...Mr Bush is facing re-election this year and is necessarily cautious of exposing himself to attacks from his Democratic opponents that he manipulated intelligence to make the case for war.

Instead, he told reporters, he favoured a sweeping investigation into the failings of US intelligence agencies on the entire issue of nuclear proliferation, from Iraq to North Korea, Iran and Libya, and as far back in time as the Indian and Pakistani nuclear tests in 1998, which the CIA failed to anticipate. "We also want to look at our war against proliferation and weapons of mass destruction, kind of in a broader context," he said.
