It was stated many times that our biggest problem back then was lack of HUMINT. Not necessarily would the CIA have improved on that, but it would have been better than what we had (and we did have some)

>>//But the problem with any decision to act is you only see the consequences of the action without really knowing what the consequences would have been of inaction. So the debate is difficult, because the choice isn't between what we have now in Iraq and a perfect world, but to make a proper comparison we need to know what 2008 would look like with Saddam or one of his mad sons in power, sanctions off, and perhaps their competing with Iran for influence in the region - possibly by funding/supplying Hamas to match Iran's support of Hezbolloh.

>>You know, I hate to come across as a Republican shill, but I've got to give Clinton and the dems a lot of credit for gutting the CIA. We didn't have any humans on the ground that could give us the intel we needed. Had they been there we might have, make that, would have had much better info.

>You are so right, John. The CIA was doing everything right until Clinton and the Democrats came along and gutted it. It's an outrage!
