that one), and we knew the half a dozen aluminum tubes were bogus and that you need several hundreds of them to produce anything at all, and a bodacious factory to house them, but they were missile tubes anyway.
All this is giving cover to Bush: he was mislead. Right.

Hmm. I wonder how long the CIA will put up with being the Bush administration’s whipping boy? I guess they lost whatever power struggle there was when Tenet was fired. What did Tenet know to keep him so popular among politicians of both parties and keep him as head of the CIA between the Clinton and Bush administrations? What did George the Lesser find out that gave him the ability to show Tenet the door? We may never know…
