That falls directly on the shoulders of Mr. Bush IMO. They knew the Intel was shaky from day one. Please don't fall into the BS they are trying to feed you that this is the CIA's fault.
While the CIA does shoulder part of the blame for the intel it is certainly no secret in Intel circles that Iraqi intelligence has always been flawed. There is a long standing weakness in Iraqi Intel for many reasons. We haven't had good agents on the ground in many, many years.
Bush's blame on Bad Intel is only to subdue the masses. Anyone who has followed Iraqi intel know's it has been far from accurate for a long time. This includes the Bush Administration, they knew it was faulty, but they used it anyway because they were going into Iraq one way or the other.
