WHAT WENT WRONG?
Synopsis of The White House serious mistakes in invading Iraq and poor judgment vis-Ã-vis the Iraqis and Arab people.
1- The Israeli intelligence, Mossad and other Israeli agencies;
2- The Christian Maronites (Mawarnah) sources in Lebanon;
3- The Christian Ashurians (Assyrians or Ashuris) in Iraq;
4- The Christian Syriac (Syrianis) in Syria;
5- The Christian Copts (Kouptis) in Egypt;
6- The military and intelligence observers in India;
7- The French agents operating in Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Tunis, the Middle East, the Near East and Asia Minor;

9- The Jews who emigrated from Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon to Israel and finally settled in the United States.

Both agencies, the CIA and the FBI publicly claimed that they lacked effective human intelligence on the ground and in the field.
