That's not true at all. The intelligence community reported that there were no weapons of mass destruction but then the White House got involved in the analysis and brought politics into it and changed the reports.

Don't be. Most americans can't read above a 6th grade level
As was Iran-Contra. Oliver North should still be in jail, not a talking head on the propaganda channel.
