The 'Bushies' didn't foul up the intel; the counter-Bushies at CIA did, though. And 'fouled up' doesn't equal 'faked up', which is what you're alleging, regardless of your claim, below.

I have zero faith in their ability to get it right now.

Your faith is not required for facts to be facts.

Are they producing bogus evidence? You raised that point. Not me.

No, YOU raised it, with your publicly-displyed skepticism. The only way that what has been presented to you is NOT true is that there is a nefarious plot afoot to decieve us all. Well, that's too ludicrous for rational adults to believe.

I just do not trust the Bush administration's analysis on Iraq or anything to do with Iraq.

Fair enough. They've gotten enough wrong for people of good will to disagree with just about anything labeled as 'analysis' for the entire duration of the Iraq War, and I certainly won't find fault with well-meaning critics of good faith that don't trust what sometimes appears even to us supporters to be a farcical black comedy. (Leaving aside, for the moment, that NO war effort EVER goes so smoothly that some criticism isn't possible, but one must have some historical perspective to understand that if the citizenry's expectation is a flawless and perfect war effort, we'll defeat ourselves every single time...and that's a LOT of what's going on right now.)
But what you suppose is the absolutely ridiculous proposition that you're being actively LIED TO in an attempt to prepare for an unnecessary strike at Iran. For too many reasons to list, that is simply mad. That's not what's happening here.

They have been so wrong so often that no rational person can trust them. The evidence you seem to think is so strong simply does not add up.

It certainly DOES add up, but you're being stubborn about believing it.
