Given that you think intelligence agencies supply people with information there really isn't any point on wasting more breath on you. I teach this stuff to the hard of thinking and even they pick it up.
Like I've said loads of times before, it's all there for people to read. What they think of me, or you, is a matter for the reader to decide.
Blair and his crew are liars, not because the intelligence was wrong but because they said there was no doubt about its veracity. Yet the very people who supplied the intelligence specifically said they could not verify the information that the intelligence was based on and that consequently the conclusions were uncertain.
Intelligence has to be based on something, otherwise it's just called making things up.
If they weren't just making things up, but the information on which they were basing their conclusions was dubious, then there was no certainty and Blair and Co lied.
If the information wasn't important then they were just making things up, in which case there was nothing on which to base their report to parliament. That seems to be your viewpoint.
But the end result is still that Blair and Co lied.
If you can't understand that simple point, then god help those you claim to teach.
