The "Conclusion" of the report of the "Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction" begins with this:
"The harm done to American credibility by our all too public intelligence failings in Iraq will take years to undo."
It is nice to see Americans publicly acknowledge that the illegal war was based on one big "intelligence failure".
If they want to start that project of regaining some respect and credibility, first thing they need to do is get the hell out of Iraq already. Since that probably won't happen any time soon, "years" does not seem to be the appropriate time frame for getting any results.
