Bush warned about challenges of Iraq invasion "WASHINGTON - U.S. Intelligence agencies warned the Bush administration before the invasion of Iraq that ousting Saddam Hussein would create a 'significant risk' of sectarian strife, encourage al-Qaida attacks and open the way for Iranian interference... and cautioned that establishing democracy would be 'long, difficult and probably turbulent' The administration also instituted a massive purge of members of Saddam's Baath party and disbanded the Iraqi army - moves that helped spark the country's Sunni Muslim insurgency - even though the newly declassified intelligence reports had recommended against doing so" "These dire warnings were widely distributed at the highest levels of government, and it's clear that the administration didn't plan for any of them." - Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Senate Intelligence CommitteeBradenton Herald (page 1) & Senate Intelligence Committee Quote 09/08/06 "WASHINGTON - Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein rejected pleas for assistance from Osama bin Laden and tried to capture terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi when he was in Iraq, a Senate Intelligence Committee report released Friday found, casting further doubt on the Bush administration's rationale for invading Iraq. The 150-page report said the administration's claims were untrue. 'Postwar findings indicate that Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qaida and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qaida to provide material or operational support,' the report said. The report was released along with a second one that said false information from the exile group Iraqi National Congress, led by Ahmad Chalabi, was widely distributed in prewar intelligence reports and used to support intelligence assessments about Iraq's weapons and links to terrorism. Intelligence officials repeatedly warned that the INC was unreliable, but White House and Pentagon officials ignored the warnings." |
