Were they? I’ve never heard this. Do you have any sources for that I can check out? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but that seems wildly out of character for them.
I think it was more that Bush and Cheney were leaning hard on the CIA to find anything that could be considered evidence of Saddam making WMD’s, no matter how flimsy, but the CIA still couldn’t manage to find anything believable.
