Here's a quote from Dubya

Mr Bush's State of the Union address, 29 January 2003:

Today, the gravest danger in the war on terror, the gravest danger facing America and the world, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. These regimes could use such weapons for blackmail, terror, and mass murder...

Twelve years ago, Saddam Hussein faced the prospect of being the last casualty in a war he had started and lost. To spare himself, he agreed to disarm of all weapons of mass destruction.

For the next 12 years, he systematically violated that agreement. He pursued chemical, biological and nuclear weapons even while inspectors were in his country...

The dictator of Iraq is not disarming. To the contrary, he is deceiving.





You want to separate the two (WMD's and terrorists) but Dubya used them to scare people enough to think that action was not only necessary but a moral imperative. Hey but it's OK people waging multi billion dollar wars can make it up as they go right? Maybe he got confused. Maybe he thought the end would justify the means and that lying would be OK when everyone saw how well it all turned out.
You can say "well he was half right and that's enough for me" but I'm not that easily placated.

Nice try Dave, no sale.



20/20 vision is nice to look back with when you know for certain, something that we really don't have now.
