( Bush/Cheney regime willfully and wantonly distort and cherry pick and fabricate intelligence reports to help sell the necessity of invading Iraq and taking out Saddam . The Bush administration within ten days of the start of the new government in January 2001 were intent on invading Iraq but they believed they had to invent intelligence and a pretext to go to war even though Saddam by all official accounts had been contained and was no longer a major threat to Israel or the US.)
