This is a foolish question. It's not like Bush hasn't been warned about up and coming disaster in Iraq before. Bush and his advisers live in a fantasy world. It doesn't matter what anyone wants Bush to about warnings, it's what we expect him to do about it. And that's to have us believe that these warnings could never be anticipated.

Below is another instance of Iraqi events that Bush believes could never been anticipated.


PREWAR INTELLIGENCE PREDICTED IRAQI INSURGENCY

By John Diamond, USA TODAY

Two reports by the National Intelligence Council, a group of senior analysts that pools assessments from across the nation's intelligence community, warned Bush in January 2003, two months before the invasion, that the conflict could spark factional violence and an anti-U.S. insurgency, the official said. One of the reports said the U.S.-led occupation could "increase popular sympathy for terrorist objectives." Similarly sober warnings by the CIA went to senior administration officials and Congress as part of daily intelligence summaries, the intelligence official said.
