In order to go to war in Iraq, the Bush administration needed Congress to pass a war resolution. In order to get Congress to vote for an attack Iraq, a nation that had not attacked the United States, a case had to be made that that country posed a threat to the United States. The groundwork for this case had been under construction for the previous 10 years and intensified after 9-11-2001. The Bush administration created a politically-motivated and controlled intelligence and foreign policy system that went around career intelligence analysts, blocked international weapons agreements and inspections in Iraq, and selectively presented to Congress a false depiction of the danger that Iraq represented.
