How good was the intelligence that we used to pinpoint military targets during “Shock and Awe”?

If our intelligence in Iraq was wrong about WMDs, could it have been wrong about the precise locations of all those targets we all saw exploding on TV. We were so rushed to start the war that we didn’t have time to properly arm our soldiers, so couldn’t this info have been acquired in a hurry with hastily drawn conclusions about the locations. In other words, if the Bush Administration wasn’t any more concerned about preventable deaths and injuries among our own troops than to send them into battle without body armor, why would they worry about killing and maiming a few more innocent Iraqis.
