Sound Military Intelligence lead the collation to defeat Saddam in 1990 during Desert Storm. Poor intelligence gathering allowed for mistakes to happen in the initial phases of the recent conflict.

Now bad military intelligence has done harm to our forces, but that does not equate that military intelligence is something to be avoided.

In other words Kafir, I am not really sure of the point that you are attempting to make.

Unless its this bad military intelligence leads to problems that should/could of been prevented. The piece that is missing is that its often the human being attempting to analysis the data that makes the mistake, not the system itself.

Information has to be gathered and analysised to help protect the force, can it be wrong, or the wrong conclusions made - yes, but it still needs to be done.
