Bush wasn't briefed on the findings of the NIE report until last week. In August the NIE reported that they had new data that they were analyzing, but no details were provided.

but shrub is on a need to know basis and they only informed him about it last week. They like it when they let him go on the stump and he say things that are patently untrue. So they let him look like the fool we all know him to be. They need to maintain his image.

"...was available to him in August". Stephen Hadley has said as much, but as we all know The Decider is neither curious nor competent so he probably did not avail himself of this report until word was out that the NEI Report on Iran was going to be made public - then, mysteriously, two weeks ago The Decider showed interest.
It's going to take many years for the USA to regain it's credibility in the world. Many, many years.
