Not these:
In 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it "did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments."
The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found "no indication taht the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's WMD."
It ensured that a Bush will Never Ever be President in the US. It also guaranteed that the GOP will not have a POTUS for the next decade. Sorry, neither Palin, Limbaugh, or Jindal will be POTUS.

Your reference DOES NOT mention the SIC report saying the administration didn't lie while your reference to the Robb-Silberman report mentions only the intelligence community, NOT the administration. You've provided nothing saying the administration didn't lie us into war.
I have yet to see any factual contradiction of the PBS documentary Bush's War.
As I was researching the possible benefits of the Iraq war, I found none other than profit for some companies such as Halliburton.
I did, however, find plenty about what the Iraq war cost us and others such as:
Iraq War Facts, Results & Statistics at January 25, 2010
4,377 US Soldiers Killed, 31,639 Seriously Wounded
Spent & Approved War-Spending - About $900 billion of US taxpayers' funds spent or approved for spending through Sept 2010.
Cost of deploying one U.S. soldier for one year in Iraq - $390,000 (Congressional Research Service)
Mismanaged & Wasted in Iraq - $10 billion, per Feb 2007 Congressional hearings
Halliburton Overcharges Classified by the Pentagon as Unreasonable and Unsupported - $1.4 billion
Iraqi Civilians Killed, Estimated - A UN issued report dated Sept 20, 2006 stating that Iraqi civilian casualties have been significantly under-reported. Casualties are reported at 50,000 to over 100,000, but may be much higher. Some informed estimates place Iraqi civilian casualities at over 600,000.
