No, really?

From CNN:

Former CIA Director George Tenet said he regretted assuring President Bush in 2002 that he had "slam dunk" evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

"Those were the two dumbest words I ever said," Tenet told about 1,300 people at a Kutztown University forum Wednesday.

The theory was a leading justification for the war in Iraq.

Such weapons were never found.

For those of us who heard him speak at graduation in 2000, I might say that this might be an overstatement. The "7 Tenets of Success" was pretty dumb. Not unnecessarily leading to the loss of tens of thousands of lives dumb, but dumb nonetheless.
