Bush formula on Iraq

[ParisFrance]

George Bush went to Richard Clarke and was looking for reasons to go to war with Iraq. George Tenet comes back to him and says Iraq wmds are a "slam dunk". If they were such a slam dunk why couldn't they deliver this exact information as to their location to Hans Blix. Wouldn't Bush or his team realize the corolation between "slam dunk" and not being able to find the weapons is a time to sit back and say something isn't right. Now, to the point where Britain and Russia also provided intelligence on the wmds, whom are also memebers of the UN that has a team on the ground looking for the weapons. Why wouldn't they have been able to provide the location of the weapons to the UN inspection too with their intelligence? Why didn't the white house realize if they had intelligence, shouldn't they have been able to connect the dots by using that intelligence to locate the weapons through the inspectors opposed to finding them through the military.

3. Rumsfeld said, We know they have wmd and we know where they are.

But if Rumsfeld wasn't lying, then why didn't he tell the UN weapons inpspectors where they are?

4. Unbelievable

Yes, I don't understand why the media doesn't bring this point up more often. Repubs can't use the England and Russia excuse anymore either because if they had intelligence they too could have showed Hans Blix right where those weapons are.
