Iraq: Distorted Intelligence, Failed Strategy

CONservative Spin:

“Everyone believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Our intelligence was faulty, but toppling his regime removed a dangerous tyrant and brought freedom to the Iraqi people. Building democracy in Iraq will change the political dynamics of the Middle East and provide a beacon of freedom for the region.”

The facts are clear: Bush’s team was bent on going to war and distorted the intelligence to mislead the American people into supporting an ill-conceived invasion. The question now is how to deal with this terrible mess. There aren’t any easy answers, but our troops cannot be left as targets in the midst of a growing Iraqi civil war. We need to redeploy our troops over the next year, support the Iraqis in their effort to govern themselves and encourage our allies in the region to provide assistance.
