From what i have read and heard (no i haven't read it all) the failure was due to the lack of information we had abt the state of things in Iraq this led to people making presumtions (typo??!?) abt the WMD ie relying on sources whcih had a vested intrest in Saddam being kicked out.

It is very hard to get reliable info abt a country which is ruled my someone like Saddam, this is why we have such trouble getting info abt North Korea. You have to go with what you have to hand and use it to make intelligent concluesions from. I am glad that no-one is being made a scapegoat of on this.

Kronas why does someone always have to be to blame?!?
