Quote: Are you implying Bush had no motivation to lie? That is absurd. He had the biggest possible motivation: he planned and started an unpopular and unnecessary war, and he had to justify it!!
That is entirely different from what you were stating before. You just said he lied to justify the war, when all of the arguments thus far have been he lied and took us to war. Two completely different thoughts there, bub.
Quote: Who said the president should have "assumed" anything? Not me. Rex and I said quite the opposite. We said that the president should have weighed the evidence himself.
Ok, you're line of thinking makes no sense.
- The President should have weighed all of the evidence himself. (Most of us assume he did this, you assume he did not.) - The entire World was showing intel that supported our own intel, that Saddam had WMD's. (Yet you believe somehow if the President would have looked closer he could have have come to a different conclusion, even though he is not an intel analyst.) - You claim "weakness of the evidence was readily apparent". (Yet no-one in the world's intelligence community agreed with you at the time, remembering that hindsight is 20/20.)
Tell me again how you rationalize this train of thought?
