Who cares what the intelligence community says?

Apparently, the CIA and other intelligence agencies got some things right vis-a-vis this Iraq fiasco. Yesterday the Senate revealed details of a report issued by the agencies in January 2003 and circulated around the White House and the Pentagon. This report predicted violence between the Sunni and Shia. It also noted that attacking Iraq would help Al Qaeda and other Islamist organizations.

The report was not 100% perfect. It did make the assumption that there would be little disruption of the oil flow. However, most sensible people would have at least had second thoughts. True believers would not.

At the same time this report was circulating we were being told this nightmare would be a cakewalk.

If this were ancient Japan, Bush and company would fall on their swords. Maybe impeachment is the right thing to do now.
