The CIA didn’t go in front of the UN with a vial of anthrax claiming the evidence of WMDs was a slam dunk. That was the neocons.
The CIA did something much worse. They never noticed that the Soviet Union was in collapse. Instead they had Team B imagine the Soviets were coming up with borderline magical technologies to spread communism everywhere.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoThere is a lot of things to be said about CIA, but I sincerely doubt that they did not notice the collapse. Now we can talk about which reports ended on which desk to ensure a rationale existed for whatever course of action was chosen, but that, as awful as it sounds, politics. In short, I disagree with you unless you have some reasonable proof to back that assertion.
