Bush administration was warned by CIA seven months before the 2003 Iraq invasion that the United States could face a lineup of bad consequences, starting with anarchy and the territorial breakup of the country, former CIA Director George Tenet writes in a new book.

In the book titled "At the Center of the Storm" out Monday, Tenet writes that the Bush administration was in a rush to take down Saddam Hussein and stretch intelligence to justify the action.

Bush administration was warned about a number of worst-case scenarios, including "a surge of global terrorism against U.S. interests fueled by deepening Islamic antipathy toward the United States"; "regime-threatening instability in key Arab states"; and "major oil supply disruptions and severe strains in the Atlantic alliance."

However, Tenet cautions against concluding that the CIA predicted many of the difficulties that followed.

"Doing so would be disingenuous," because the agency saw them as possible scenarios, not certainties, he writes. "The truth is often more complex than convenient."

The analysis also presaged an intelligence community conclusion last year that the Iraq war was fueling Islamic resentment toward the United States and giving rise to a new generation of terror operatives.

The book, "At the Center of the Storm" (HarperCollins, $30), is to be released Monday. Tenet served as CIA chief from 1997 to 2004.

On Friday, the White House dismissed Tenet's portrait of an administration that rushed to war in Iraq without serious debate. [AGENCIES, AP, FOX NEWS]
