The only way we could say that these situations are/were similiar is if I go back to my earlier example. If we were told there were 20 WMD's and we ended up with 10 I would say "Well, his info. had some inacuraccies in it but overall he was correct. There were WMD's and that's what we were told and that's what we got". Instead, we got none, but were told that Saddam was better off dead anyways. Can I get a 'Wtf was that about?'.

Yes, of course you can.
"Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) announced Wednesday the finding of over 500 munitions or weapons of mass destruction, specifically "sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles," in Iraq.
Reading from unclassified portions of a document developed by the U.S. intelligence community, Santorum said, "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.""
