Because after the pack of lies told to justify the Iraq invasion, nobody believes anything that Bush/Blair says anymore.
It doesn't matter that there may be a serious issue that needs to be dealt with, they cried wolf once too often - if Blair stood up in the uk parliment and said he wanted to go to war on Iran he would be facing a vote of no confidence in hours. That is one of the great tragedies of the Iraq war, it used to be when the President or Prime Minister said there was a problem and war was needed to deal with it the opposition parties and public would believe them. Now they can produce all the "facts" and intelligence they can get and people will think it's all just been made up again.
