    "Sharing" WMD intel

    We'll probably never find out, but I would bet that the Bushies knew Saddam was bluffing on WMD (mainly to help keep his hold on power), and that a quick strike invasion would consequently be relatively risk-free. Had the weapons inspectors been allowed to finish their work and then come back to say "nothing there," it would have sucked all of the oxygen out of Bush's "we-must-invade-NOW" faux crisis argument.
