> The situation was complex but the conclusion was ultimately pretty easy. It was obvious that Bush et al were completely making stuff up. It seems obvious that they were motivated to make a case for invading Iraq. But that doesn't make it immediately obvious to me that they completely made it up or that they weren't acting off of other intelligence. Since we're on the subject of speculation, if I had to put my tin foil hat on today I'd say that the invasion of Iraq had more to do with Iran (and their allies) than Hussein.
