Kevin they didn't have access. To continue the quote you used. -- Bush contends Congress had "the same" intelligence he had, and that when he held office President Clinton had the same data, too. Yet Congress had only some of the same intelligence, and only that provided by the administration.
The president did not share his most sensitive intelligence, such as his Daily Brief. Congress only got summaries that did not include the skepticism expressed about some of the information. And it was all classified and not cleared for public release. -- Moreover, the UN weapons inspectors were reporting months before that there were no WMD production or storage facilities. So it looks like Bush is distorting and lying about the runup to the Iraq invasion. larry On 11/17/05, Kevin Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "So it was silly when Bush asserted last week that critics who complain of > being misled by distorted administration intelligence on Iraq were rewriting > history." > > This is what pisses me off.
