Key Bush Intelligence Briefing Kept From Hill Panel
I've got a dinner guest here this evening... Sar, of Sound Destruction, has graced us with her presence, and we will be dining on one of KidBastard's specialties. I'm sure she'll let you know how it is ;)

So, what credible source did he base his decision to invade another country did he actually use?

Ten days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush was told in a highly classified briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the attacks and that there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al Qaeda, according to government records and current and former officials with firsthand knowledge of the matter.
The information was provided to Bush on September 21, 2001 during the "President's Daily Brief," a 30- to 45-minute early-morning national security briefing. Information for PDBs has routinely been derived from electronic intercepts, human agents, and reports from foreign intelligence services, as well as more mundane sources such as news reports and public statements by foreign leaders.
One of the more intriguing things that Bush was told during the briefing was that the few credible reports of contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda involved attempts by Saddam Hussein to monitor the terrorist group. Saddam viewed Al Qaeda as well as other theocratic radical Islamist organizations as a potential threat to his secular regime. At one point, analysts believed, Saddam considered infiltrating the ranks of Al Qaeda with Iraqi nationals or even Iraqi intelligence operatives to learn more about its inner workings, according to records and sources.

god told him to do it.
Actually, I believe the voice in his head told him if he invaded Iraq he'd find long term oil.
But chimpy misheard the voice. It said he'd find long turmoil.
ROFL! Good one Sans-culotte. Anyways, way before the Bush regime engineered its 9/11 inside job they had designs on Iraq. The Project for a New American Century (Wolfowitz, Cheney, Perle, Feith, Rumsfeld et al) had tried unsuccessfully to pressure Clinton into invading Iraq in 1998, and for what? Three guesses and the first 2 don't count: OIL. Iraq of course is the world's 2nd-largest oil producer, and with the way the Saudis are widely suspected of overrating their reserves while not letting independent observers come in to verify them, Iraq may well be actually quite closer to being even with the Saudi crude reserves if not perhaps a little ahead, who knows? Either way it's sitting on a lake of oil and that explains the interest the Bushites have in it. Regarding Afghanistan, it goes back to the P.N.A.C.'s scheme to build an oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea oil fields, then across two former-Soviet central Asian countries, then across Afghanistan to Pakistan and a port. The Taliban government of Afghanistan was the only holdout in this pipeline plan, so then the Bushites did the 9/11 inside job which they designed to be used as an "excuse" to invade Afghanistan and topple the Taliban government, to make the country safe for the pipeline construction. To try to squeeze the most out of 9/11, they also tried to use it as an "excuse" to invade Iraq by trying to falsely tie Saddam Hussein in with Al Qaida, when neither had anything to do with 9/11 in the first place. Just as with most other wars throughout history, the things the aggressors publicly announce as "reasons" for their aggression have nothing to do with the real motivations behind it.
