Not really. They are idiots.

If Bush is an idiot and the Dems were tricked into this war by him, why would you want them in charge?

Repeating something that is not true will not make it more true.

I guess Bush forced the British, the IAEA, the UN, the Democrats, and the rest of the world into intelligence that showed that Iraq had WMD.

Story Highlights
CBS: Hussein claimed he didn't think the U.S. would invade Iraq over WMD

FBI agent says Hussein lied about having WMD to intimidate Iran

But the Iraqi dictator said he wanted to start the WMD program again, agent said

Hussein was captured in 2003 and hanged in 2006

There were operatives and analysts in the intelligence community saying that Iraq was not a threat. And they were collecting this intelligence on Iraq because they were asked to do so by the Bush administration. The intelligence community collects intelligence for the policy makers and there is a long history of policy makers picking only the pieces of intelligence that agree with their desired course of action. And Bush desired action against Iraq since he took office.

Anyways, you don't even have to try and connect Saddam to al Qaeda to connect him to terrorism. It is a well known fact that Saddam gave $20,000 to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers between 2000 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Thats a pretty substantial link to terrorism.

And another great way that they could have sold the war was the genocide of the Kurds in the late 80s. Who wouldn't want to bring someone who was responsible for the massacre of over 200,000 of his own people to justice?

Good observation.

Adds nothing of substance to the context/content of the debate though.

What a choice, huh? He was either a liar, or horribly incompetent.

Our conservative friends are congratulating themselves because of their belief that he was merely horribly incompetent, and not a liar.

Oh, those wacky 29 percenters!!!

For some reason the pre-9/11 PNAC goal of attacking Iraq, and all the PNAC shills in the W administration who created this war seem invisible to you.

I wonder what Al Qaeda who is about to be defeated there thinks about the reasons for the war?
