But, It Really Is Bush's Fault. Really!

The Senate report on intelligence failures before the Iraq war puts the entire blame on the CIA and exonerates the Bush Administration. But, the New York Times isn't about to let facts get in the way of unsubstantiated implications.

Although the Senate Intelligence Committee found no evidence that the Bush administration had tried to coerce the C.I.A. to produce exaggerated prewar warnings about Iraq's weapons programs, its findings did little to still the furious debate about whether the White House and the Pentagon tried to influence the agency's conclusions.

One note. Since the Clinton Administration got the same intelligence and also believed that Saddam had WMD's, then how can the political climate be blamed?
