They gave us the wmd intelligence too

You got a source for that?
Wait, I'll save you from wasting your time.
You don't because it's not true.
In fact, there wasn't any reliable intelligence on this. The Bush admin made it all up so they'd have a pretext to go to war. Hell, the CIA even came out and said that the "intelligence" wasn't reliable and Cheney and his people harassed the analysts who wrote reports stating that.

Did you even read the article that you linked? Did you even read what you quoted?
I did. I couldn't find where it said Israel was the source of the WMDs in Iraq and your quote isn't saying a damn thing.
Please provide a quote from your source that says the US got this intelligence from Israel.

I never said they were the origin, only that they were a source, which means they were either fools or liars and unreliable either way.
PretendsHesPissed t1_ixwdolt wrote
And I asked you for a source that says that.
You haven't provided that and, again, all your article talks about is how Israel got their intelligence on Saddam himself wrong ... not that they knew he had WMDs and that they told their secururity partners.
The source of that "intelligence" came from an exiled Iraqi politician who had it out for Saddam (reasonably so as Saddam sucked), not Israel.

They corroborated it.

But your article doesn't say that and that's not what you said before either.
> They gave us wmd intelligence
That's not the same as corroborate. And, again, that's also not mentioned in the article you linked and didn't actually read.
What's it like to live in a world where you know so little and even the little you do know is wrong? What is it that makes you unwilling to do better research and better equip yourself with actual, factual information?
The_General_Li t1_ixzdm42 wrote
Yeah it is literally the same. They literally admit to their intelligence being wrong.

Wrong

lol ... so you just gonna drop a link but not drop anything from the article to support what you're saying?
Guessing that's because the article doesn't say what you're doing. In fact, if it did, you'd be able to link plenty of other articles and havenz,,,,,

It's literally in the url

That's the thing though:
Your link doesn't talk about the subject we're talking about. That being that it was Israel who told the US about Iraq's supposed WMDs.
I asked you for proof and you hit up Google, pulled up the first thing you could find that sounded legit, didn't even read the fkkin' article, and STILL seem to think that you're somehow right.
Incredible!
This ends up being one of those things where you tell everyone you're stupid without saying "I'm stupid." Though, to be fair, if you updated your link to literally anything else (such as "I'm stupid") it would have the same usefulness and ability to prove your point as it does now.

What was the Israeli intelligence failure they are referring to then?

Proof?
