It would be, if that is what happened. But there is not one factual element in your paragraph. The initial intelligence reports gave a much different picture than the later "intelligence" reports. Why, because Team B was put into play, just as they were in 1974-80. During this time Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz convinced Ford to set up an "independent" analyst team to review CIA intel and deliver a different assessment of Soviet strength. Sound familiar?
This was to counter Kissinger's detente policies and move to an aggressive militarized foreign policy favored by Wohlstetter and the RAND corporation, who sponsored and mentored most of the key players, Rummy, Wolfie and Cheney. While Team B conducted it's intelligence "reassessment", their findings would be "leaked" to the media. Instead of the failing Russian economic and technology unable to compete with a capitalist war machine which was already double Russia's forces, they "found" that Russia had a vast and highly advanced military machine that dwarfed ours. The CIA argued that there was zero evidence for this view.. and Team B actually replied that they were so advanced, we couldn't see them, and that's how we know they're there.
In later years, when it was outed that Team B deliberately delivered false information to congress, the conspirators were completely unapologetic. In fact, they boasted that because of their noble lie that ramped up our weapons industry, we bankrupted Russia through military spending in a race they had already lost. They were caught lying, they admitted to lying and they said they'd do it again to accomplish their goals.
Prior to 9-11, the CIA intelligence clearly stated that Saddam Hussein was not a threat to the US or it's interests. The intelligence you refer to was actually the work of Team B and only later, after an unprecedented 21 private meetings at CIA HQ between Cheney and the director, did it become the CIA reassessment. No one in their right minds would toss out the previous five years of intelligence assessments on Iraq for the ridiculous sources presented, especially men that have been at or near those positions of power for 16 years (76-92), conspired in the halloween massacre of 76, and conspired with Team B to deliver false intelligence to congress in 74-80..
Men like this are not incompetent. They don't make these kinds of "mistakes". They have a well documented history of deceiving congress and the people in order to advance an agenda of global scope.
Or in short... LMAO.. Mistakes my ass.
By the way, each of the facts listed above is incredibly well documented. Before you go asking me for links... just google it first. It'll be good for you to get the intellectual exercise.
