I don't think Bush invaded knowing it was a ruse... I mean, who would have told him? That the part about not speaking truth to power. But, I wonder if Bush, Rice and Powell shouldn't have been more skeptical about the sources. I know Powell was, yet he went forward. Tenet was bouncing off the walls. Rumsfelt wasn't listening. Lots of pressure on the intel analysts. And don't forget that Feith was so unhappy with their skepticism that he formed his own Intel cell (that was headed up by a former colleague of mine)
I think hate is too strong a word and it's not directed at any particular person (okay, maybe Feith and Wolfowitz. But there is also Richard Pearl and a few others. To me, they didn't understand what it would mean to commit human beings (i.e. soldiers) to an "idea" and "philosphy" they had.
