This is the problem of crying wolf. Now that neither the US or the UK has a credible intelligence service when it comes to this sort of thing, we are left with our own particular brand of toothless fascism. If we do something about this we're warmongers: if we don't, we're weak.

If, of course, our intelligence had been correct in the first place, and we hadn't gone to war in Iraq, we might not be in this position. We might have even retained the moral ascendancy, which would have enabled us to act in a more determined fashion.

We may even have had the money to do it too.

Well, I wouldn't start from here....

I'd guess we're all intellectual etc etc. But if anyone gets any other results, I'd love to see 'em.
