After P-Day, Intelligence Agencies in Disarray

by Stuart Swift Tue, Nov 24, 2015 5:42AM

In the American invasion of Iraq, the centre stone of an entire mosaic of intelligence failure was the destruction of the civilian infrastructure necessary to handle the depleted uranium aftermath due to false intelligence suggesting Saddam would have had his weapons assembled on the launch pad. As a result, the program was attacked in places where it was not really weak, while its actual weaknesses caught no attention, and the overall damage in combination with the radiological effects left the country an easy catch for the Islamic State, where everything can only be better than the official stupidity and ignorance of the national security state.
