No,team dump, the CIA did not tell the Bush misadministration that Iraq had WMD.

That was done by the Bush administration. Specifically these folks:

The CIA tried to warn them. Made Darth Cheney so damned mad he went over there to straighten them out.

But thanks, team dump, cause most of your mouth breathing supporters still think there were WMD there. Thanks for pointing out to them that this was a big joke.

1. Did Not are the key words...

[putitinD]

2. Trump doesn't know anything, he is just a bullshitter and makes it up as he goes.

[forgotmylogin]

3. Didn't they keep rejecting reports of no WMD

until they got one that supported them going in with the military and dividing up the oilfields for corporations?

9. They never got one. They deleted key qualifiers in one

and presented an abridged version to Congress.

4. Woodward: Tenet told Bush WMD case a 'slam dunk'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- About two weeks before deciding to invade Iraq, President Bush was told by CIA Director George Tenet there was a "slam dunk case" that dictator Saddam Hussein had unconventional weapons, according to a new book by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward.

5. Disputed by Tenet

Tenet says in a 60 Minutes interview that after no weapons were found, the administration planted stories that the United States invaded Iraq based on the erroneous intelligence Tenet provided.

Woodward was BFEE through and through.

7. The CIA Just Declassified the Document That Supposedly Justified the Iraq Invasion

"Apart from being influenced by policymakers' desires, there were several other reasons that the NIE was flawed," the RAND study concluded. "Evidence on mobile biological labs, uranium ore purchases from Niger, and unmanned-aerial-vehicle delivery systems for WMDs all proved to be false. It was produced in a hurry. Human intelligence was scarce and unreliable. While many pieces of evidence were questionable, the magnitude of the questionable evidence had the effect of making the NIE more convincing and ominous. The basic case that Saddam had WMDs seemed more plausible to analysts than the alternative case that he had destroyed them. And analysts knew that Saddam had a history of deception, so evidence against Saddam's possession of WMDs was often seen as deception."

6. George W. Bushs CIA briefer admits Iraq WMD intelligence was a lie

http://www.salon.com/2015/05/20/george_w_bushs_cia_briefer_admits_iraq_wmd_intelligence_was_a_lie/

A flurry of politicians quickly declaring their candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination has meant that the Bush administration’s Iraq War is back in the national conversation. Jeb Bush has been forced to answer for his brother’s mistakes, while others like Marco Rubio have toed the party line — knowing the information that the administration knew at the time, they too would have invaded Iraq.

The thing is, the Iraq War was not the result of an intelligence goof — rather, the country’s top office systematically misled the public about Iraq’s nonexistent WMD program, as well as Saddam Hussein’s link to Al Qaeda.

11. Bush/Cheney were lying about what the CIA told them. The CIA gave

the facts at a classified briefing for certain members of Congress, like Senator Kennedy. That's why he voted against the IWR -- but he wasn't allowed to share what he knew because it was classified.

10. I bet Bush and Cheney were his sources. n/t
