Hehe - I was just thinking the same thing:p To be "fair" though - the poll does ask for "the most" and actually I'm surprised (edit for update in number)4 people actually think all 5 choices are 100% liars.;)

Actually you are missing two options:

1) British intelligence
2) Bush administration

No one in their right mind would equate US intelligence with the Bush administration. When it comes to Iraq, the IAEA appears to be largely correct . . . especially compared to Iraqi defectors, British government, Bush administration, or US intelligence (depending on who you ask).

I DID NOT believe GWB. I still do not understand why the US invaded Iraq before it caught OBL and knocked out al-Qaida.

This poll is faulty. US intelligence believed Iraqi Defectors, and The British Goverment whom were labeled as proof of our intelligence's validity were simply pulling numbers out of their asses. And every time the UN tries to come to a conclusion, we give them a can of STFU.

I believed and still believe GWB. You can't deny the evidence we have already found showing that wmd programs existed in Iraq (we just haven't found actual wmd yet, which most likely were already being exported and stored out of country). BUT, I would have focused 100% on Afghanistan during his first term, spend the next few years building up the military and put together documentation that made it impossible to refute why we needed to go into Iraq, then invade during his 2nd term.

I can deny that Bush knew anything of substance BEFORE the war. There is virtually no evidence that we went to this war with more than speculation in this area

UN seems to be winning handily, especially when you consider that the IAEA is part of the UN.

Simply saying "The United Nations" is to broad a term. People should always seperate the political body (Exemple: Security counsil) from their other organs such as IAEA and UNICEF. A lot of people out there have little faith in the UN's political body now a days, but believe the other organs are necessary. Which is most likely why some voted IAEA and not just "The United Nations" since that would include the political body.
